The Core

The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), text books, and the IS 2002 Model Curriculum and Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Information Systems (IS 2002) recommend standards and provide guidelines for course content and learning goals for the core undergraduate Information Systems (IS) course. However course content and learning goals often need to be revised due to high pressure on academic institutions from a rapidly changing Information Technology (IT) market. In order to constantly refine the IS course curricula to meet the needs of industry and government, it is imperative that there be proven methods to measure the effectiveness of course content and learning goals. Analysis of such data should ultimately feed into designing the curriculum of the core undergraduate IS course. This paper focuses on the role of surveys as a tool for measuring the effectiveness of course content and learning goals for the core undergraduate IS course. First, the role of IS 2002 is reviewed in setting standards for the course content and learning goals for this course. Next, data from three surveys conducted to measure the effectiveness of course content and learning goals is analyzed. The paper then assesses surveys’ implications for refining course content and learning goals of the core undergraduate IS course. Finally, recommendations along with a framework for conducting future surveys are presented.

Curriculum Guidelines

The systems approach is frequently associated with solving large-scale, complex problems and is regarded as a foundation for systems engineering and decision-making. Components of the systems approach are too frequently missing from information systems programs in business schools. The purpose of this paper is to determine the degree to which the IS 2010: Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs contains the systems approach in its learning objectives as well as specific course content. By examining the curriculum guidelines a preliminary judgment can be made concerning evidence of the systems approach having a broad implementation across information systems programs. The paper concludes with a discussion of the importance of the systems approach in the IS curriculum and establishing the systems approach as a theme in the curriculum of IS programs.

Landscape Research

Singapore Management University's School of Information Systems is a young school within a young and small university in Asia. Being young and small, establishing a successful analytics master degree program required extensive landscape research, assessment of its own strengths and weaknesses, having a committed team, and having a clear vision to meet the ever-changing needs of the industry. The Master of IT in Business (Analytics) program, established since 2011, has grown from an annual intake of 16 to 128 students in six years. This article attempts to describe the design process, challenges faced, decisions made, and the key actions taken, which resulted in an extremely successful analytics master program. The experiences and lessons drawn can become valuable references for other universities who are also planning to launch analytics master degree programs. The article also summarizes the 11 key takeaways which can be used as a strategic guideline.

The Future

Web Technology has changed conventional Information Systems (IS) and conventional Information Technology (IT) as we know it. There is no doubt that Web technology will provide the foundation for most future software systems. IS curriculum therefore needs to be brought up to date to reflect this reality. In this paper we update our earlier research leading to the design of a graduate model curriculum for Information Systems and describe a generic web-centric Information Systems Masters curriculum model. It is strong on web-technology and its goal is to produce students who are comfortable with both today's technology and technology of the future. Universities and colleges can adapt this curriculum model to design a new Masters in IS curriculum or simply to bring up to date any existing IS/IT curriculum. The model suggests new core concentration courses, and concentration electives.
