Week 1 - Fundamental of IS Jan 2026

 First day of class today. First I gave an overview of the course. Then proceed with ice breaking session. Generally, I'm happy with today's lesson. The venue is good. I love the learning hub. I love the set up. Unlike the venue in ERP.

I gave background. Proceed with Data, Information, and Knowledge. Next to Information System. So I think student knows what is Information System. I mentioned about the application that you use widely. It is not an application but part of the overall IS components (under software). The fact that you are using it, makes you the User (another IS Components). 

I also explain about why we need information system i.e enhanced decision making, operational excellence, collaboration and competitive advantage. I don't think that I did enought

Next we need to relate an information system to a well known IS e.g ticketing system. But first, I need to explain

Week 2

• Explain the components of IS - perhaps share a video to them.
• Activity on why organizations need information system
• Types of Information - full blown lecture
• Careers of information system.

Anything that I want to improve? Nothing that I am not happy with. But I just want to give them case studies on how IS gives competitive advantage.
