The course will be taught as a set of
lectures and exercise sessions. The structure and contents of the
lecture is based on the text book by Bocij, Greasley and Hickie
(2008). The theoretical and conceptual contents will be
supplemented with:
• a group project work where students initiate, design and build an
information system (a website) from scratch
• practical exercises to apply and reinforce the presented methods,
technologies, and tools
• supporting online resources and web links on specific technical
topics
• case examples from a wide variety of sectors and countries
• self-assessment questions to test the individual understanding
Use of e-learning:
The course will be taught face-to-face, but the students are
encouraged to use the above described online resources. |
