Introduction

The Project Summary

The project summary is a brief description of the project. It should be written in a clear, concise, and effective manner that is easy to read and understand. The writer should use simple sentences with short nouns and verbs that help create a sense of urgency for your reader’s attention.

The following points are important when writing your project summary:

• Use active voice—verbs such as “will” or “is” are not as effective because they imply action without actually stating it clearly enough for readers’ attention (this can be seen in many newspapers). Instead, try using active voice by replacing these with present participles like “doing,” “having,” or “being.” For example: “We’re going to do something about this problem.”
• Avoid long sentences; instead break up long ones into shorter ones so they don’t become too complicated or confusing. You may want to use subheadings at first if you find yourself struggling with how best describe what happened during some part of your reading experience — this way readers will have an easier time following along! For example: This paragraph discusses how entrepreneurs can use their own resources wisely when starting up businesses

The Methodology

A methodology is a set of steps that you follow to solve a problem or complete a project. In this case, the methodology involves gathering data and analyzing it in order to come up with recommendations for improving training effectiveness.

The objective of your proposed training methodologies is to improve training effectiveness through better use of technology tools such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR). For example: If we want people who are new employees at our company but don’t have much experience working in IT department yet, then we should develop an online course where they can learn everything about how these technologies work together so that when they start working there won’t be any problems later on down the road when trying out new applications on their own computers!

Rationale and Objectives

The training is needed because:

• You want to learn how to do your job better, with less effort and more results.
• You want to get better at what you do, so that you can help more people with their problems.
• Your boss wants you to be able to handle any situation that could come up at work, so he or she can rest easy knowing that everything will be taken care of if necessary (or as much as possible).

So in short: Your employer wants this training because it will help him/her sleep better at night knowing his/her employees are well-trained and prepared for anything life throws at them!

Reference Information

• The reference list is a list of all the sources you have used in your research. It contains:
• A complete title of each source, including author and editor name(s), year published (if applicable).
• To cite a journal article:
• Cite the first author’s last name, article title, journal name and volume number; include page numbers if available. If no page numbers are available, use quotation marks around the entire title page so that readers know where to find it elsewhere in their workbooks or bookshelf. For example: “Smith et al., 2009” or “Smith 2009” or something similar; do not use parenthesis around words like “et al.” (which means “and others”). If there is more than one author listed on an article but only one has written most of it—for instance if several people worked together on an investigative report but only one named himself as primary author—then use “and” instead of “et al.” when citing individual authors’ names.)
