Collaborative Teaching of Globally Distributed Software Development - Community Building Workshop (CTGDSD2)
CTGDSD is a one-day workshop associated with ICSE 2012, Saturday, June 9, 2012 in Zurich, Switzerland.
This is the second community building DSD workshop - the first workshop (CTGDSD1) was associated with ICSE 2011)
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.
How to Participate
CTGDSD is not a mini-conference. Panelists will briefly present relevant content of their papers, but the emphasis will be on discussion and group problem-solving and planning. Workshop participants should come prepared to discuss how they can contribute to community building, common infrastructure, or other assets for collaborative teaching of globally distributed software project courses. See the Program page for details on the workshop sessions.
