Abstract

Teaching students about Globally Distributed Software Development (GDSD) is becoming increasingly important as a significant percentage of current projects are being developed by globally distributed teams. We discuss the pedagogical infrastructure used to teach GDSD at DePaul University and its partner institutions. We cover the educational, technical and institutional challenges that need to be resolved in order to successfully partner with globally distributed teaching institutions in order to teach GDSD in a realistic environment.
