EFFECTS OF MIGRATING LARGE-SCALED PROJECT GROUPS TO ONLINE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS

Abstract

This contribution presents challenges in a project-based course with large project groups, that have arisen through the Covid-19 pandemic. Traditionally, the course has been dependent on a larger number of physical meetings to coordinate the work, and to solve the task technically. However, the pandemic requires that work must be redirected to forms where students work online, physically distributed as much as possible. It is furthermore interesting to see the course in the core context of its main theme, that is, software engineering. Here, the pandemic actually has consequences on software engineering subjects, such as, choice of development methods. The course teachers (authors of this contribution) have especially observed this adjustment, and documentation is kept on how the students meet these new challenges through online discussions, and questionnaires.
