Designing information systems courses in flexible learning mode

This paper reviews several frameworks for course design and develops one that incorporates the important elements of each for use in designing information systems courses. The development process revealed that there was a framework within a framework. The refined framework consists of two levels: the higher order cyclical framework and the lower level design/redesign framework. Research on the applicability of the framework for the design and redesign of information systems courses has been undertaken and the results suggest support for the effectiveness of the framework.
