چکیده
Virtual enterprises can be characterized as cooperations of independent institutions, which contribute their core competencies towards a common goal and benefit from reduced hierarchical and organizational structures. Such cooperations are made possible by extensive use of modern communication and information technology. Up to now, the idea of virtual enterprises has been used in commercial environments. We think, however, that it also has important applications in the context of university teaching and research, leading to virtual universities, colleges and institutes. During the last year, we have successively introduced characteristics of a virtual institute at our department, both for research and teaching purposes. In this paper we will concentrate on the teaching aspects, based on our experiences with a two semester course “Introduction to Computer Science and Programming”.
