Executive Project Management Plan for an Online Course Instructor Training in Higher Education

Abstract

This chapter focuses on a project-management-based online learning design (PMBOLD) project planned to be executed with a three-tier change model. The PMBOLD project introduces an online instructor training project proposed to be implemented at an executive management level at today's post-pandemic higher educational organizations. Based on the popular analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) design framework, the project is presented as a roadmap for all change agents at universities, especially those currently left with managerial choices to make as to whether to completely transition to online learning or continue with hybrid learning post pandemic. The goal of this intervention plan is to bring about a solid organizational change in today's higher educational institutions that implement distance learning and e-learning in their administrative operations and instructional activities. The proposed project for online instructor training will have curricular and ID-focused implications as well as substantive managerial applications.
