摘要：Engaging students’ interest in courses that are required outside of the students’ major field is sometimes a difficult task. This is especially true when the courses have a large number of enrollees. This research-in-progress studies undergraduate management information system (MIS) courses at an AACSB-accredited school. The scope of material in these courses is extremely broad. MIS is the enabler for a large percentage of current business practices, yet for many business students this is the only time they will be engaged in this material. Therefore it is especially important for students to get a good understanding of the material in this MIS course before they continue their academic and professional careers. For this research the methodology is quasi-experimental with data collected from students by survey instruments and examinations. This Research focuses on immediate students’ learning outcomes, long-term learning outcomes, satisfaction with the active learning process, perception of learning with the active learning process and students’ preparation for class. Results of this study should benefit instructors and researchers in the MIS area.
