Virtual Laboratories to Support Software Development Teams

小行星9452594 高级水平的多学期团队软件开发项目的“现实世界”的问题提供了不可估量的丰富的学习经验。然而，对于通勤、工作以支付教育费用和/或身体残疾的贫困和中产阶级城市学生来说，学生团队在寻找见面机会时遇到的常见问题更加严重。目前基于计算机的实验室可供学生软件开发团队在几个主要方面是不够的：有限的可用性;限制学生访问客户端/服务器功能，以防止意外的学生造成的故障的共同实验室;不能支持团队的努力在校外的工作场所;团队讨论干扰，或被禁止，其他学生使用同一个共同的实验室。采用先进技术的“虚拟实验室”建议提供灵活、便携的局域网和有效的协作软件，为软件开发团队提供任何时间/任何地点的实验室支持。 这种方法将从根本上改变团队软件开发的教学方式。

9452594 Nosek Senior level multi-semester team software development projects of "real-world" problems provide inestimable rich learning experiences. However, the usual problems that student teams encounter in finding opportunities to meet are exacerbated for poor and middle class urban students who commute, work to pay for educational expenses, and/or are physically challenged. Current computer-based laboratories available for student software development teams are inadequate in several major ways: limited availability; restrictions on student access to client/server functions to prevent inadvertent student-caused failure of the common laboratory; can't support team efforts at off-campus work sites; team discussion interferes with, or are inhibited by, other students using the same common laboratory. "Virtual laboratories" using leading edge technologies are proposed to provide flexible, portable LANs with effective collaborative software to provide any time/any place laboratory support for software development teams. This approach will fundamentally alter the way team software development is taught.
