LTSN Engineering Teaching Awards: placing students at the centre of their own learning: bringing 'project management' alive by getting students to research and reflect on their own materials

'Project Management for Information Systems' is an elective module for 3rd and 4th year students studying a variety of courses within the Information Systems and Computer Applications Department University of Portsmouth including Computer Science and Business Information Technology. A student centered learning method has been introduced for this module that motivates students by asking them to investigate a topic and with guidance discover a wealth of materials and information. The case study introduces the background students' perspective issues and benefits to this teaching method.
