Whatever your role in a project, it is important that you are familiar with best practices in project management so that you can effectively participate in the project work and increase the likelihood of project success.
This course is designed to provide project participants with the knowledge and practice in using a flexible, efficient ten-step process. This process maps to best practice models and an international project management standard which focus on five key areas: Project Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitoring & Control, and Close-out.
Participants apply techniques for gathering, analyzing, and communicating essential information specific to each step. Working in small teams, participants practice project definition and planning techniques on projects they select at the beginning of the workshop.
No prerequisite is required to participate in this module; you do not need to be enrolled in the whole program to register for this module.
Participants have told us they sometimes find the practicum process challenging. In response, we've developed a quick 2 hour session to help you get started.
During this 2-hour session, you will complete a draft proposal for your practicum. Louise Grummitt and Chris Hutcheson, MCATD practicum assessors, will work with you to select the practicum option that best supports your personal learning goals, generate ideas and select a topic and group of learners, write your practicum proposal and commit to a date for completing your practicum.

During this session you'll design and build e-learning using PowerPoint based, rapid e-learning tools, including Articulate Presenter/Professional Suite, and Lectora Snap! You’ll start by completing a short e-learning course to prepare for the module. Then, during the first day, you’ll design and develop storyboards for a course, and record the audio. The morning of the second day, you’ll build the course, supported by experienced coaches. That afternoon, you’ll scope and design a second, more complex course, which you’ll storyboard and build on the third day. Once again, you’ll be supported by coaches with expertise using rapid e-learning tools. Throughout the three days, the facilitators will share their extensive experience, along with samples of their recent award-winning work.
