Abstract

The university education ecosystem in most developing countries where demographics are evolving exponentially, faces the problem of the massification of education with its corollaries in terms of teacher shortages and deterioration in the quality of training, Cameroon is not left out. Faced with this situation, most stakeholders agree that the digital transformation of the ecosystem makes it possible to tackle this problem. Several solutions are proposed, ranging from the digitization of training materials downloadable by learners to the implementation of hybrid training combining the face-to-face model with distance training in direct streaming, including models “semi-face-to-face single-teacher multi-room synchronous” training courses, thus qualified because it would consist of exploiting ICT to allow the same teacher to be, through dedicated screens, simultaneously followed in several classrooms by learners with the possibility for the latter to communicate in real time with him thanks to judiciously positioned cameras. However, whatever the formula adopted, problems persist such as time which is not always sufficient, the shortage of teachers and insufficient infrastructure. Thus, this article, through the analysis of the proposed solutions and the use of the software product line engineering paradigm, proposes a formula and adaptable reference architecture for a computer system making it possible to deal with the problem of massification of teaching

Abstract

Nowadays, student mobility cannot be avoided in Cameroon university ecosystem. This phenomenon has many causes. Certain students live with their parents who are civil servants and they have to move with them when they are sending to a different region; another situation is link to universities newly created in cities where the cost of the live is better than in the home university city and students prefer move to these new universities. Since student circuit is not the same in each university, it is difficult to find his level in the new university and which courses he has to follow in order to complete his training. This problem is crucial in Cameroon university ecosystem and we tackle it in this paper. The Feature Oriented Reuse Method with Business Component Semantics (FORM/BCS) is a software domain engineering method that has been proposed to design an adaptable architecture for systems belonging in a same business domain. In this work, we apply the FORM/BCS method to manage student mobility in Cameroon university ecosystem. The result of this work is a management model that allows once a student gets an enrolment in a new university, to transfer credit from the student home university to the host one.
