SELECTING CONTENTS FOR A NEW VIRTUALIZATION COURSE IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) TRACK
Issues in Information Systems · 2016
The purpose of this study is to research for contents for a newly developed course in computer technology virtualization.The course is being proposed in a new Information Technology (IT) track at a department of Management Information Systems (MIS).IT programs face more frequent changes in their curriculum than other programs.Some IT programs may follow familiar steps and develop new courses that are typical of IT courses (like a course in programming, database, systems analysis or other similar).However, a course in computer virtualization is atypical to other IT courses.Thus selecting contents for a course like this creates unique challenges that need to be addressed differently than those dealt with when introducing typical IT courses.This paper reviews literature on computer technology virtualization.The goal of this study is to select contents for inclusion in a new course syllabus in computer technology virtualization.Lately, our department has decided to add a new course in computer technology virtualization into our curriculum.Hence we started our research for topics for the course here.We intend to include the course contents we find from our research in this study into the syllabus for our new course.
