Teaching Tips and Strategies v2 v2 v2




Today’s students use technology in ways that were not even dreamed of just a decade ago.
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


Because these students have grown up surrounded by and using technology, information
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


technology is an integral part of their lives. Unfortunately, many students seldom think about the
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


whys and wherefores behind the technology they use every day.
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2




I have found they often fail to recognize, understand, or even see how information technology
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


impacts them, their lives, and their careers. So it is important to let them know what is in it for
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


them, even if they are not majoring in information systems. The textbook authors do a good job
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


of this by including a
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


―What’s In IT for Me?‖ section at the start of each chapter.
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2




Throughout this course, it is important for us to encourage our students to step back and observe
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


the bigger picture of what comprises the fundamentals of management information systems.
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


Unfortunately, you will find some students who will think this class is boring or even complain
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


they already ―know it all.‖
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2




Point out that they should look at the ―What’s In IT for Me?‖ section of the chapters. This should
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


be done early in the course. As part of your introductions on the first day of class, you might
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


consider asking students what their major is. Knowing each student’s major and possible career
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


goals will help you tailor examples, classroom assignments and discussion to the interests of the
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


students.
v2




Explaining how MIS has affected businesses as well as workers helps to get students interested in
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


this class. It also helps when they are told stories of how computers have evolved and how MIS
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


and decision support systems (discussed in a late chapter) have made management decision-
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


making easier and more reliable.
v2 v2 v2 v2




To support your class discussions and examples through the course, I try to bring in examples from
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


the local area. Most communities around college and university campuses have businesses or

,v2 government

,agencies that operate data centers. Many times, students are unaware that they are there. In most
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


cases, the local Chamber of Commerce or, if your school has one, a group of local business
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


leaders who periodically meet with your dean might help you find these sites.
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2




You might also consider supporting your class discussions on the importance of computer
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


technology with examples of how companies have moved to e-mail to save money over using
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


snail mail (postal service). Students can be introduced to the concept that IT must be paired
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


with business processes to harness IT’s potential.
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2




IT is important to business leaders all over the world. There are salary statistics for all majors.
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


You can get this information from USA Today’s website at www.usatoday.com, Payscale.com
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


(www.payscale.com), or Salary.com (www.salary.com). Historically, there are usually a few IT-
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


related jobs in the top 10 highest-paying jobs for college grades. This usually gets some
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


students’ attention, especially if they realize that if they are more technologically savvy they will
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


tend to make more money.
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2




Finally, have your students look at local help-wanted ads to see how many job postings for what might be
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


considered non-technical jobs require some IT knowledge.
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2




Blackboard/CMS Suggestions v2




Most colleges and universities have design requirements on the structure of online courses and
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


what should be included in the campus’s course management system, whether the class is online
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


or as a
v2 v2 v2


supplement to an in-person lecture-based class. So what I am including in this section for this and
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


the rest of the chapter Instructor Manuals is based on what I have learned from nearly fifteen
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


years teaching this class, and almost ten years teaching it online.
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2




I usually start the term with an online discussion question asking the students about their majors,
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


what they think their technical knowledge is (this can sometimes be surprising because they
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


usually overestimate what they really know), and if they have any fears about technology. For
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


this exercise, I usually do not permit others in the class to comment on another student’s
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


response. I use this mainly to gauge the knowledge and background of the class.
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2




I always record a short video for each chapter for my online classes. I have found that if I record
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


a complete lecture, most students do not watch it. So I do a ten- to fifteen-minute chapter
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


overview video.
v2 v2




If you are teaching an online class or are looking for a short video for a lecture class, I can
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


usually find topic-relevant videos on YouTube. Sometimes they are product demos or sales
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


videos, but they still usually present relevant information or concepts.
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2

- Self-checkout aisles v2


- Based on digital technology (machine learning), microfulfillment centers are being built and
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


used for quicker delivery of e-commerce orders
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


- Opening smaller locations with greater convenience (as opposed to large big-box stores)
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


- Physical delivery methods are used (based on technology) such as driverless vehicles and drones

a description of the impact the change has. Ideally, regardless of which option is chosen, it
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


should be supported with a logical reason as to why it is and will continue to be important
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


for the industry.

company.v2




ANSWER:
1a) In the 1980s the governments change to a market-based economy resulted in the ability to
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


establish private businesses, which transformed to the telecommunications industry. It was no
v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2 v2


longer controlled by the communist party and restricted to government officials.
