INFORMATION SYSTEMS

CSE1ISX

2017

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this subject, students are introduced to the concept of an information system (IS) including file design, input/output/interface design, file conversion and implementation techniques. This subject deals with systems development life cycle as a framework for IS development and emphasises the role and involvement of users in an IS project. The use of appropriate fact-finding techniques in systems analysis and an introduction to data flow and E-R modelling are covered. Several information system case studies are used to illustrate the concepts introduced. Students will receive hands-on experience in the construction of a small information system using a suitable prototyping tool.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes

01. Use a generalised model of an information system (IS) to analyse, identify and effectively describe the components of a simple real-life information system.

Activities:
Reading activities from Computer Power learning content and relevant on-line chapters from the prescribed book. These will describe real-life information systems in terms of a generalized model.

02. Describe the Systems Development Life Cycle approach to developing IS.

Activities:
Discussions involving on-line problems and webinars to describe the various stages of the Systems Development Life Cycle.

03. Use established fact finding techniques to elicit IS requirements for a simple business scenario.

Activities:
Students conducting mock interviews during webinars that will help elicit information systems requirements.

04. Use Context and Level 0 Data Flow Diagrams and a System Dictionary to adequately describe the requirements for a simple IS.

Activities:
Self-paced online exercises and discussion forums to prepare Context and Level 0 Data Flow Diagrams.

05. Use Entity-Relationship Modelling to develop and describe a simple relational database design.

Activities:
Webinars and self-checking questions.

06. Critique the design of the user interface of a simple IS.

Activities:
Webinar and discussion forums used to suggest improvements for a user interface design.

07. Justify the choice of an implementation approach and security requirements for a new IS.

Activities:
Self-paced online exercise, discussion forums and webinars to propose an implementation approach.

08. Design and construct a simple IS using a prototyping tool.

Activities:
Self-paced tutorials on Microsoft Access from Microsoft website, webinars to develop a simple IS in Microsoft Access.
