Provided a workshop on using multimedia instructional material in classroom instruction at the Southwest Federation of Administrative Disciplines Conference, Spring 1998. Other workshop presenters: T. P. Cronan, R. Chaney, and S. Spann.

Conducting research into factors that may predict how well students do in online courses.  Currently collecting data on students' preferred learning style, computer skills, performance in web-based and traditional classes, and the impact of team learning.

A paper based on the ongoing research in ethical decision making has been submitted to Information Systems Research (ISR) and currently under review.  This paper presents a comprehensive ethical decision-making model and report empirical results. Three journal articles have been published based on previous data collection and results. 

On the Improvement of User-Developed Applications through the Use of a Systems Development Methodology (Completed January 1998)
• The focus of this research was on applying systems analysis and design techniques to end-user developed applications to address problems with accuracy errors, omission errors, and lack of documentation.
• This research consisted of an experiment conducted over the Internet. End users submitted information through forms and e-mail attachments. They received training from CBT modules they downloaded from the experiment web site.

Teaching Innovations

• Developed and taught a new special topics class:  Oracle database and application development software.

• WebCT has been incorporated in all my classes to enhance the delivery of course material to students and to provide more readily available feedback on scores for assignments and exams..
  


• Developed course material and taught a new class in the Business Computers Systems major: System Design, Development, Implementation (BCS 450). This course is a project-oriented, senior-level class that enables students to integrate and apply skills from several courses. This course involves management and interpersonal skills for project planning and team work and technical skills for completing systems development life cycle.  This course also has students work on their written communication skill by writing reports on the project and documenting the software developed. In the past two semesters students in this class have had real-world experience in developing database applications for a few departments at NMSU and for some local businesses and government agencies.

 
• Hands-on experience has been integrated into the Systems Analysis and Design course (BCS 350) by having students work in teams on a real-world project. This project is done in the latter part of the semester after students have learned technical skills in project management (PERT/CPM), data modeling (ERD), and process modeling (DFD). In past semesters BCS 350 student teams have developed applications to
  • Manage the assignment of tutors to students for Student Services at NMSU,
• Track athlete performance for a coach at NMSU,
• Track articles, topics, and authors for a researcher at NMSU,
• Manage delinquent accounts for a local branch of the state tax and revenue department, and
• Manage inventory for a local government agency.

 
• Currently working on computer-based instructional material using WWW delivery and multi-media technology. Some modules have been developed already that illustrate computer concepts (for example, the bubble sort algorithm and the parity bit).  This material is meant to re-enforce material covered in the classroom.

 
• Developed a self-assessment for students to help gauge what students know or don't know about productivity software (word processing, spreadsheets, etc.). This assessment helps in tailoring the coverage of software skills in BCS 110 (Introduction to Computerized Information Systems).
