Project Management & Implementation in eLearning

Gathering Content

This phase is a research stage that will gather all information, resources, material and determine gap to design

solution and prepare to eliminate and reduce the gap that might be the risk to the project progress. All the content

that been collected must be aligns to the concept and project goals. The team needs to share the material and

information that will be the project content to the client to get approval and sign off before procee.

Instructional Design

The next step in order to implement project management in eLearning is to determine the instructional strategy.

The team must have a good communication with client along the process and give the client to take part in

deciding what kind of instructional strategy they want to achieve. There might be game-based learning, scenario-

based learning, story-based learning or even simulations. The idea could be demonstrate to the client to give

more understanding on each instructional concept and ideas. The demonstration includes the content,

multimedia element and related element to the learning goals. This demonstration will be the blueprint and

reference of the project.

Storyboarding

Storyboarding is one of the phases that enable project team to keep the idea and flow on track during production

phase. This phase should be shown to the client to get clear ideas on what to expect once the project have been

completed. Scripts and voice over dialogue should be including in the storyboard with the sample of voice talent

portfolio for client to approve. The project could be start once the client approve every single phase during these

process with the signed off document.

Development & Production

In order to give the client more realistic idea on current progress during this phase, prototype can be used as one

of the tools to deliver the look and feel of the entire project. The prototype should have a few choices for client to

choose such as color schemes, graphics and characters, photos, and animation concept. This is the part that

important before proceed with production of eLearning project. The client needs to sign off this phase before the

team can proceed to develop and produce.

Quality Assurance

This phase is involving 2 version of project that need to be tested. Alpha version is the version that runs through

by management or stakeholders and client. Ammendment could be made in this version to proceed to Beta

version that tested by the real user. This phase normally called as user testing phase in actual project. Feedback

will be collected to improve the project.

Integration & Delivery

In this final phase, the project can be upload or loaded into platform that can be use to deliver the content to the

actual user. It might be provided as a one-off delivery or downloadable version through the platform.
