Training students to work in a distributed research group
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of teaching students to cooperatively solve scientific problems. To simulate a situation in which researchers based in different cities or even countries work jointly on a project, students were offered to interact only through their Google Group. Methodology of teaching students to cooperate in distributed teams, which was proposed by the authors, may be used to evaluate the scientific potential and leadership abilities of every student
