Aims
-To analyse a given industry oriented case-study.
-To develop a computer based plan /design for a solution to a problem scenario.
-To introduce students to the importance of structured analysis and design in order to produce effective and efficient
diagrams which aid in the production and implementation of computer-based information systems.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Describe the importance of information systems and their viability in organisations
2.
Explain fact-finding techniques used for analysing the requirements when developing information systems
3.
Transform information into meaningful diagrams for a database implementation
4.
Design and develop a database using suitable diagrams
5.
Demonstrate how a database can be tested and used to extract meaningful information
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:-Identify what information is and consider fact finding techniques
-Define the stages within the feasibility study
-Identify and develop functional and data modelling techniques in order to produce Data Flow Diagrams and Entity Relationship Diagrams
-Design and develop a database using the diagrams created from a relevant case study ensuring that correct data types, relevant formats and validation masks have been included and their importance to minimize data entry error
-Consider the importance of screen design and navigation paths
-Identify the need for security and maintenance when using databases
-Evaluate the possible changeover methods available to organisations
Module Overview:
This module enables you to identify the importance of information and how information can be transformed into developing logical designs in order to develop a working database. This database will manipulate data to produce meaningful information for the end user. You will participate in student-focused learning activities based on a combination of formal lectures and practical, experiential learning in laboratories, with supporting tutorials and seminars designed to reinforce and increase your learning experience.
