Consequently, the scientific and large-scale information processing communities are increasingly interested in studying large-scale distributed systems, such as Grid-based ones. Unfortunately, there are relatively few reports on best practices in teaching Grid topics that teachers can follow when they start building a new Grid-related course. The second installment of this two-part department presents a case study of the author’s experiences in teaching Grid computing to PhD students over the last three years. rv:
