weight of the assignments will not be equal. The final assignment will
be a project. Assignments that are handed in after the deadline will be
assessed a penalty of 5% for each day late.
• Mini Project: demonstrate, through a project, experience in the analysis
and design of small projects using database and spreadsheet programs,
and the ability to write brief but informative reports on such work.
• Impromptu Test will be given at the lecturer’s discretion.
• An announced test will be decided in class and taken during the week of
the Continuous Assessment or date as agreed in class.
• Exam: A final examination will be given during the examination period
at the end of the term.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE
• This course is intended to provide a broad introductory
understanding of information systems, seen within
organisational and societal contexts.
• The aim is to provide students with an appropriate balance
of technical and organisational perspectives to serve as the
basis for further study in the field.
• Knowing the potential impact of information systems and
having the ability to put this knowledge to work can result
in a successful personal career; organizations that reach
their goals, and a society with a higher quality of life.
LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this course and having
completed the essential reading and activities
students should be able to:
• Distinguish data from information and describe the
characteristics used to evaluate the quality of data
• analyse the way in which information flows in and out of
an organization.
• Identify the components of an IS and describe several
system characteristics
• Identify four basic types of models and explain how they
are used
• Explain what information system is
• Discuss who uses them, how they are used and what kind
of benefits they deliver
LEARNING OUTCOME

• explain the fundamental principles and assumptions of


studying the application of information system
• apply these principles to study a number of practical
business and administrative information systems within real
organisations
• discuss the social and organisational context of computer
use in society
• discuss the history of the development of information
system and describe some of the emerging consequences
for organisations
• describe the principal technologies used in data
transmission (networks), including the basic functions and
architecture of the internet
Learning Outcome
• explain the main tasks that need to be undertaken in
preparing for the establishment of a new information
system in terms of the systems development lifecycle
and with an appreciation of alternative system
development methodologies and tools
• describe and justify a range of professional roles in
information systems development activity
• demonstrate, through a project, experience in the
analysis and design of small projects using database and
spread sheet programs, and the ability to write brief but
informative reports on such work.
CONCLUSION

• Having gone through the Power point slides and armed with
the learning objectives and outcomes of the course
Information System.
• Do a three (3) minute self-video recording, giving information
on yourself, where you are from and what your extra curricula
activities are. What you love about computing and were your
interest lies. What you would love to change or modify in your
chosen area of interest. As a critical thinker, what is your take
about Information System as course and a profession.
SUMMARY
1. From an information systems perspective, we need to ask:
• Why are we storing data?
• What purpose does it serve?
• What (or whose) information needs will it satisfy?
• How will we know if these needs have been met?

2. From a technology perspective, we may ask:


• How can data be captured, stored, communicated and displayed?
• What devices might be used?
• What are their relevant characteristics?
3. From a systems development perspective, we need to consider:
• How might we design such a system?
• Who is going to do it and what tools or techniques will they need to
use?
• Exactly what type of data is to be stored?
• How long will it take, and what will it cost?
4. From a practical perspective, there is the need to:
• Establish and resource a project to construct a system to do the job.
ACTIVITY
• Submit at least five (5) page discuss on the
effective use of a mobile phone over a laptop or
vise versa.
• Visit the main website of the federal government of Nigeria and
discover a recent government policy statement or proposal for:
a. computers in schools
b. computers in health care
c. the promotion of e-commerce.
• Look at the websites of three airlines that operate from Nigeria.
Evaluate the quality of these sites by using them to gather
information and prices for a trip to, a West African Country and
Britain. What broad criteria will you use for your evaluation?
