Flipping Database Design and Development

CIS405 Database Design and Development is a lecture core for computer information system majors in the computerized classroom. Traditionally the course was taught with database topics with Oracle. The goals of the project are to add data warehouses with SAP ERP business warehouse (BW) in the course. For the redesign project, the lecture is offered face-to-face, but all the course materials will be online for the flipped classroom and remedial purposes. Moodle is used as course platform: (1) to communicate instructions for class activities, including course slides, in-class active learning exercises, and solutions to them (2) to download Oracle and SAP vendors' course activity materials (3) to display student performance progress in the gradebook (4) to submit all assignments and projects prompt feedback online and (5) to host online quizzes and exams. Adding data warehouse and SAP ERP BW to the last three weeks in the quarter makes this technical course very intensive, but students feel they have learned tremendous new knowledge and skills which can get them prepared for their future IT job market.
