Literature and References

[alxlo]

We have quite a collection of resources in confluence/nextcloud - they should be reviewd and put into "real" references with a standard citation format.

[alxlo]

todo @alxlo identify citation style, we will use the same as in the FL curriculum

[alxlo]

Migrated some of the resources from https://bookstack.isaqb.org/link/5203#bkmrk-1.5-literature-and-o by ad2c46e

The remaining resources are mostly German books ad we already have quite a few non-English sources.

Maybe @DenHerrRing has some suggestions?

[alxlo]

1. Core Areas Needing References:

• Adult learning theory & didactics (e.g. Bowman's "Training from the Back of the Room")
• Teaching methodologies specific to professional/technical education
• Architecture documentation & communication
• Example architecture case studies (as teaching resources)

2. Proposed Organization:

• Group references by learning unit
• Prioritize English-language resources
• Focus on practical rather than academic sources

Suggested next steps:

1. @DenHerrRing - Could you review the current reference list and suggest:

   • Which current references are most valuable for T3 trainers
   • Any key didactic/teaching methodology books you've found useful
   • Resources about teaching architectural thinking/design

2. For each learning unit, we need at least:

   • One core reference for teaching methodology
   • One reference for technical content
   • One reference for practical examples/case studies

@DenHerrRing just drop references on @alxlo - he will format them and include them

@DenHerrRing just drop references on @alxlo - he will format them and include

But also please tell me where and how to explain/use them in the main content.

Thanks for your help with the documentation! I fully support using AI to speed up the work as you might have guessed from the ticket description. However, could you just take a quick look over the AI output? A brief sanity check would help catch any obvious issues. Some of the references here are on point, for some I' cant figure how they fit in.

Also please take into account which sources there already are in the reference section at the end of the curriculum and consider what we already have for LU03 after #57 ?

Big thanks!
