Problem
Your organization strongly supports the goals of the United Nations' PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education). The organization has begun its first PRME project, a high priority and highly visible initiative. You have been named project manager.
The project will identify and establish ongoing relationships with corporate partners worldwide. The partnerships will promote the development, transfer, dissemination and diffusion of environmentally sound educational technologies to developing countries on favorable terms, including concessional and preferential terms, as mutually agreed. Educational technology for this project will be a content delivery platform for elementary and secondary school organizations. D2L (eConestoga) is an example of this technology.
It is expected that several partners will be required to fulfill all the needs of the school organizations. Preference will be given to partners in developing nations, partners with visible minorities and women as the majority shareholders.
Partners should be ready to work with school organizations on January 1, 2024.
Partners may have one or more of the following responsibilities.
1) Develop and build educational technologies.
2) Customize technology to fit the needs of the school organization.
3) Install the technology in the school system.
4) Train teachers in how to use the technology in their first language.
5) Create training materials for students.
6) Deliver periodic upgrades to the technology as well as ongoing user support.
