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.
