“It Was a Self-Taught Course”: The Redesign of an Undergraduate MIS Core Course
Main Article Content
Abstract
The transition to fully asynchronous teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic created substantial challenges in engaging and satisfying students in undergraduate Management Information Systems courses. This redesign case emphasizes increasing students’ engagement and hands-on experience while offering a greater instructor presence. The new version of the course exposes students to a variety of enterprise software such as SAP, Salesforce, and Tableau. In addition, the use of Slack and changing the assessment format led to an increase in student satisfaction. We analyzed student feedback before and after the redesign and found that learners significantly improved their perception of their instructor’s social presence. This improvement enhanced engagement and strengthened students’ preparation for the real-world experiences.
