Abstract :
The article describes a framework for successful dissemination of disciplinary-specific education expertise, and illustrates its use with examples from project EPCoS (Effective Projectwork in Computer Science) (http://www.cs.ukc.ac.uk/national/EPCOS). Project EPCoS was funded from 1996-1999 by the UK Fund for Development in Teaching and Learning to: identify, make explicit and systematize existing best practices in computer science student project methods and techniques; to realise techniques for transferring project work practices between institutions; and to execute and evaluate such transfers
