This paper discusses the develoment of a new Professional Skills for IT Practitioners computing degree course. The seemingly strange bedfellows - software and communication skills - were seamlessly integrated within a constructivist framework to form a course where students were encouraged to be active lifelong learners, engaging in optimum peer dialogue, collaboration, and reflective practice.
