- Abstract
Master of Business Administration (MBA) students positively evaluate an Information Systems (IS) course inclusive of a real-world business project compared to one that does not. Blooms' Digital Taxonomy -was used to redesign learning concepts covered in an MBA IS course by shifting from "Remembering" to "Applying" as the best teaching method for adult business professionals. A real-world group business project included in an accelerated online MBA program improved online evaluations; integrating IS concepts embedded within actual business processes resulted in a positive perception of the Management Information Systems (MIS) course. Our findings align well with Knowles' theory of Andragogy concerning the learning motivation of adult students. MBA IS Instructors must me experiential learning methods in a problem-solving context so that students understand the "Why" of the impact of essential IS business processes. This knowledge has immediate and lasting effects on student careers.
