Curriculum Development & Teaching Innovation
New Courses/Programs Developed

1.  King, N  (2008)  'Management Information Systems', 
While the same course, a new textbook allows a greater focus on thinking through the uses of information systems in business rather than what they are. The changes are in response to advisory board concern that students can’t apply their admittedly strong tool skills to problems and effectively communicate results.

2.  King, N  (2008)  'Data and Information Management', 

3.  King, N  (2008)  'Challenges of Project Management', 
Focus of course changed from using tools to developing the context in which such tools are used

4.  King, N  (2007)  'Project Management', 
A new course for ICT students (initially) that will be adapted to a mix of ICT/MBA students in Spring 2008.
