Project Objectives: Creating a virtual network for distance learning that offers a hands
on environment that has until now exclusively been used in corporate learning. This
project’s main focus is to provide student with practical (on-the-job) experience that
cannot be replicated in a classroom or lab environment. Students will assume total
responsibility for day-to-day operations. They will also become the drivers for change
and growth on their production network.
Approach:
Develop a survey to determine critical features of new student ran network and
Distance Education requirements
Update the information technology inventory database to determine needed
hardware, software and materials
Develop a detailed cost estimate for project and report to CIO
Issue a request for quote to obtain hardware, software and materials
Hold weekly progress review meetings with the core project team, CIO and the
sponsor’s representatives
Use internal staff as much as possible for planning, analysis, installation, training,
and maintenance
Monitoring and controlling phase
New system fully implemented and in students control
Provide technical support and regular maintenance
