Communications software laboratory of Lappeenranta University of Technology is part of Virtual Network of Innovative Educational Technologies Centres (VNIETC) in the field of Computing
The laboratory has been actively seeking different ways to improve teaching. Some of the approaches are:
**Keywords: Code Camp, Teaching Method and Curricula design**
**Main contribution:** Applying Code Camp practices and activities to the whole curricula design and to a single traditional course plan.
**Keywords: Code Camp, Group work and Skill Analysis **
**Main contribution:** Development of Code Camp method and practices in a process. The basis of development are group work activities and skills obtained through group work.
**Keywords: Code Camp, Process and Skill Analysis **
**Main contribution:** Introducing Code Camp method and practices as a process. Analysis of that process through skill development.
The main contribution is the presented peer-assessment software for software courses, which has been released as open source and the evaluation of the software.
The main contribution is the evaluation of peer-review trials on programming courses.
The main contribution of the paper is the recognition of current status of the interoperability work concerning e-Portfolios. The needs for well-designed specifications and their implementations are obvious and topical since the users (students) will be transferring their portfolios from a platform to another in near future.
