ABSTRACT
This paper reports on students’ experiences in a cooperative, virtual course in global software engineering. A hybrid course to teach global software engineering which was conducted collaboratively as a cooperation between two universities in Japan and Germany is described. Results of a course retrospective from the students’ point of view are presented. Lessons learned during the pandemic, such as online collaboration and agile project management, were shown to be advantageous even after the pandemic.
