Reviews & Statements

Specialists in instructional design and related areas of education and technology present 18 case studies of educational technology projects conducted in elementary and secondary schools, higher education, healthcare, business, government, and military settings throughout the anglophone world. They use a project management framework, though the projects themselves vary widely in the degree to which formal project management processes and tools were used. Among the topics are producing learning resources for studying information technology with limited project management capacity, project management methods for implementing an online faculty development course, an integrated management approach in a higher education technology support unit, a blended learning approach to refresher training in clinical psychology supervision, and implementing simulators to facilitate learning for initial entry soldiers.
