Towards Situational Process Management for Professional Education Programmes.

Designing and running professional education programmes involves various processes that responsible parties must manage. The knowledge gathered during development and with each new programme iteration is seldom externalized and it cannot be guaranteed that it will be applied in the next programme or iteration. This work-in-progress paper proposes a situational process management approach for professional education programmes The basis for our approach is a modelling language to describe the high-level perspective of such programmes Processes, best practices and existing content elements can be extracted from these models and added to a knowledge base alongside situational factors in which these items apply. If a relevant situation is observed in a model representing a professional education programme, the applicable items from the knowledge base are suggested to users. Our approach allows persisting the knowledge gained while developing/running professional education programmes and makes it accessible to others.
