| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LOsStudents are encouraged to develop a critical understanding of the design, implementation and management of large scale business information systems. Whole-class lectures cover LOs 1-2 and are supported by extensive background notes and further materials in Moodle. A significant element of the module is built around a self-paced lab based element where the students interact in real time with a working ERP system (currently SAP) covering sales, procurement, production and warehousing processes. The experience gained from this hands-on access to SAP is called upon during the coursework assignment. Supporting tutorials are based on small-group analysis of real-life case examples of enterprise systems in their business environment with informal presentation of findings to the whole group. Case studies aligned to LOs 1-4 are used to develop analytical skills. Discussions based on seminar/tutorial material and set reading develop skills of analysis, syntheses, group participation and verbal expression.
|
Formative assessment takes place during the weekly tutorial/practical sessions which run alongside the lectures. In the first half-of the module, students are introduced to the importance of the Enterprise Systems methods; in the second half of the course, where students are preparing their coursework assignment, students are encouraged, evaluated and assessed on their ability to see where their new knowledge can help them address the assignment brief.
|
Coursework: students are asked to prepare a management report on a possible implementation of a SAP system for a large organisation. A requirement of the coursework is that students demonstrate a sound understanding of theory and practice in the use of enterprise systems by drawing upon their experience of SAP to demonstrate how it can be valuably used within a large enterprise system. Completion of the management report sees students address LOs 1,2,3,4. The examination covers LOs 1, 2.
