WHAT TO DO:





  1. Follow the Study Schedule and work with the Topics (Modules) in Interact as they provide a "scaffold" for your learning in this subject.

  2. Develop a detailed CapstoneProject Proposal and Planusing project management software (as listed in the Study Schedule) and the skills you have acquired from IT Project Management to develop a project plan with aWork Breakdown Structure(WBS), milestones andGantt chart. These tools may help.

    1. MicrosoftProject Pro (http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/project/);

    2. Open source tools like GanttProject (http://www.ganttproject.biz/);

    3. OpenProj(http://sourceforge.net/projects/openproj/)

    4. OpenProject (https://www.openproject.org/about).

    5. ProjectLibre (http://www.projectlibre.org/)



  3. Begin using the 'project blog' as a tool beyond theweekly progrees reportsfor your chosen emerging technology topic:

    1. The blog is a way to not only "think by writing" and make your notes but also store project files and links in a cloud-based service.

    2. Consider sharing the site with your peers as a way to tell a story and harness each others knowledge.



  4. The blog is ideallyupdated each weekwith 3 or 4 entries for documenting your project notes and as the foundation for editing and writing the Capstone Project Report. An ideal blog entry will have around 50-150 words (150-600 words a week).


  5. Group Work OPTION for Assessment Items(Not recommended for Online Study mode students): The Group Capstone Project Proposal and Plan is submitted by the team of three (3 maximum group size) for a group mark on a project proposal and plan that clearly indicates the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Role and Responsibilities of EACH member to carry an equal share of the load in the project work.
