Teaching Activities

IS 786: Statistical Computing
This course is a practical and project-oriented introduction to quantitative methods in information systems research (here is the draft syllabus). The focus of the course is on developing researchers¹ capability to select and implement appropriate statistical procedures for a variety of research questions and to interpret the results of these procedures. The course makes extensive use of existing data sets (usually provided by faculty members) from information systems-related research projects.

IS 658: Multimedia Information Systems
Multimedia software systems incorporate various media, such as text, images, video and audio, to provide rich experiences for users. This is a course in the design, implementation and evaluation of multimedia systems. The course has three major content areas and goals: (1) multimedia data types-the goal being to understand the development and use of various multimedia data types; (2) usability and user modeling-the goal being to incorporate theories of human perception and cognition into the design and evaluation of multimedia systems; and (3) multimedia design and software tools-the goals being to plan and develop multimedia projects and to be aware of ways in which multimedia is being used in the public and private sectors.

IS 441: Geographic Information Systems
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow individuals and organizations to pose, explore and answer a variety of public- and private-sector questions using spatial data. In this course the student will learn to identify, manipulate and analyze spatial data using state-of-the-art software. The course is project-driven and hands-on: students will define and address real problems using real data. The course will also cover selected topics in information visualization as they relate to the use of geographic information systems. The course syllabus and this flyer provide more detail.

IS 465: Advanced Information Systems
This is a course on how to model and make decisions about information systems and information technology. The emphasis on the first part of the course is on recognizing, describing, analyzing, and designing information systems for business applications. The second part of the course aims to obtain a more detailed understanding of the nature of problem solving and decision-making, particularly as it applies to the design and use of information technology.
