Information Systems Project

This unit aims to provide students with an advanced knowledge of aspects of information systems and related project development. Students build on the knowledge and skills developed in their previous studies to examine and develop project outcomes that have potential real-world impact in varied global and local contexts. Students will critically reflect upon conceptual processes, solution design and deployment in relation to the application of modern technology infrastructure, platforms, and tools such as those from a cloud. Students draw on their learning across their degree studies to complete diverse authentic learning tasks which involve problem solving, project planning and scheduling in relation to information systems projects and project management. Themes in project communication are emphasised including effective project reporting and evaluation. Key areas relating to information systems projects are introduced including research skills, business analysis, solution development, communication and report writing. Students engage with the content through a range of activities that are grounded in problem solution based learning which contextualise information system knowledge and skills. Student learning will be guided and assessed by means of presentations, a project plan and a final project report.
