Abstract :
This paper describes a research program on the introduction of globally distributed teams into undergraduate software engineering courses. A pilot study, now completed, involved students at a single institution using two different virtual environments while cooperatively developing requirements artifacts in 3-person virtual teams. We describe the results of this pilot study and the plans for its extension to a three-year multi-institution, multi-culture, and multi-language setting.
