26. Open research questions
Can open data and service APIs be automatically generated from
OSS web applications? —e.g. EasyData
Can we find evidences in forges in favour/against a software
engineering method/technique/practice/tool (e.g. Agile, OOP,
TDD, Tracking, etc.) ?
Can we find usage patterns in a wiki for a learning purpose —e.g.
competence-based assessment
Can we assist e-assessment procedures on web contents? —e.g.
EvalMediaWiki, EvalComix
Can we use videogames for learning purposes?
