Current Events & Trend Reports#7: Information Systems Review

Learning Act - Information System Review

Introduction: Consider the holistic view of systems being the sum of all parts (Business, Organization, and Technology) and the 3 main relationships discussed earlier; User to People (U2P), User to Technology (U2T), and Technology to Technology (T2T) in terms of interfaces, interactions, and interdependencies depicted in the following slides.

What matters most in an Information System Review is conducting an Intelligence Analysis of the Needs identified between the Technology and Business and the Behaviors identified between the Business and People/Organization in terms of achieving the desired Results and Outcomes.

Part-1 Refer to our university information system and perform a critical system review of Canvas as a computer application “Learning Management System (LMS)” being used in teaching and learning to complete the following:

1. Identify and note any areas of improvements in terms of performance and benefits from at least 2 user’s perspectives (Students and Professors) in terms of Needs, Behavior, and Results/Outcomes

2. Summarize all your areas of improvements and what changes you think would improve

the IUPUI Information System and the use of Canvas as a computer application in terms of performance and benefits for the users you have identified in question 1.

3. Note: You may also choose to use the organization you are currently working for or have worked for in the past to perform this review and IS analysis. Part-2

1. Use draw.io or another application you are most familiar with to draw and depict a system diagram that will include the areas of improvement you have identified. You may use icon, pictures, logos etc…or simply text boxes. See following example of an e- learning system:

2. Submit your analysis in a minimum one-page word document 3. Submit your revised system’s diagram as a PDF or a screen capture (pic file)
