Suggested phases for the project
The following project steps may be best addressed by "teaming" partner institutions with similar capabilities but different perspectives around the completion of the task.


 * SWOT Analysis: Project curriculum team would conduct an objectives audit to make sure that the Open ICDL materials meet the requirements of Version 4 of the ICDL curriculum. This analysis will also include a high-level review of free content available. There may be additional modules identified for later development that are not included in the Version 4 of the ICDL curriculum. Target date: 28 Feb 2007
 * Learning Design Template: Two or more institutions may team to define a learning design format/template that can be used to create uniformity of the resulting content authoring step. Target date: 15 March 2007
 * Content authoring: Depending on the identified objectives resulting from step 1 above, Two institutions may work together as module coordinators to author or revise program content. Target Dates: 5 Modules by 30 June 2007 and all 7 Modules by 15 August 2007.
 * Configuration for eLearning / local learning system: This would entail repacking of the wiki materials for local learning management systems. Target date: 15 October 2007

Anticipated roles

 * 1) Learning design co-ordinator(s) - responsible for
 * 2) * co-ordinating the SWOT analysis of existing materials available
 * 3) * developing the instructional design template
 * 4) * specifying requirements for each module (eg multimedia, activities, assessment)
 * 5) Module co-ordinator(s) - responsible for leading the reconfiguration of a Module within the Open ICDL
 * 6) Module collaborator(s) - responsible for working collaboratively with the Module co-ordinator on the reconfiguration of a Module

Draft project schedule
Project duration: 50 Weeks

Note: these are estimates of time and will need to be recalibrated to take the collaborative authoring model into account and impacts of the design template adopted.
