Abstract
Department of informatics in Shizuoka University has offered a class of project management for undergrad students. By analyzing evaluation sheets of the class and their project management plans, the author realized students had problems to understand especially project planning processes. Therefore, developing an e-learning web site for helping these people to study project management is a main purpose of the study. The contents on both "beginner of PMBOK" and "beginner of system development" pages have evaluated by collecting their evaluating sheets from students after they read them. One of them named "Beginner of PMBOK" has described basic concepts of PMBOK with using familiar examples. Moreover, "System Development" has described how to make WBS and estimate project costs based on them used by common system development. In addition, contents of "PMBOK" have aimed to help students, who have aimed to be project managers, to study project management. In conclusion, more than half of the students who answered the evaluating sheet stated that these contents on the web site helped to solve their problems that they had before reading them.
