Required Assignments: Participation This is a seminar course, implying active engagement in discussions and other class activities. Participation includes completing pre-class readings, online exercises, and participating substantively in online discussions. You should expect to participate in one or more online discussions focused on applying concepts derived from the weekly topic. The agenda for each class session will clearly identify required activities for a given week. Participating in weekly discussion on the class discussion board includes both responding to the posed discussion questions in a substantive way and commenting on the responses of other participants. Again, this participation is not graded, but is required to receive credit for being in class that week. Each week you will need to make one original post, and respond to at least two of your classmates postings. Team Contract Before you are allowed to work as a team on your semester project, you will be required to work on, and have a team contract approved before you begin your collaborative coursework. The team contract will ensure that every team member is on the same page, work responsibilities are delineated and mechanisms for remedies for issues that arise are in place. It is good practice, before any teamwork begins, to have the ground rules set, the lines of communication defined, and remedies or corrective mechanisms in place. Case Analyses Throughout the semester there will be various Case Analyses available. Each team is responsible for completing selecting one case to analyze. Each team will have 3 deliverables for the case that they work on: One case analysis report. This case analysis will be submitted to the instructor for grading. If you cite information you need to use proper APA style. One quick (10 minute) streaming presentation that serves as an executive summary of your report. This streaming video will be posted on Blackboard for your classmates to see. This presentation will serve as a way to get discussion Updated: June, 26 2012 This Project Management Course Syllabus by Apostolos Koutropoulos is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

about the case started, as well as a way to let your classmates know your findings and analysis. Facilitation of a weekly discussion. The team that analyzes the case for a given week is responsible for moderating, and driving, the discussion around the case. Your classmates will have read the case as well, so it is your responsibility to prepare questions and techniques to foster discussion around the case. Please see bibliography for resources on discussion board moderation. Even though only one team is writing an analysis, everyone in the class is expected to read and be able to contribute to the discussion of the case. Semester Project (part I) This part of your semester project will include the following parts: The basic scope of the project your will be managing An assessment of the feasibility of your project An initial listing of deliverables (as complete as possible) for your PM project An initial listing of project stakeholders An initial business case An initial SWOT analysis A project charter Once you complete the first part of your semester project, you will receive feedback, and you should use this feedback to feed into the improvement of your final deliverable (Semester Project part II) Semester Project (part II) This will be your final course deliverable. This will be a complete project management report, which will include, but is not limited to: An executive summary The business case A stakeholder analysis A project charter A description of scope and a WBS A complete SWOT analysis A plan for dealing with risks Financial estimations of cost & budgeting Project scheduling (Gantt chart) A critical path analysis A project quality checklist Final Presentation This final presentation will take place on the final day(s) of class (depending on how many people are presenting and time allotments). This final week is all about putting it all together. In this presentation you will be presenting, to the class, your semester project (both parts), including (but not limited to) the project at hand, the stakeholders, the WBS, the timeline for completion, costs associated with the project, and any issues that you Updated: June, 26 2012 This Project Management Course Syllabus by Apostolos Koutropoulos is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

expect to arise. This deliverable is due to the instructor via Blackboard (see calendar for date). Your presentation can use any technology your team wishes to use, so long as it includes both visuals and audio voiceover. Your presentation needs to be in a streaming format so that your fellow learners do not need to download it in order to play it back. Your presentation should be no more than 20 minutes; and you can have your presentation be multiple parts (i.e. four parts, each being 5 minutes long) just remember, each part needs to flow neatly from one to the other.

Course Policies: Attendance You are required to attend every course session for this class. If you participate at any point during the week online, you will be counted as having attended class that week. Participation Participation presupposes attendance. If you dont attend you cant participate in class. Participation includes completing all required reading and writing assignments prior to participating in discussions and thus thoughtfully participating in discussions, and taking responsibility for helping create a positive learning situation by arriving promptly, listening respectfully, and participating constructively. Group Work The semester project is going to be group based. Like most project management plans, you cant go at it alone. In order to facilitate the group process: o let me know in advance of your intentions to collaborate [first 2 weeks of the semester] in other words, whos in which group. You will be self-forming groups. o you create a team contract to show me that you have defined the parameters of your partnership, who does what, in what time frame, and what remedies you will have in place if conflicts arise. I can provide you with a template for a team contract. o you agree to evaluate (anonymously) the work of your group peers, and agree to receive anonymous evaluation from your group peers, upon completion of work. Your team grade will only be a team grade if everyone agrees that work was distributed equally. I will provide you with a rubric to grade your peers.

