Course Project: Facilitating Distance Learning

Course Project Assignment: Online Orientation Program-Project Management Certification Course

Scenario 3: An online, fully asynchronous project management certification course. Trainees will be expected to view interactive media presentations and complete online assessments. Students will also be expected to regularly participate in an asynchronous question and answer forum. Asynchronous discussions could be delivered in either a CMS or a Web 2.0 tool, such as a wiki.

During the process of developing this orientation project, I learned that project management certification courses are becoming a requirement for project managers to earn the credential in the job market.  The certification proves that the education and competency to lead and direct projects that have been acquired through experience and educational training. Employers are seeking candidates that have project management certifications because it is gives a financial and technical advantage, globally recognized and in high demand in the business arena.

The highlights of my research were learning about  what learning management and computer management system are and the similarities/differences and how to use them in the educational and workplace environments,  technological tools, and the importance of knowing how to use them to the advantage in the workplace.  Learning about the websites like Learning Express Library that is a Michigan eLibrary that uses only scholarly and authentic resource that have educational and business information that are out there that are resourceful and offer free tutorials for those who are beginners, intermediate and advance computer literate.  

EDU 2.0 is the computer management system I chose to use for my online orientation site and I have some likes and dislikes about the system.  I had no knowledge of the purpose, how to operate this site but I learned to navigate through the system and was disappointed because I could not get the desirable visual I wanted. Overall, my experience was enlightened by learning about the valuable information that is available to use for educational and business purposes.
