Abstract :
Group projects have been widely and successfully adopted within software engineering education. Their particular strength lies in giving students experience of real-world working practices. We report on initial experiences of extending software engineering group working to encompass cooperative working across multiple organisations. In particular, we report on a set of case studies involving the execution of selected software engineering tasks by distributed groups of students from three UK Universities
