Abstract

Software engineering education is most often complemented by a software engineeringproject where a team of students has to develop a large software system. At a distance teaching university such projects challenge the students in communication, coordination, and collaboration, because team members work in different places, many miles away from each other. We present an ECLIPSE-based unified platform that leverages available tools and solutions and discuss the problems involved. Besides using plug-ins that support the students during implementation, our platform integrates a collaborative distant education environment and a software project management system that eases the studentsý collaboration in the software engineering project.
