摘要:Individuals interested in software development are joining Open Source Software (OSS) projects to learn how to develop software. OSS projects provide an experiential learning opportunity as learning occurs through the actual building of code. Also, OSS project are often globally distributed including members from a variety of countries. This makes OSS an especially suitable setting to prepare students for participating in global software development projects. This paper reports on findings from a study analyzing learning processes in OSS project and how these processes may serve as a training ground for Information Systems students.
