— Information Systems (IS) courses in Information Engineering curricula are often implementation biased and hardly can be distinguished from software engineering. On the other side, they may be business biased, and neglect information modeling techniques. We present a course in between these two extremes, that combines an overview of the IS in enterprises with IS modeling. The course is characterized by an active, participative teaching approach, that sees students working in groups work and a reinforcing- stimulus cycle, where, after listening foundations, students develop a complete design of a realistic IS. The paper zooms in a specific slot of the method for information modeling at the strategic level.

Abstract

— Information Systems (IS) courses in Information Engineering curricula are often implementation biased and hardly can be distinguished from software engineering. On the other side, they may be business biased, and neglect information modeling techniques. We present a course in between these two extremes, that combines an overview of the IS in enterprises with IS modeling. The course is characterized by an active, participative teaching approach, that sees students working in groups work and a reinforcing- stimulus cycle, where, after listening foundations, students develop a complete design of a realistic IS. The paper zooms in a specific slot of the method for information modeling at the strategic level.
