A Symbiosis between Instructional Systems Design and Project Management
Pan, Cheng-Chang
Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology, v38 n1 Win 2012
This study is intended to explore a complementary relationship between instructional systems design (ISD) and project management in an attempt to build a plausible case for integrating project management as a distinct course in the core of the graduate instructional systems design programs. It is argued that ISD and project management should form a symbiosis from a curriculum perspective, in a hope for the prepared instructional designers to create values for customers. An integrated view of ISD and project management is proposed, using three concepts of project management as a reasonable bridge for the integration. Challenges for the proposed view in this position paper are also stated. (Contains 1 figure and 2 footnotes.)
