Continuous communication is one of the key success factors for
achieving triumph in any kind of group project. Google community, a free tool, is
making group communication fluid and affordable for all of us. We are always
staying ahead of our assigned tasks thanks to our capable project manager along
with other active and energetic team members. Weekly team meeting using
Google hangout session is both educating and enthusiastic thanks to active
participation of all the team members. Great to have our project (Catch &
Release) page (https://sites.google.com/site/catchandreleaseidtproject/home)
up and running. ‘About Us’ section of our site empowered us to write and edit a
short bio about each of us. Reading the first three chapter of Project Managing
E-learning helped me to understand the connections between ADDIE and IPECC models. ADDIE (Analyze, Design,
Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) model describe the instructional design tasks
that usually occur in each of the step of e-learning project management. While
there are many project management models, the book “Project Managing E-learning” strongly promotes the use of IPECC (Initiating, Planning, Executing,
Controlling, and Closing) model. Asking questions and learning from the Old
Timers is a unique and enlightening experience. Asking questions and answering
others’ questions among the peers on initiating project phase helped me to
think hard and understand project management concepts with much deeper
understanding. Finally, taking ‘learning team survey’ helped me to reflect on my
past performance and future commitment to deliver at the best possible way in
this team project.
I am working as the lead evaluator for this
project. We are primarily focusing on formative evaluation for this project. I
am reading and learning the conceptual theoretical knowledge on formative
evaluation in the context of e-learning development project. I plan to master
this skill to utilize in future e-course development project at my current job.
In team format, continuous communication is
essential to avoid misunderstanding and duplication of effort. Asking right and
timely question is another top priority. My group is doing a wonderful job through
Google community to always stay ahead of assigned tasks. Though I am active in
the community, I think, I can and should visit the Google community more
frequently.
Learning project management process and learning
how to work successfully in team set up are two of the essential skill sets for
any profession. To master these skill set one needs both pedagogical backbone
and practical experiences. I am optimistic that this course will help me to
master both of these skill set while I am certain that these skill set will
make me a better professional!
