[AISWorld] Developing and teaching a Graduate IS Capstone course online

[Jeet Gupta]

Colleagues:



I am in the process of developing an online (asynchronous at present)
capstone course (to be taught in Spring 2019) for our Master’s program in
Information Systems with emphasis on Information Systems Strategy.  I have
never developed or taught this course online before.  Therefore, I seek
your advice and suggestions.  Specifically, I would like to hear:



1.      Your experience in teaching such a course online.

2.      Please share your course syllabus with me.

3.      What works and what does not work for teaching such a course online.

4.      Do’s and don’ts of this course.

5.      Suggested course material for such a course.

6.      Suggested cases and projects for such a course.

7.      Ways to handle group projects for this course.

8.      Ways to be effective in discussing cases in online format.

9.      Any other advice suggestions you can offer.



I will summarize and post the answers I receive for this request.



Thank you in advance for your contributions.
