Course Description

This is an online course, for mid-career professionals, delivered through the Brightspace Learning Management System (LMS). This course makes clear the relationship between IT and IM, often misconstrued in organizations. The course includes theories of databases and integrated systems design, allied with practical applications of a wide range of information technologies to support organizational goals. These include traditional intranet and extranet applications along with emerging technologies. Concepts of information architecture (IA) are introduced relating to the design of shared information environments that are often web-based, including intranets, databases and online communities. The practices of IA are examined through analyses of real organizations and how the information environment can best serve their mission, goals, processes, clients, suppliers and other stakeholders.

Course Goals

• Understand the role of IS&T in supporting organizations鈥� plans for effective information management.
• Learn about emerging technology and reflect on its implications for organizations and for information management.
• Acquire an understanding of issues concerning the adoption of IS&Ts within an organization for internal or external use.
