Planning and Project Management of an E-Learning Project

The success of your E-Learning initiative begins and ends with project management. E-Learning projects are more complex to manage than traditional learning projects because they involve technology and training. There’s more risk, more time constraints, more budget pressures, and more failures in communication.

By the end of this seminar you should be able to manage an E-Learning project so that it is:

• Effective
• Within budget
• On Time

Our Managing E-Learning Projects workshop will show you an adaptive and agile methodology for E-Learning projects that will help you prevent pitfalls commonly found in an E-Learning project. Topics covered include:

• Project charter and definition
• Creating communication and agreement between all stakeholders and resources
• Creating a high-accountability blueprint
• Risk management: how to know when trouble is imminent

This workshop will be taught by MicroAssist’s E-Learning Group. The MicroAssist E-Learning Group has over ten years of real world experience working with clients to create effective E-Learning projects.
