Abstract

The teaching and training of Global Software Development (GSD) entails several well-known difficulties, of which the problem of establishing environments in which students can learn by practicing in realistic scenarios is commonly reported. In this paper we propose an educational framework that uses simulation to train future participants to confront the principal problems encountered in GSD (cultural, language and communication problems). Our framework therefore provides support for the design of these simulations by means of a tool that trains its users in the typical problems that may occur during interactions between distributed members. The simulations place learners in realistic GSD scenarios in which they will interact with virtual participants, thus permitting them to confront the collaborative, organizational and technical problems of GSD.
