Abstract
This paper presents an information technology based instructional model for effective learning in management information systems programs and modules for students in undergraduate education. This model is primarily centered on the traditional in-class learning model. Information technology is used in a unique and novel way in order to create a learning environment which not only engages students in the learning process but also enhances their problems solving skills, analysis and decision making abilities. The model embeds information technology in projects in order to hide complexities but without compromising achievement of learning objectives. It also uses information technology in a simulation mode in order to demonstrate key concepts or learning themes, to simulate main themes presented in case studies and to simulate problems behaviors. The model employs other creative techniques in order to deliver its overall goals.
