- W638356548 abstract "The conventional view of project management is challenged by a contemporaryconstruction industry that is rethinking its processes and procedures as it seeks to alignitself with clients' business needs. Project managers must update their skills. Theyrequire flexible education and training that complements work place experience ratherthan distracts from professional obligations. Educational technology offers an excitingopportunity to accommodate these, often conflicting, requirements. Computer-aidedlearning (CAL) is supported by a government keen to promote a Learning Society, theexpansion of Higher Education (HE) postgraduate provision and the constructionindustry's own initiatives to engender a culture of lifelong learning. Enthusiasts arguethat CAL provides greater access, enhances quality and overcomes the inherentdisadvantages of distance learning. Yet the apparent eagerness to develop innovativeCAL applications is not evidenced in an educational survey of built environmentpostgraduate course provision. On the contrary, only small pockets of CAL activityare available.A new distance learning project management educational software application(DIMEPM) is developed and compared with a traditional multiple media resource anda well-established postgraduate module delivered in part-time mode. The design ofDIMEPM draws on the expertise of experienced practitioners in HE and the views ofleading academics in the field. Qualitative and quantitative approaches are employedin a longitudinal evaluation that assesses the relative learning gains, student attitudeand confidence of HE students. And, in order to gain reaction from industry, DIMEPMis subjected to an illuminative evaluation within a leading engineering and projectmanagement consultancy.The research study finds no significant difference in the academic performance ofstudents in the control and experimental groups. However, it is clear that technicallyorientated tasks lend themselves more readily to CAL than interpersonal skills.Distributed educational packages provide opportunities for enhancing distancelearning but alternative pedagogic approaches are needed to encourage web-baseddialogue and promote vicarious learning. Practitioners suggest that the distinctionbetween these alternative delivery methods is artificial and that an integrated approachshould be explored. Crucially, the research identifies considerable advantage inlinking outcomes to delivery mechanisms and advocates the use of an AssociatedDelivery model." @default.
