Shadowing as peer experiential learning for faculty instructional development strategy: A case study on a computer science course

Shadowing as an approach for getting first-hand learning experiences and in gathering information about workplace practices and performances has been widely used in different fields. In this case study, we analyze and propose a shadowing strategy that uses ethnographic methods for experiential learn...
