Educational cooperation across countries by shared course materials: More than 10 years of experience

At the beginning of the new century, we started with an educational project aimed at the joint development and shared use of teaching materials for software engineering education. The aim was to transfer knowledge, as well as to save expenses. Over the years, our cooperation did not only cover the development of the course, but also its delivery, e.g. by guest lecturing. This paper reports on the experience gained in a multi-country project. Both success factors and problems are outlined.
