Modular education framework supported by IT project management methods

Abstract

Information systems are widely used in various areas of our daily lives. Enterprises source planning systems such as SAP, Oracle or Microsoft Dynamics, etc. support business processes effectively. Management execution systems focus on specific industrial solutions, mostly used in manufacturing. Similar methodologies, technologies, and toolsets can be easily identified in learning management systems, but in practice, they are not as standardized as business and manufacturing solutions. There is a lack of an appropriate education framework that can be elastically extended and modified according to the actual educational needs. Our goal is to develop a novel educational framework assisted by well-known project management methods of business applications. The implementation of modular studies is introduced through the educational framework. Business methodologies and procedures demonstrated effectively helped students in their studies.
