PRESENTATION:

Due to the complexity of the current enterprise data management where millions of records should be handled and stored, Information Systems (IS) have become a strategic decision.

Small and big companies have invested during last years in different IS as ERPs, CRMs, SCMs, BI….and therefore importance of data exchange has increased dramatically. Having a unique data model that allows information exchange has become necessary.

Informatics engineer should be prepared to understand, design, implement and maintain those systems where all these information is managed.

Target of this subject is to prepare students to understand IS systems (property or not) and to provide the capacity to use tools that coordinate the data exchange between them.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES AND ACTIVITIES:

Teaching and learning methodologies and activities applied:

Teacher will follow those learning methodologies with the purpose of competences stablished in the subject development:

• Theoretical-expositive Lessons: presentation of the theoretical concepts used during the practice development. During those sessions first steps towards competences acquisitions will be performed. It will be encouraged the active involvement of the students via exercises and questions to increase the comprehension of the concepts and techniques explained.

• Practical Sessions: application in practical exercises of the concepts and techniques presented during the expositive lessons. Teacher will control the performed student tasks to facilitate the correct acquisitions of competences.

• Tutorship Sessions: competence acquisitions are provided using the work of some expert people observation and interactive discussion about practice exercises. There will be sessions dedicated to problem resolution by the teacher, so the student could do same exercise in an autonomous way.

• Project Oriented Learning in a cooperative environment: realization of a small-medium team project will enforce the cooperative learning and the social skills of the students, what is a key factor for a successful professional future.

• Research: to increase students interest in the subject, some short research works about historic and current technologies challenges will be proposed.

• Case studies: step by step execution of an easy software project.

• Seminary Sessions: students will present their exercises to the rest of the classroom. This will generate the subsequent discussions.

• Learning based on real scenarios and issues: analyse of real cases related with the subject.

In addition, to optimize competences the teacher recommends following those learning methodologies:

• Active attitude during the magistral sessions, asking doubts and answering to questions. Doubts not solved from the beginning could accumulate and will difficult subsequent learning.

• Study and personal understanding of concepts presented during the expositive lesson same day of the class. Resolution of possible doubts during current session, maximum next class. Most of the problems of assimilation and comprehension start from the lack of autonomous work about the previous class materials.

• Execution of exercises, practical questions and readings proposed by teacher. Some not mandatory tasks are as important as mandatory ones. Working in practical problems facilitates the assimilation of theoretical concepts and to appreciate its utility.

• Curious and proactive attitude, of the material delivered to students.

• Group work collaborative and active, so student gains self-steam and learnt how to interact with other people.

• Personal reflexion about the presented subject: Are they relevant? What is the utility of this knowledge? In which level it is going to be useful to me in my professional future? Those questions help students to control learning and to make it more effective and significative.

• Utilization of the personalize tutorship. Teacher books some weekly time to solve personally any doubt related with the subject. A student that really wants to profit a subject should know which element he has to progress in his knowledge and how to make use of them.
