Abstract

Enrolment decline in Information Systems (IS)-related programmes has been a hot issue in academia and this affects the prominence of the Management Information Systems (MIS) course in the Masters of Business Administration (MBA) core curriculum. This paper uses a course-embedded measurement model based on Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) programme assessment steps to investigate the possibility of attracting more online students to MIS courses via providing quality education in the Online Learning Environment (OLE). The data analysis results reveal that course-embedded measurement and the related closing-loop efforts assure learning in MIS classes in an OLE mode. Providing quality OLE classes seems to be an effective channel for enhancing and maintaining MIS enrolment and, in turn, contributes to the double-loop learning and continuous improvement desired in the entire MBA programme.
