ISEM500: Strategic IS Planning for Digital Enterprises

This is a hands-on computer aided planning course that heavily utilizes SPACE Toolkit and the following projects:

• Project1: Student teams form a small company in any of the sectors (e.g., retail, healthcare, transportation) in any country in the world. Then they develop a business strategic plan and verify the plan by playing a Business Strategic Planning (BSP) game in SPACE.
• Project2: Students expand the results of Project1 by developing IS services (e.g., ERPs) and the needed IT Infrastructure for their company. They use extended BSP games and ICT infrastructure planning games for verification.
• Project3: Extend the plan developed so far by using the SPACE ePlanner and AI features.
• Coursepack Planning, discussed below, is used to support all these projects

ISEM540: Enterprise Architecture & Integration

This is a hands-on computer aided integrated architecture course that heavily utilizes SPACE Toolkit, UN ICT4SIDS Partnership site and the following projects:

• Project1: Student teams form a smart center (hub) that supports any sector (e.g., health, education, public safety, public welfare, etc.) in any country in the world. They develop the architecture of the center and conduct hands-on experiments with UN SDG Advisor and other ICT4SIDS and SPACE Tools.
• Project2: Students expand the results of Project1 by developing an integrated enterprise architecture and populate the smart center with Web Services. They use SPACE ePlanner to produce the same results and compare/contrast their results.
• Project3: All teams collaborate with each other by using different B2B scenarios and protocols supported by SPACE and the ICT4SIDS site.
• Coursepack Integration, discussed below, is used to support all these projects.
