Abstract :
This project answers to the need of development of a complete master degree program at the point of intersection between information technology and communications. The innovative performance-centered approach has been developed, tested and implemented and our partnership experience returned strong positive results - it has been proven to be more effective than the traditional lecture-practice-test (expository inductive) in training higher order skills, for preparing learners for self-learning, improving and adapting for changing jobs.
