Approach to learning and assessment

Teaching Methods in the BBus (BIS) are designed to allow you to become an independent learner so you will be able to extend your capabilities once you graduate.

Methods of teaching may include:

  • Classroom Teaching: This utilises a range of teaching and learning techniques including lectures, guest lectures by practitioners, class presentations, group discussion and student-led discussion. This style of learning is designed to maximise your understanding of the curriculum content and skills. It is designed to provide an environment where you can ask questions and seek feedback as well as contribute to class discussion with your peers. Classes may be offered in intensive mode over weekends or in week-long blocks.
  • Problem-Based Learning:  You may be in a small group or team, or work individually to apply knowledge to solve problems and examine case studies. This technique is designed to simulate the experiences you will encounter working as a logistics and supply chain practitioner
  • Cooperative learning: Enables you to work in collaborative or team-based tasks in class or using discussion board
  • Flexible Delivery: The program may incorporate extensive use of online teaching resources in the provision of support resources for you, and for accessing research sites of relevance to the course content.

Assessment in the BBus (BIS) is designed to give you the opportunity to demonstrate your capabilities. Various forms of assessment will be used throughout the program since the assessment you undertake will be appropriate to the objectives and student learning outcomes for each course.  Successfully completing the assessment tasks ensures the professional computing bodies and prospective employers of a level of achievement in the capabilities outlined in the program.

Assessment may include:

  • Formal examinations: which provide the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding and application of fundamental principles to either practical or theoretical issues;
  • Research projects: which assess your ability to assimilate, analyse, critically reflect on information
  • In-class tests: provide you with timely feedback on understanding within a course and allows feedback for  further development of skills and capabilities during the semester;
  • Formal reports: to demonstrate that you can gather and arrange business and technical information into readable documents;
  • Formal presentations: enable the development of verbal communication skills and organisational abilities;
  • Reflective papers: where you reflect on what has been learnt and the methods utilised to enhance learning.

Work integrated learning

The application of theoretical learning to a discipline-related work situation is an essential part of the course. Your WIL industry placement will take place in the third year of your course and will comprise of assessed professional or vocational work in a work context in which feedback from clients and others from industry and community is integral to the experience. Your WIL experience will be integrated with academic learning prior to, during and after the WIL year. It will be necessary before you undertake the WIL year to enrol and complete the The BIS Professional course.

RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice. As a student enrolled in this RMIT University program you will:

  • undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice;
  • interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities;
  • complete these activities in real work contexts or situations;and in addition:
  • these interactions and the work contexts provide distinctive sources of feedback to you to assist your learning.

Any or all of these aspects of a WIL experience may be simulated.

During the program you will experience a variety of teaching and learning approaches in the courses undertaken. In many cases, the approach reflects the unique aims of each course; specifically the knowledge capabilities and generic capabilities. You will be treated as an ‘adult learner’ meaning you will be expected to take responsibility for your own learning in a mature and independent way.

In addition many of the courses in your degree directly address the role of IS in the workplace and specifically the final semester course BIS Capstone Project requires you to work in a team and build a real information system for a real client.
