Aligning Course Assignments to Fulfill IS2020 Competencies
Leidig, Jonathan P.
Information Systems Education Journal, v21 n3 p24-49 Jul 2023
Educators are tasked with continually updating course objectives, content, assignments, and assessment to meet model curriculum guidelines. IS2020 proposes program level outcomes for required and elective areas. Two elective areas in IS2020 are Data and Business Analytics and Data and Information Visualization. IS2020 details 14 program level competencies (organized within knowledge elements and skills) that are then integrated into individual course-level design. This work presents a set of laboratory exercises to fulfill the competencies of both elective areas. The set of exercises have been taught in the classroom over several years and have been refined to evaluate coverage of the 14 program competencies. The exercises begin with step-by-step tutorials that build student capabilities with software. Advanced exercises propose open challenges to solve. These resources provide IS programs with a draft of potential exercises to include in courses and a framework for covering program-level objectives.
