“…Similar factors are important for education in GSE, with some modification. In [4], we have presented the important factors in the Distributed Software Development course (DSD), that can be grouped into "objective" (factors based on facts) and "subjective" (factors based on the personal skills and characteristics of participants). The most important objective factors are communication support, collaboration support, and the infrastructure supporting the global environment.…”

The most effective setting for training in Global Software Engineering is to provide a distributed environment for students. In such an environment, students will meet challenges in recognizing problems first-hand. Teaching in a distributed environment is, however, very demanding, challenging and unpredictable compared to teaching in a local environment. Based on nine years of experience, in this paper we present the most important issues that should be taken into consideration to increase the probability of success in teaching a Global Software Engineering course.

“…A central feature of the course is for the students to learn by doing; by forming teams that collaborate with each other on a software development project. Other universities teach similar courses, but are sometimes restricted in how widelyseparated the students are [1], [2].…”

Companies around the world routinely distribute their software development across different sites. Students, however, rarely get a chance to learn the potential problems that arise, and the potential solutions to those problems, when conducting distributed development. It is especially difficult to simulate the situation for students when development is distributed across time zones and cultures. We have developed a course that requires teams of students at widely separated universities to collaborate with each other to complete a software development project. Instances of the course have been presented four times using combinations of five different universities, and we are seeking to create a larger pool of universities interested in and capable of presenting it. This paper discusses our goals, the characteristics of the course and the results of teaching it, with a primary result that all the universities want to and will offer the course again.
