In this work, based on the results obtained concerning the analysis and the needs of our project which concerns the design and development of an e-Learning project management system, we present the modeling stage with UML. Based on one hand, on two diagrams: class diagram and use case diagram, for static modeling and on the other hand, based on three diagrams: activity diagram, sequence diagram, diagram transition state for dynamic modeling. Finally, we offer examples of models for our project.

More frequently, universities and corporations are faced with the challenge of having e-learning courses translated into other languages for learners in other countries or for specialized groups. However, the translation process, especially for e-learning, requires several considerations before spending those dollars. In this resource chapter, a translation industry professional, experienced with quoting translation bids, offers tips on how to prepare content for translation and what to consider with respect to translating typical e-learning components, like video, voice over, etc. The author orients you to the project management side of translation - so you know what to expect from your language service provider (LSP), when, and why - and shares best practices that help you avoid common mistakes like trying to ‘do it yourself’.

The chapter presents a study made in order to find out how the e-learning experience enhances the social presence in the community of practice. The study was carried out for the online master degree programme in project management, delivered by the Academy of Economic Studies, Bucharest. The main research method was a survey and the research instrument was a questionnaire. Statistics and data mining were applied. Statistics was applied to check hypothesis and quantify the correlation significance. Due to the large number of the variables and the indirect relationships, the analysis paths become very complex and it would be extremely difficult to manage the analysis workflow. So, the data mining approach was chosen. As a theoretical framework and analytical perspective for this research, Wenger’s theories of learning in Community of practice (CoP), and the social presence model of Garisson et al., are applied. The study revealed that the characteristics of the online social presence in learning environments enhanced the students’ interest for CoPs. Another finding of this study is that for project management area there is not a significant correlation between the learning domain and that of the CoPs chosen to get involved. The reason is that most of the project personnel hold a first degree in an area other than project management.

La certificación Project Management Professional (PMP) permite a una persona desempeñar su labor y ser reconocida como directora profesional de proyectos; sirve para demostrar a empleadores, clientes y profesionales en un área, que se tiene el conocimiento, la experiencia y las habilidades necesarias para dirigir proyectos y lograr resultados satisfactorios. Este artículo tiene como objetivo desarrollar un sistema tutorial de aprendizaje para dispositivos móviles que sirva como herramienta de preparación a todos los aspirantes a la certificación PMP otorgada por el Project Management Institute (PMI).Gracias a las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), en la actualidad existen numerosas herramientas y estrategias de enseñanza que involucran el uso de recursos electrónicos y digitales (M-learning, B-learning, E-learning, etc.) para dinamizar y hacer más efectivos los procesos de enseñanza–aprendizaje. Con el desarrollo de este trabajo se concluye que los sistemas tutoriados (ST) facilitan el proceso de aprendizaje y permiten transformar el modelo educativo tradicional en un modelo versátil, flexible y didáctico.

A universal definition—much less an understanding—of project management maturity and its achievement does not exist. The issue raises many questions, and a review reveals inconsistencies. One is the disconnect between the use of prescriptive models relying on highly defined processes to measure capabilities that manage projects with undefined elements. Universities represent an organizational model on their own unique path toward project management maturity. Over the last decade, they have—as part of a larger trend where specialized management techniques are being adopted (such as strategic planning and business process re-engineering)—embraced project management practices in an attempt to apply a greater degree of planning and coordination to teaching and learning strategies. The management of e-learning projects has been directly affected by such developments and is presented here as representative of a reliable project management capability using non-process factors. This chapter explores these issues.

The Internet is a revolutionary development of dimensions equivalent to those of the Industrial Revolution. All aspects of life are being radically influenced by this, sectors are being re-structured, professions are being re-defined, and modes of handling business, economy, education, public administration, politics, entertainment, and culture are being changed. Inclusion of the internet in the education technologies has led to radical changes in both formal education and also in remote education. E-learning, instructional design, and project management are three important concepts of increasing significance. In this chapter, the cost estimations aimed for the preparation of project management plans of e-learning systems, including education design, are discussed. Cost estimations aimed for project management, cost management, e-learning, education design, organization characteristics of e-learning systems, issues to be taken into consideration in e-learning project management, and preparation of e-learning project management plan preparation are made. The economic impacts of e-learning instructional design project management are discussed.

E-learning promises to improve the learning process through the application of technology, including portal technology. Portals can provide the personalisation and interactivity functionality that e-learning requires. However, the long-held promise that technology will improve learning has often failed to deliver. This paper examines the promise of this technology and compares the specific demands of e-learning to the actual capability of portals and the underpinning Internet and World Wide Web. It then identifies four “costs” of using technology for e-learning, and points to existing project management tools that may minimise the effect of these “costs”.
