Students in BBUS22070 Management of Information Systems tested the online platform of ordering pizzas used by “Dominos”. They tracked in real time the process of ordering, making, transporting and ultimately delivering of the pizza.
The class used the experience to test the reliability of the online platform, from the initial online order, to payment and ultimately to assess if the order was correctly prepared and delivered in a timely manner. The final test of course was the taste test – of which all agreed was a success. This exercise was created by our new sessional lecturer Dr Homa Freeman, a newly graduate PhD in the area of Information Technology. Students agreed this was a great way to test IT systems and online platforms, as well as share a tasty dinner together.
The class is planning an excursion to visit the Avondale College IT team, to see the challenges of a real world IT division within a higher education provider. Great to see students doing practical applications of the theory they learn in the classroom.
