Design Experiential Learning Activities for MIS Introductory Courses

Experiential learning activities (ELAs) that are industry-partnered and real-world problem-based can provide undergraduate students with concrete experiences of using information technologies in the field. Flow theory provides a theoretical basis to guide the design of ELAs, ensuring that the goals are clear, feedback is explicit, and the challenges and skills are balanced. Based on this theory...
