Abstract
Project Management (PM) tools are necessary to manage contemporary software projects. Computer professionals need to know how to use these tools, and higher-education computer courses teach their usage. Therefore, educators often adopt general usage tools, such as MS Project. However, as such tools lack didactic features, educational PM tools have been developed. Yet, previous studies have shown that even instructional units (IU) based on such educational PM tools do not cover the entire PM process as defined by PMBOK. This article presents an instructional unit based on an open-source educational PM tool, dotProject+, using the tool to support learning a large part of the PM process. We describe the instructional design process used to develop the IU, as well as the evaluation of the IU in a series of case studies. The results indicate that this IU contributes to student learning and assists teachers.
