Adaptive learning is a method of on-demand instruction that orchestrates artificial intelligence and sophisticated algorithms to present the next appropriate action based on what it knows about each unique learner. It evolves moment-by-moment using trial and error as the environment changes. This allows the learner to make mistakes and pursue misconceptions, closely mimicking real-world cognitive situations in a consequence-free environment, and providing an effective and engaging experience. Such personalisation increases efficiency, as well as engagement, by taking into consideration what each learner has already mastered — reducing time to learning by 50% on average.
That is completely up to you! Adaptive learning is proven to reduce learning time by 50% since it takes into account what you already know - only presenting content when you need it.
In general, it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours to complete each module, so potentially anywhere from 140 minutes to 14 hours, depending on your comfort level with the material.
Project managers facilitate the execution of a project, from planning and development, managing teams and stakeholders, and managing time, scope, and budget. The project manager is responsible for the success (or failure) of the project, and success in project management is dependent on having a solid foundation in project management principles and practices.
A good foundational certification for those just starting out in the project management field is PMI’s Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® certification. See Course 3601, Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® Certification Training, if you are interested in CAPM certification.
This course introduces best-practice techniques and a project management skill set that can immediately improve your project management performance back on the job. The project manager skills needed to implement project management processes, develop leadership skills, and respond effectively to real-world project management scenarios are covered in this course.
The salary of a project manager can vary based on many factors, including location and experience level. Earning a project management certification can increase salary ranges. The current average salary for a project manager in the United States is over $80,000 per year.
