Learning Methods:
This course is based upon interaction between the students and the teachers. Wherever possible a link should
be made between the academic underpinning and its practical application. Students will be given time to
develop skills and analyse the benefits and limitations of the use of IS and IT in organisations. A ‘hands on’
approach will ensure that students can use integrated programmes and have a wide range of knowledge of
different applications. The practical knowledge can be used to develop an awareness of how IT and IS can
be adopted by organisations to improve business efficiency. This will be achieved via a tutor-developed case
study, an evaluation of a local organisation, guest lectures and industry visits. Part of the learning process
will also be producing a paper (in groups) on a relevant topic.
