Analysis – the characteristics of BUS017 instructors and students in terms of their technical readiness to adapt to e-learning instructions as well as the learning contents and system requirements are analyzed in this second phase of the project development life cycle.
§ Instructors – very well versed with new technology (these are instructors who teach technology). Technical readiness: 100%.
§ Students – just as comfortable, if not more comfortable, with new technology as the instructors because these are the “Facebook” generation of students. Technical readiness: 100%.
§ Learning contents – (1) web-site design and (2) database development are the initial required e-learning instructions (see “Project scope” above). In addition, (3) teaching student effective presentation skills would also be required.
§ Interactivity and User Interface – a basic level of interactivity comprising hyperlinks, menus and buttons presented as a webpage with a simple, balanced user interface would suffice.
§ Multimedia – Flash videos.
§ Access – e-learning contents to be hosted on UniSIM’s Blackboard LMS system for access by all the BUS017 instructors and students starting from the July 2011 semester.
§ User guide – not necessary because web-pages accessed through the Blackboard LMS are easy-to-use and self-explanatory.
