The first class was only attended by 2 students. The lecture begins with definition of IS until the components of IS.
In Week 2, the topic Intro to IS continues. The student number has increased to 20-something. Since majority of the students did not attend week 1, I recorded a video lecture for week 1. I don't repeat the lecture. I ask the students to watch the video. I only recap. I also develop a digital lesson on Google site for the students to go through and learn from it.
The topic for Week 3 is hardware and software. A digital lesson on hardware was developed for the class. The students have to go through the digital lesson. Students have to self learn the topics on hardware and I cover the software topics in class. At the beginning of the class, I asked students to ask questions on hardware and recap on the hardware. It takes about one hour to do that. Maybe, I would ask students to go through the lesson and ask questions on Telegram. In class, I will entertain those questions. I think it is going to save time. The intention of topic is to introduce students to IS architecture. At the moment, when they see an IS architecture, they can see the client, server and network devices which are all hardware. If the students can identify those components in the architecture, that is good enough.
The topic for Week 4 is database. My idea is not to go through the slides. Explain to them in a concept that they understand. I just want to show them how database fits in the IS.
Idea for an activity is to show them the architecture and identify what data should be in the database server.