Late Work Late work for full credit will be accepted only if its late due to demonstrable unforeseen circumstances such as a medical or family emergency. Late work is due within two weeks of due date, no later. Work turned in late, without extenuating circumstances will drop half a grade for every day its late. Collegiality It is expected that work will be turned in on time. Feedback is available from the instructor, provided that you give adequate time (at least a weeks notice) to the instructor for this feedback request. At times debate in class could get heated. If you disagree with someone, please do it in a respectful manner and if in the end you cant agree, then you agree to disagree. Disrespectful language is not an option. For additional information see Core Netiquette Rules: http://www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html Course Social Traditionally online courses have contained a course caf discussion forum where non-course social conversations could take place. Our program has an online community for current students and alumni at http://www.umassid.com. I encourage you to use this space for socializing with classmates, as well as other students and alumni. This is also a good space to ask for advice, ask fellow instructional designers to take surveys that you create, and a place to find and post news (and jobs) pertaining to instructional design, educational technology, teaching and learning.

Grading
Grading: This course is designed to help everyone succeed and get the most out of research methodologies and research analysis. Weekly discussions (online and in-class) are ungraded -- simply complete them all and 20% of your grade is an "A." The following scale is used for final grading: Grade type for the course is a whole or partial letter grade. (Please see table below) Note: the lowest passing grade for a graduate student is a C. Grades lower than a C that are submitted by faculty will automatically be recorded as an F. Please see the Graduate Bulletin for more detailed information on the Universitys grading policy.

Methods of Instruction
This course Project Management is a designed for an online environment. Taking a course online is a different type of experience from meeting face-to-face each week, and the activities of the class will reflect these differences. This course is divided into sessions, each of which will run for one week. Each new session begins on Monday at 6:00 AM EST. Any work due during a previous session must be submitted BEFORE that time. Sessions will be available one or two weeks in advance, so that you can be prepared for upcoming modules and get a head start if youd like. Keeping up with the work is one of the keys and challenges to being a successful graduate student; and this course does require more readings that the typical instructional design course. Typically, students should plan to spend on average approximately 9-12 hours each week completing the activities outside of class for each session (3 hours per credit). This means that youd spend 3 hours in Blackboard in-class per week, so you can expect to spend 12-15 hours per week doing readings, preparing work and presentations, and participating online in the fora. Weekly work may include the following activities: Listening to a brief module introductory lecture; Readings from the course textbooks; Additional research article readings; Visiting websites with Project Management Information; Experimenting with technologies that facilitate project management; Completing case analyses. These tasks may include Internet research, working with a case study, peer-reviewing another student's work and providing feedback, or working on a piece of your semester project. These assignments will not be graded, but you must complete them to receive credit forbeing in class that week. In addition to these weekly activities, each group of students will use complete a semester project consisting of a project management plan.

Accommodations
Section 504, 508 and the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 offer guidelines for curriculum modifications and adaptations for students with documented disabilities. If applicable, you may obtain adaptation recommendations from the UMass Boston Ross Center (508-287-7430. You need to present and discuss these recommendations with me within a reasonable period, prior to the end of the Drop/Add period. You are advised to retain a copy of this syllabus in your personal files for use when applying for future degrees, certification, licensure, or transfer of credit.

Code of Student Conduct
Students are required to adhere to the Code of Student Conduct, including requirements for the Academic Honesty Policy, delineated in the University of Massachusetts Boston Graduate Studies Bulletin and relevant program student handbook(s). http://media.umassp.edu/massedu/policy/3-08%20UMB%20Code%20of%20Conduct.pdf You are encouraged to visit and review the UMass website on Correct Citation and Avoiding Plagiarism: http://umb.libguides.com/GradStudiesCitations

Other Pertinent and Important Information


Writing Style: Everything in this course (except discussion posts) should be written following the Style Guide of the American Psychological Association (APA). This format is the academic standard among social scientists in the United States. As such, you should be able to write in this format as a graduate student in Education, and especially if you plan to pursue additional post-graduate studies. Your professional writing in the instructional design profession may not follow APA style,but part of your graduate education in the Instructional Design program is to learn how to communicate to a variety of audiences both formal and informal. Learning how to write following these guidelines will help you demonstrate excellent written communication skills to your own future stakeholders. In addition to the APA Style Manual (required readings) you can find many excellent resources to help you learn APA Style; A good bootcamp overview for APA is provided by Purdues Online Writing Lab: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/10/

Assignment Submissions:

All assignment submissions will be through using Google Docs. Google Docs doesnt have as many features as Microsoft Word, but it was what you need to complete your assignments. The reason we are using Google Docs is because as a program it provides a better platform for collaboration and for providing comments and feedback. This syllabus is subject to change throughout the semester due to emergent student needs, important new learning opportunities, guest speakers, inclement weather, or other unforeseen situations. In the event a change must be made, I will notify you as soon as practically possible, and provide an updated syllabus on our course website.
