Methodology
EMPM with Microsoft is designed as an open forum of ideas, experiences and knowledge in which each participant works as a main
active protagonist, and responsible for their own learning process. It is proposed a method based on self-learning that is constructive,
adaptive, self-directed and cooperative, through a multimedia training system, facilitating both, single and group working. The stu-
dent gains in this process a semi-professional status, working over their organization conflicts. We think that the project management
and analysis techniques can only be acquired in real situations.
Collaborative Environment with Microsoft
Microsoft definitely bets on the development and continuous improvement of their products in the project management segment.
EMPM with Microsoft is given with most advanced technology, provided by Microsoft, setting the student on a micro-environment of
project management with computer tools from the beginning through an ASP environment designed by OdPe.
