Collaborative Teaching of Globally Distributed Software Development (CTGDSD1)
CTGDSD was a one-day workshop associated with ICSE 2011, Monday, May 23, 2011 in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Overview
Software engineering project courses where student teams are geographically distributed can effectively simulate the problems of globally distributed software development. However, this pedagogical model has proven difficult to adopt or sustain. It requires significant pedagogical resources and collaboration infrastructure. Institutionalizing such courses also requires compatible and reliable teaching partners.
The purpose of this workshop is to foster a community of international faculty and institutions committed to developing, supporting, and teaching DSD. Foundational materials presented will include pedagogical materials and infrastructure developed and used in teaching DSD courses (by the organizers and participants) along with results and lessons learned. Long-range goals include: lowering adoption barriers by providing common pedagogical materials, validated collaboration infrastructure, and a pool of potential teaching partners from around the globe.
Participation
CTGDSD is not a mini-conference. Panelists briefly presented relevant content of their papers, but the emphasis was on discussion and group problem-solving and planning. Workshop participants discussed how they can contribute to community building, common infrastructure, and other assets for collaborative teaching of globally distributed software project courses.
