Overview

Developing and Managing Information Systems Course

In this course, you will learn about how plans for information systems can be implemented and once they are implemented, how they should be managed.

Considering how systems may be implemented leads us to consider what methods can be used, whilst determining how they should be managed requires us to consider what control needs to be applied to the implemented system to ensure its continuing success.

After completing this course, you should be able to:

  • explain the concept of a systems development life cycle (SDLC)

  • critically assess the relationship between the traditional SDLC and other approaches to systems development

  • identify the role of prototyping in systems development

  • assess the benefits of using object-orientation in systems development

  • compare alternatives for acquiring new systems

  • identify the main requirements for secure systems.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
