“…According to Warschauer, whereas CALL has traditionally been associated with self-contained, programmed applications such as tutorials, drills, simulations, instructional games, tests and so on, NBLT represents a new and different side of CALL, where human-to-human communication is the focus. Broadly, CALL is the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning [3]. NBLT "involves the use of computers connected to one another in either local or global net works".…”

Abstract-English learners are provided by the Web with fast, abundant and authentic materials. Besides, the features in hypertext structure, multimedia capabilities and online communication have a great influence on education, especially on second and foreign language education. Thus how to make use of the Web to facilitate English teaching and learning has become an essential issue for both learners and instructors. To design an effective Web-based course, teachers may take the three models proposed as reference: analyzing students' needs and clarifying their characteristics, setting their learning objectives and choosing the suitable Internet resources as teaching materials. The successful Web-based courses should be based on a clear pedagogical rationale and interaction, authentic activities and technological issues.

“…Understanding the student experience will enable institutions of learning to address pedagogic and education factors within project management more effectively in the future (Ojiako et al, 2011). Institutions for Project management education and the universities are increasingly facing new challenges brought on by a number of major disruptive drivers and methodological changes, with approaches focus on developing behavioral competences (European Commission, 2005).…”

“…With the rising number of project-based companies and institutions mentioned proportions of project failures have not been improving. Authors (Winter et al, 2006;Atkinson, 2008;Ojiako et al, 2011;Egginton, 2012) agree that project manager education needs a paradigm shift because the current methods of education no longer reflect needs of the practice.…”

ABSTRACT. European Union subsidy policy gives schools the possibility to improve their budgets and fund various education development projects. Projects have to be carried out by teachers, which increases the need for education in the field of project management. To increase the efficiency and success rate of education development projects it is possible to use the risk register presented in this paper. This paper is based on a research project undertaken in the Czech Republic between 2012 and 2013. The main objective of the project was to increase the effectiveness of the realization of education development projects in regional education in the Czech Republic. A risk register is great tool to help inexperienced project managers avoid risks regardless of the methodology used for managing the project. This paper presents a risk register created especially for development education projects funded from public finance and which can be used during teachers' education. IntroductionDuring past two decades project management has become one of the most popular management concepts mainly because of its applicability across industries (Whittington et al., 1999;Bryde, 2003;Lenfle, Loch, 2010). Various authors (e.g. Aram, Noble, 1999;Jaafari, 2003; Ives, 2005) agree that a key benefit of project management is its flexibility and ability to deal with complex problems, uncertainty and chaos. Its wide applicability and flexibility, as well as its capacity for quick response and numerous tools and techniques that can be employed during all phases of projects, enabled project management to displace traditional structures such as divisional and functional structures (Kerzner, 2010;Davies et al., 2011).The Project Management Institute (PMI), one of the top professional associations in the world, identified seven project-intensive industries in which it expects the greatest growth of need of the project manager role. PMI (2013) states that just in those seven industries, between 2010 and 2020, nearly 16 million project managers will be needed worldwide. This demonstrates that the spread of project management practice has not stopped and that there is the potential for further application of project management across industries.The continuous spread of project management is connected with a major problemthe project failure rate is high.
