Question:

Changes to the scope, time (schedule), or cost require the change control process.

The objectives of the Change Management Process are:

To manage change to ensure that the scope, cost, schedule, and quality of projects are monitored and controlled.
To ensure that each request for change is assessed by the appropriate key project players.
To allow each change request to be accepted, rejected or deferred with the appropriate authority.
To enable the orderly implementation of each accepted change.
To identify and manage the impact of all changes.
To ensure that small changes are managed with a minimum of overhead.
To effectively communicate the status of change requests.

During the life of the project, change control should be implemented when a deliverable/work product are considered baselined. Primary deliverables to be considered subject to project change control include:

Project Charter
Scope Statement
WBS-Project Schedule
Project Cost
Functional Requirement Specifications (FRS)
Nonfunctional Requirement Specifications
System Architecture Design
Integration/System Test Plan
UI Design Specifications

The basic rule of thumb for all other major project deliverables not mentioned above would be to implement change control when the deliverable is considered baselined. This would include items such as HELP DESK procedure drawings, requirements, etc.

The Project team has a full time Project Cost Administrator to help regularly keep the project on track from a cost perspective. The cost control mechanisms will include:

Weekly review of all scope changes and impacts on project
Biweekly meeting to specifically review cost estimates and cost actuals by WBS element
Biweekly meeting to review risks and any changes to risks.
Revised Cost estimates on individual work elements that exceed 5% must obtain review and updates and modifications to the cost management budget following the change control procedure.
Ongoing weekly efforts on reducing scope or time would be used to counter any potential cost overruns.

Answer:

Effect of e-learning technologies on the academic performance of students in distance learning centers

Business Objectives The aim of the study is to analyze the effect of the e-learning technologies on the performance and quality of the student’s education in the distance learning centes. The main argument of this research study is to address the issues that the organization should consider while implementing the distance learning programs into the organization. Therefore, after identifying the issues, the business can meet with its organizational goals.

The following are the business objectives of the distance learning centres as follows:

To address whether e-learning technologies affect the academic performance of the students within distance learning centers
To focus on the perceptions of students on e-learning may influence the use n learning
To address capabilities, skills as well as experience of the e-learning students

Project Objectives The project plan has the objectives to study the use of primary data analysis so that proper feedback is available from the students. From this study, data from the perceptions of the students are collected. Statistical data are collected from the student to evaluate the student’s view on their performance and education quality. The data are collected from various e-learing centres based on student’s skills, their experience of using e-learning technologies and influence of e-learning on student’s educational quality.

The following are the project objectives that the distance learning centres should meet in order to meet with its organizational goal to implement of e-learing:

To effectively implement e-learning technologies in the institutions
To address the challenges related to distance learning
To identify the factors of e-learning that affects the performance of students
To suggest and recommendations of the factors that are required to consider at the time of implementation of distance learning
To consider the individual perceptions of the students in order to evaluate the implementation issues
