Group Virtual Teams Project Page

An important part of the activity of programming and IT professionals is working in an international context. To prepare for this type of working environment the IT programme includes the Runestone Project as a part of the course Datorsystem II. Experience of working in an international environment includes several important aspects. This project provides fundamental experience in communication and collaboration in a multi-time zone and multi-cultural context.

As the course progresses additional information will appear on this page.
