|
The paper provides an overview of a research study conducted over a period of one year as part of a three year project on
supporting global software development learning teams. Emphasis is given on the role of e-learning in supporting the
coordination, communication and collaboration in geographically dispersed learning teams. The paper describes how elearning
was used to facilitate teams from five different universities residing in US, UK, Turkey and Panama to work
towards a number of global software development pilot studies. The paper focuses on instructional design issues by
discussing the e-learning setting provided. Furthermore, the paper discusses key considerations relating to the projects
strategy towards collaborative learning and the design of e-learning tasks. |
