This paper has two objectives: discussing how to teach eXtreme Programming (XP) and how to teach it remotely as a way to enlarge critically small departments. We show how to teach XP using class projects. We also discuss some of the problems brought to effective distance education by this method and their solutions. We essentially find in this case study that XP can be studied remotely and that distance education can be used to "staff" software engineering programs. This paper tries to attack two problems: shortcomings in the teaching of Agile Methods and shortages of software engineering staff.
