Making the most of an eLearning Team

• Get to know other people in your department or

  types of projects.
• The success of your e-learning project depends on
  assembling the right team. For each of the
  functions required for your project, specify the
  job title and ideal person for the job. The same
  job title can be assigned to more than one person
  and more than one person can be placed on one
  complex function.
