#EDUC90970 An Online Course Prototype: Collaborative Decision Making in Project Organisations
This Post presents my course prototype design ‘Collaborative Decision Making in Project Organisations’ based on my teaching of the ‘Project Safety Management’ course at Curtin University in 2014 and 2015.

I am not immediately used to the level of exposure to so many public online platforms, and will need some time to adapt a boundary of information sharing. But this is certainly an important and necessary exercise toward…
