The Evaluation of Courses in Information Systems

Abstract

This paper presents a process for evaluating an e-commerce course in order to determine whether the structure and design is appropriate for student learning. Evaluation is important in determining what aspects of the program or course require improvement. The evaluation of any course must be planned for at the design/redesign stage and conducted throughout the duration of the course. The primary purposes for the evaluation are to determine how well the students are learning and how that learning process can be improved. The evaluation process identified several changes to the course that would enhance student-learning outcomes.
