A software engineering class where students are required to work on a significant project involving teams at other locations is one of most realistic ways to introduce students to the issues arising from Global Software Development, and the techniques used to deal with those issues. However, organizing and running such a class is a significant undertaking that requires a great deal of effort on the part of the instructor, over and above what is normally required for a project class. Also, GSD becomes the focus of such a class, which may not always be practical.
