There are many definitions of what constitutes a project such as ‘a unique set of co-ordinated activities, with definite starting and finishing points, undertaken by an individual or team to meet specific objectives within defined time, cost and performance parameters’ (Office of Government Commerce).
We are all aware that our organisations undertake projects and, rather than debate the merits of different definitions, it is perhaps more helpful to look at a few of the characteristics that make projects different from other work. Projects are usually characterised by being: Instruments of changeNon-routineUniqueComposed of inter-dependent activitiesCarried out by people who don’t normally work togetherTemporary with defined start and end datesIntended to achieve a specific outcomeFrequently risky and involving uncertainties There is no magic formula for ensuring that a project is successful, but there are well proven techniques available to help plan and manage projects.

Abstract Having implemented and evaluated over 35 mlearning projects in a variety of contexts in higher education over the past 6 years the researcher is ready to share the untold secret: not all mlearning projects succeed!
This article critiques three of the researcher’s mlearning projects that can be classed as ‘‘failures’’ and compares them to successful projects to draw out critical implications for mlearning project design and implementation to avoid common pitfalls leading to potential project failure. This article uses the researcher’s six critical success factors identified across the 35 mlearning projects to evaluate these three projects, and concludes that projects resulting in ‘‘no significant difference’’ in pedagogical outcomes are the result of attempts to shoehorn old pedagogies into new technologies.
Lecturer professional development and sustained collaborative support are critical to fostering new pedagogies utilising the unique affordances of mobile devices. HTML Views.

Description The Quality Code is the definitive reference point for all those involved in delivering higher education which leads to an award from or is validated by a UK higher education provider.
It makes clear what institutions are required to do, what they can expect of each other, and what the general public can expect of all higher education providers. This Chapter covers student engagement at undergraduate and postgraduate level, irrespective of location, mode of study, teaching delivery, or discipline. The Chapter focuses on the provision of an inclusive environment for student engagement. A consultation report which summarises the feedback given in the consultation for this Chapter has been published. Lisa Carrier. Developing staff digital literacies.
