The session will focus on the design, management, impact and use of a variety of learning environments for increasing the effectiveness of project management education.
The objectives are to understand how to effectively arrange learning environments by considering how other disciplines have done this, gain knowledge about how academics can work effectively with estates departments and see how physical and virtual learning environments can be used to promote effective project management learning.
