Abstract | This paper examines a current research study into the development of a pedagogical framework for distance education (DE) in postgraduate project management studies at an Australian university. As part of its strategy to deliver ‘transnational’ education, the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) offers a postgraduate DE program in project management to large cohorts including international students. Project management is representative of many professional disciplines in that it requires development of technical, strategic, organisational and leadership competencies, but strategies to foster these professional competencies in a DE environment require investigation. |
