Lesson 1: Introduce the Environment Georgia State University is a 4 year state university founded in 1913 with enrollment of 31,500 students in their Fall 2010 semester. The school is located in downtown Atlanta. The university offers 62 fields of study with 250 degree programs offered through six colleges. One of these colleges is the J. Mack Robinson College of Business. This school offers programs in Computer Information Systems, along with numerous other business offerings. The CIS programs range from certificates to PhDs. The use of the internet is increasing and the programs offered by the CIS department are designed to make the student marketable in today’s world. The department is starting to incorporate newer technologies such as SharePoint for classes.

Lesson 2: Identify the Problem. The website that hosts the information regarding the CIS programs and department information has the problems listed below: 1. Each link opens a new window 2. The information is outdated on many of the sites. 3. Many of the links don’t work. 4. It is not representative of the caliber of the educators. 5. Too much scrolling 6. Duplicate information 7. Needs newer technology, such as Flash or Silverlight. 8. It should attract students, including the younger crowd. 9. It’s not as user friendly as it could be.

Clearly identify the problem your team is there to solve/research. I only see that the CIS website has several problems with it and I need to know why you are there as well.

Lesson 3: Identify the Solutions. //(Come up with solutions to solve the problem)// Lesson 4: Evaluate the Solutions. //(Compare the solutions against each other. What does one solution address that the others do not? If there are assumptions, what are they?)// Lesson 5: Evaluate the Ethical and Social Issues. //(What ideas are compatible or incompatible with the problem and solutions?)// Lesson 6: Propose the Best Solution. Lesson 7: Conclude your project experience.
