The use of a project management tool in distance education to enhance students’ engagement in group work
Authors: Hela Hassen
Year: 2024

Group work is a widely embraced learning and assessment method that holds considerable importance in both in-person and online settings in higher education. However, group assignments introduce distinctive challenges, including unequal contributions, team conflict and divergent work ethics, leading to a pervasive reluctance among students to engage in university-level group work. Despite these concerns, group work continues to be a vital assessment approach for students, equipping them with essential skills for professional environments that prioritise teamwork and collaboration. In this opinion piece, I explore students' reluctance to engage in group work and introduce strategies and tools to transform unproductive group work into a collaborative learning experience. The discussion outlines implications for academics and learning developers, contributing to the ongoing discourse on collaborative tools in higher education assessments. With a primary focus on the challenges faced by distance-learning students, the opinion piece delves into the potential of Trello, a collaborative project management tool, to address these challenges and enhance collaborative learning in distance education. Its purpose is threefold: (1) enhance academics’ understanding of students’ reluctance to engage in group work, (2) enrich the experience of distance-learning students by highlighting the multifaceted benefits of collaborative learning in their educational journey that extend beyond traditional classroom boundaries and (3) propose innovative solutions to educators for fostering a culture of collaboration for more effective group work.

PURPOSE
The recent introduction of a project management office (PMO) in a major healthcare center, led by a nurse, provides a unique opportunity to understand how a PMO facilitates successful implementation of evidence-based practices in care delivery.


DESIGN
A case study with embedded units (individuals, projects, and organization). In this study, the case is operationally defined as the PMO deployed in a Canadian healthcare center.


METHODS
The sources of evidence used in this study were diverse. They consisted of 38 individual interviews, internal documents, and administrative data. The data were collected from March 2009 to November 2011. Content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data.


FINDINGS
PMO experts help improve practices, and the patients thus receive safer and better quality care. Several participants point out that they could not make the changes without the PMO's support. They mention that they succeeded in changing their practices based on the evidence and acquired knowledge of change management with the PMO members that can be transferred to their practice.


CONCLUSIONS
With the leadership of the nurse director of the PMO, members provide a range of expertise and fields in evidence-based change management, project management, and evaluation.


CLINICAL RELEVANCE
PMO facilitates the implementation of clinical and organizational practices based on evidence to improve the quality and safety of care provided to patients.
Using a Soft Systems Methodology framework to guide the conceptual modeling process in discrete event simulation
Authors: J. A. B. Montevechi; J. Friend
Year: 2012

Conceptual modeling (CM) for simulation has traditionally been described as a highly qualitative process which is difficult to define. Previous articles have investigated the use of Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), a problem structuring method, in healthcare simulation studies in order to define general system understanding, study objectives, and model content. However, no article has proposed the use of SSM in order to guide all CM phases. This article presents a theoretical discussion involving SSM in simulation and discussion on the methodology's knowledge acquisition capabilities and contributes to simulation literature by proposing a step-by-step SSM-CM approach, based on a combination of previously established SSM-CM techniques from scientific literature, in order to guide all conceptual modeling phases. A SSM view to simulation project management is provided, which may help simulation practitioners to structure project activities while also identifying good CM practices.

Providing online access to historical newspaper content is a strategic priority for many libraries. As early adopters in hosting an in-house newspaper repository for its own scanned newspapers, Penn State University’s online collection has grown substantially. New systems become necessary over time, however, due to system obsolescence, infrequent vendor upgrades, and maintenance and user needs. This was the case when the University Libraries adopted the open-source “Open ONI” platform in creating its Pennsylvania Newspaper Archive (http://panewsarchive.psu.edu), replacing its aging Olive Software ActivePaper Archive™ system. This paper chronicles the planning and design phases of the project, the adoption of the “Agile Scrum” project management framework, and the migration processes developed to transfer 450,000 pages of historical legacy newspaper content from a commercial system to an open-source system hosted in-house.

 A water conservancy project for the construction of foundation engineering is indispensable. Its development is very important to ensure the quality of the construction level and management and to ensure that the construction of water conservancy projects works in the direction of automation. The present water conservancy project construction and management is inefficient, hydrology prediction errors are prevalent, and the utilization rate of water resources is low. To address these issues, this paper will apply data mining technology and intelligent information technology in water conservancy project management. This helps to study better the construction and management of water conservancy projects. By employing data mining techniques, valuable data from water conservancy projects will be extracted and analyzed. The first step involves gathering the relevant data from the projects and subjecting it to data mining processes. Through careful analysis and evaluation of the data, we can predict the runoff in the reservoir hydrology of Area A. Experimental results demonstrate that utilizing data mining techniques to predict the runoff of Reservoir A from January to December 2020 yielded a difference of 3.44% between the maximum and minimum values. Furthermore, employing machine learning techniques for prediction resulted in a variation in the prediction error rate of 6.2%. The use of data mining technology can improve the efficiency of water conservancy project construction and management, and improve the utilization rate of the project.

In these times of great changes, managing software projects effectively is a big challenge and it is increasingly more difficult to find skilled professionals. This paper presents the Project Management Game 2D (PMG-2D), an educational serious game that aims to assist inexperienced software project managers to be trained, considering cost, time, risk and human resources management areas. The PMG-2D simulates a real software development environment where the player, acting as a project manager, goes through all basic phases of a software project lifecycle. There are many roles in the team that have to be managed, and the members have different personalities in order to challenge the player when dealing with people and their conflicts and performance, among other characteristics. The mechanism implemented to control the character's personalities is based on the theory of the Five Big Factors, described by the lexical method conceived in the Psychology area. The evaluation was conducted within the context of a software engineering continuing education course, and 25 participants have played the game and answered a questionnaire. When analyzing the results, it was possible to find evidence that the game, besides assisting the project management training, stimulates the player to learn more about it.

Client Influence on IT Outsourcing Vendors' Operational Capabilities: A Relationship Learning Perspective
Authors: Fangjie Su; Jiye Mao
Year: 2013

Operational capabilities are essential for any business in today’s highly competitive environment. Whereas prior research on IT outsourcing vendors’ operational capabilities has examined internal mechanisms, little is known about the effect of clients. This study focuses on clients’ influence based on multiple cases drawn from the Japan-China IT outsourcing context. What is unique about this context is that the majority of Japanese clients are large mature IT vendors themselves. As a result, the clients play a “teacher” role for the vendors, which emphasize a strong client orientation. From a relationship learning perspective, this study shows that client characteristics, i.e., the purpose of outsourcing, level of project management maturity, and sustainability and length of projects, contribute to vendors’ development of operational capabilities.

Year: 2019

Abstract The selection and planning of technical projects is an important and challenging investment decision for companies as significant amount of capital is often involved. With the growing complexity and scale, managing technical research projects and technology roadmap (TRM) are greatly affected by uncertainties than ever before. However, existing approaches for addressing these problems are restricted to deterministic environments. In this study, a general methodology based on graph theory and mathematical programming for R&D projects planning subject to uncertainty is proposed to maximize profit and to find precedence relations according to technological trends for given budgets and time. We first put forward a new graph model and its mathematical definition to represent the relations among technologies. The network contains nodes to represent technologies and edges to denote feasible paths between two technology nodes. To deal with uncertainty, a network-based novel robust optimization model as well as a chance constrained model is developed. Finally, we apply the proposed model and solution approach to the TRM of Smart Home industry. The numerical study shows that the proposed method can effectively and efficiently solve the optimization problems for technical project planning, path designing, and project management, under uncertainty.
