Teaching Computer Information Systems Via Distance Education: A Researched and Personal Perspective Alan R. Peslak Penn State University Worthington Scranton Dunmore, PA 18512

Abstract: Teaching computer information systems via distance education is a challenge for both student and faculty. Much research work has been performed on methods of success for teaching via distance education. Less work has been undertaken on how these methods fit into the unique issues associated with computer information systems. This paper reviews much of the work done on identifying issues of distance education and then presents how the proposed success factors can be implemented in a computer information system program. The author has taught five different distance graduate courses in CIS for over two years and incorporated these factors. The paper concludes with a review of these methods and a sample syllabus.

Keywords: online teaching, distance education, computer information systems education, distance education success factors
