Welcome to MIS2101
Welcome to MIS2101, Information Systems in Organizations. We will not be using Blackboard for this class. Instead, we’ll be using this site which is hosted by Community.MIS.Temple.Edu. This site is built on WordPress, a world-class open-source blogging tool. As part of completing the assignments in MIS2101, you will gain some experience with WordPress and other technologies.
Unlike most intro courses, this course has no required textbook. The traditional textbook has been replaced by a collection of readings that are freely available over the Internet. Another way you will find this class very different than most classes you will take at any university is that this class is “activity based”. With this type of class, there is a far less traditional lecture. We will use the time that is freed up from lectures to complete in-class activities that help students develop a deeper and more genuine understanding of the material that is discussed during our class discussions.
On this site, you will find all of the required course materials including the syllabus, links to the assigned readings, links to videos, assignments, and access to your grades for the course. In addition announcements will be made in class and/or on this site so it is important that you check this site regularly for announcements.
Final Exam and Grades posted
Final exam and final course grades are now posted in your grade book.
Good luck with your other exams and have a great holiday!

CRM Class Reading – broken link fix
Why does my business need a CRM system?
