INFORMATION SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN COURSE WITH PROJECTS BASED ON REAL CUSTOMERS REQUIREMENTS

Establishing a learning process that reflects various specifics of Information systems area is a challenge for every Information Systems educational program. Creating practical skills at student education requires significant efforts universities cannot afford using only traditional forms of education. This is particularly true when it comes to information systems development, where the expectation of the users play significant role in defining systems requirements. To address this challenge for an important issue – information systems analysis and design, we apply a specific approach of involving real user’s requirements for student projects as a part of students’ education. The study contributes to the pedagogical and theoretical aspects of education in Information systems area by adapting methods and models for successful information systems analysis and design process. To practitioners, this paper presents directions for using effective requirements engineering activities
