Both advantages (e.g., increased efficiency, knowledge sharing, etc.) anddisadvantages (e.g., extra coordination efforts, lack of trust, etc.) of the globally distributedteams have been widely discussed by many previous studies [5-6].One of the many goals of engineering education is to create a learning environment in whichstudents can obtain some “real world” experience which make them more prepared for theengineering practice in industry. Therefore, it is important to provide engineering students withsome virtual collaboration experience being situated in the globally distributed teams.
