	abstract = {Learning is a critical capability for virtual group effectiveness. The objective of this study is to understand when learning occurs. Once we understand when learning occurs we are better able to stimulate learning to enhance the effectiveness of virtual groups. Additionally, understanding the nature of learning triggers and the results they produce informs how we may achieve desired learning outcomes. This study develops a framework to explain, and empirically studies, when learning occurs in virtual groups. The study employed a single, embedded, qualitative case study designed to study learning triggers in an Open Source Software project. Findings suggest that learning occurs ensuing learning triggers. Learning triggers vary in type and source. The type and source of learning triggers effects whether learning occurs in the group and the type of learning outcomes the trigger produces.},

	title = {Methods as Theories: Evidence and Arguments for Theorizing on Software Development},
	year = {2006},
	pages = {397 - 411},
	abstract = {In this paper we argue that software development methods represent theories on how best to engage the impressively complex and inherently socio-technical activity of making software. To help illustrate our points we draw on examples of three software
 methods: the waterfall approach, packaged software development, and free/libre and open source software development, In doing
 this, we highlight that software development methods reflect{\textemdash}too often implicitly{\textemdash}theories of (1) how people should behave,
 (2) how groups of people should interact, (3) the tasks that people should do, (4) the order of these tasks, (5) the tools
 needed to achieve these tasks, (6) the proper outcomes of these tasks, (7) the means to make this all happen, and (8) that
 these relations among concepts are further set in specific social, cultural, economic, and industrial contexts. We conclude
 by highlighting three trends in conceptualizing these eight elements.
