Stealing Time : Exploration in 24/7 Software Engineering Development

An authoritative guide that explores in depth the cultural, technological and methodological concerns to practice three-timezone (3TZ) e-learning in educational contexts.

This authoritative guide explores in depth the cultural, technological, and methodological concerns to practice three-timezone (3TZ) e-learning in educational contexts. It is important from a pedagogical and practical perspective to impart educational methods and tools that will enable students to be ready for the interconnected, cross-collaborative work environment advocated by modern business practice. The ''local is global'' paradigm provides the platform on which students can effectively build their knowledge repertoire through the interaction and exchange of project tasks among local/global teams, where the traditional barriers of time and location are no longer applicable. The situational and social learning dimensions gained from the explored issues covered in this book will provide a greater awareness to the reader for the need for teaching practice for the 3TZ enabled workforce.
