ON USING MODERN TECHNOLOGIES IN REENGINEERING A SOFTWARE RELIABILITY COURSE FOR UBIQUITOUS LEARNING

Reengineering Science becomes a major goal to support high quality education in the new Information and Communication Technology millennium. Ubiquitous learning becomes a real life necessity. The new gadgets used by students provide access to Servers offering large resources to be used both for entertainment and education. Recently, technical education makes use of new ICT developments. Not only virtual laboratories but accessing resources available on "clouds" are real facts. This paper considers a course in Software Reliability Engineering in order to describe the usage of new technologies to provide a resource available to users connected to servers supporting various formats. Mobile learning is also supported for the mentioned course. The course describes not only fundamentals of the Reliability Engineering, but it presents software reliability models, computer aided software reliability tools (CASRE, SREPT, Frestimate), and case studies. The following formats available to students: HTML5, EPUB and MOBI (to mention only specific formats for ubiquitous learning) make use of various types of objects: text, equations, images, and video. These artefacts were obtained by processing a previous course written in "Microsoft Word" with multimedia attached resources. Old multimedia files will be converted to be embedded in the new formats.
