The evaluation of educational approaches is frequently challenging as it involves humans and requires the consideration of several angles depending on the educational objectives. On occasions, these objectives involve academic and industrial environments, thus implying additional challenges. Education in Global Software Development (GSD) has recently became important for companies that offer GSD training...
Universities are starting to offer courses in Global Software Development (GSD) as a way to prepare future practitioners for challenges found in organizational settings. Companies also provide GSD training especially to new recruits who might lack skills in how to effectively communicate with people from different cultures and different first languages. However this training is costly and not necessarily...
The need for universities to provide their students with theoretical lessons and practical training in GSD has led to the development of new training schemes. Most of these consist of involving distant students from different cultures in the development of software projects in order to allow them to confront similar problems to those that occur in real environments. This, however, is not always possible...
In recent years, the evolution of Global Software Development (GSD) has grown both rapidly and significantly, and although the efficiency of this new type of development has been proven, some challenging issues must still be confronted. Of all these, our research line is focused on designing the specific training that members of virtual teams must receive. Universities and companies therefore need...
Global Software Development (GSD) is a recent trend that allows team members to be located on different remote sites, thus forming a network of virtual teams working on the same projects which confront the typical problems caused by distance. The stakeholders involved in the project must be trained to deal with communication difficulties such as those related to cultural and language differences or...
In recent years, the application of Global Software Development (GSD) has grown significantly and its efficiency has been proven. However the collaboration between distant members is not always easy and some challenging issues must be confronted. The main problems are related with the communication with distant members, especially when cultural and language differences appear. Members involved in...
The typical problems of the requirements elicitation stage increase when stakeholders are working on a Global software Development project. In order to fulfil the challenge of successfully carrying out the requirements elicitation process in a GSD environment, requirements specialists need suitable preparation. An improvement in this preparation necessitates an update of the contents, techniques and...
