Planning / Scoping e-learning
This resource was developed by the 2002 LearnScope "Educational Design for E-learning" team based at OTEN NSW. Many thanks to the team for contributing this resource to the community.
Purpose: This document provides a Project Manager with a set of considerations to be addressed (ideally at an initial project planning meeting attended by all project team members and stakeholders) required to inform the planning or initiation and specifications phases (see project management methodology) of an e-learning/online project. The outcomes of the discussion should be fed into a planning/scoping document (see “Proforma for Planning/Scoping an E-learning Project”) and lead to a shared understanding of the basic information underpinning the project as well as stakeholder agreement and commitment.
Assumptions: The project is externally funded and involves a joint and collaborative effort of partnering Institutes and the applicable Educational Services Division. As such it is ideally suited to TAFE Connect and ANTA Toolbox project preparations.
