A COLLABORATIVE EXPERIENTIAL FRAMEWORK APPROACH TO THE SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN AND THE PROJECTS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COURSE SEQUENCE

摘要

Typically, the systems analysis and design course requireme nts for majors in information systems have included either a single course that combines systems analysis (logical design) and systems design (physical design) concepts, or a two-course sequence delivered over two semesters. Problems with offering the course content has been the limitation of "instructorfriendly" teaching tools and the semester time constraints for completing a project beyond the logical design and partial implementation stages. Students generally do not experience the actual constructio n and implementation of a system from the design specifications. This paper proposes a two-semester, two-course sequence that incorporates the analysis, design, and implementation of a system using a collaborative experiential learning framework following the Unified Process development model.
