Abstract

Project management is an interdisciplinary subject area, which has traditionally been taught as a postgraduate course. This usually implies that classes comprise learners from a multitude of disciplines, all with varying degrees of experience. The mindset of these individuals is often diverse, which in some ways simulates the problems that project managers face in practice where conflict of opinion is commonplace. This article explores whether the Internet is an effective learning tool to integrate horizontally with relevant disciplines to meet project objectives.
