This course promotes and facilitates the collaborative learning approach in online courses. Students will participate in discussions as part of the assignments and receive feedback from the course instructor. The instructor provides materials, lectures, tests, and assignments that can be accessed at any time. Students “learn by doing” through the class exercises while lecture points are reinforced with class discussions and videos and “hands-on” integrated exercises, which lead students through the project management processes. Students are given a timeframe during which they need to complete the assigned activities, participate in discussion forums, and submit their exercises in order to receive a grade.
