CTGDSD 2012 - International Workshop on Collaborative Teaching of Globally Distributed Software Development - Community Building Workshop (CTGDSD2)

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, students, 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 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.
This year's workshop will also focus on opportunities for collaborative research in DSD. Attendees are invited to submit and share their ideas for working with community members or exploiting common resources to support ne research.
