Welcome to EIPT 6173: Management of Instructional Technology Programs. This class will be help every Tuesday from 4:25 to 7:05PM. Dr. Patricia Hardre will be the professor for this course. As the semester progresses, I will be posting all of my class notes and as well as hand-outs and readings that Dr. Hardre assigns. Also, I will try to post all of my projects and assignments as well.

This course will introduce you to the core principles, methods, and practices of the closely related disciplines of program and project management, and then develop your understanding of how those principles and practices are subject to adaptation. Topics will include: defining the field, contexts and influences, critical analysis, pitfalls and protections, managing people, managing time, managing other resources, troubleshooting, problem-solving, evaluation, and project reporting. The principles and methods of this course apply equally well to project management in the college, the local school system, the corporate setting, and the community organization.
