Hi Ruth:

Well, we have quite a few courses that deal with Digital Project
Management issues (including one Morry is teaching online this semster -
as follows).  To get the info on these classes, here's the link:

http://www.nsu.newschool.edu/fall02/03a13_comp.htm#COMP6

And, here's the class info:
Digital Project Management**NCIC1508
Keith Alexander, Morry Galoway
A***12 sessions. Tues. & Thurs., 7:40-10:00 p.m., beg. Nov. 5. $720.
B***On line 9 weeks. Sept. 16 thru Nov. 15. $720. 
Limited to 14. Bringing a company on line or creating original content
for the Web takes more than great design and technical expertise--it
requires a strong project manager who understands the vision for the
site. This class covers the essentials of the project management process
for website production--writing pitches, analyzing opportunities,
creating budgets and schedules, selecting the right production team,
overseeeing the actual design and production process, leading client
reviews, and finally, inaugurating site promotions and advertising. In
both hands-on and lecture format, the focus is on planning and execution
of large and small websites. Prerequisites: Advanced Web Design &
Construction or strong Web design experience.**(2 credits) 

Please let me know if you have any other questions and hope to meet you
at The New School.

Morry,

What course is that? Is there an online brochure or something? I'm at 
the New School too, in Media Studies.

thanks!
