Students' Perceptions of the Use of a Computerized Simulation in Teaching Management Information Systems

Abstract

Student perceptions of the management information system course, taught with a computer simulation, are examined. In two Sections, the simulation was used along with lecture and in one section, the simulation was used with lecture and cases. All sections perceived the use of simulation in a very favorable way. The students appear to feel that the simulation was a very valuable part of the course. Only a few significant differences existed between the students which used the simulation as well as cases and those students which used the simulation, but no cases.
