A Project Manager takes all the problems, issues and stress away from the client. He or she is the expert and knows what the client desires and delivers it within budget, with a high quality, on time and within the client’s specification – Griffith, 2023

This course actualises learners’ leadership skills and challenges learners to be better communicators and time and task managers. On completing course assignments and working collaboratively, learners will develop skills on how to create and establish relationships with others and use tools that would help them to predict and problem solve. Through this experience, they will also be able to apply their knowledge to real-world contexts. The course ‘Facilitating and Managing Learning’ deals with managing projects from start to finish and looks specifically at organisation and planning, task delegation, time planning, budgeting and costing, effective communication and working to deadlines. In this course, learners selected a project in their working environment that may have been unsuccessful and rebirthed it in order to manage it following a systematic process. By using this approach, learners will be able to make comparisons, contrast and draw conclusions as to why the original project may have been unsuccessful. Then, in a group, learners were expected to critique one of the texts heavily used in the course from the perspective of Instructional Designers and pool together their ideas on how the book could be improved for readers on the topic of Project Management. As the penultimate course in the programme, this course’s timing is ideal for its focus on tools, strategies, knowledge and skills that are important for future career planning including but not limited to, creating Scope of Works, managing and controlling scope creep and the importance of having contingencies in place.
