Abstract
This paper describes the detailed structure of a Virtual Organization (VO) course, currently being taught as part of undergraduate and Master programs in Computer Science at the Costa Rican Institute of Technology. The course focuses on IT issues and concrete applications of the VO paradigm, and follows a combined theoretical/practical approach with research activities as the base of the learning process.
