Instructor Notes Module 1: Course Overview Introduction This module provides students with an overview of both the Business Solutions Design Curriculum and this course. By the end of the module, students should have an understanding of the concepts and skills they will learn in the course. They should also be able to describe a project vision document, the first draft of which they will be able to create by the end of the course. At the end of this module, students will be able to: ! Describe how the course fits into the entire Business Solutions Design Curriculum. ! Describe how they will use the curriculum case study to apply the principles they will learn in the course. ! Describe the benefits they will gain by attending the course. ! Describe where gathering and analyzing business requirements fits into the MSF Process Model. ! Describe the components of a vision document. Materials and Preparation This section provides you with the materials and preparation needed to teach this module. Materials To teach this module, you need the following materials: ! Microsoft ® PowerPoint ® file P01_1585.ppt ! Module 1, “Course Overview” ! Activity 1.1, “Designing a New Type of Motorcycle” Preparation To prepare for this module, you should: ! Read all the module materials. ! Complete the activity. ! Read the Library material on the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF). Presentation: 35 Minutes Activity: 20 Minutes 2 Instructor Notes Module 1: Course Overview 2 Instructor Notes Module 1: Course Overview Activities Activity 1.1: Designing a New Type of Motorcycle This activity serves three purposes: ! It provides the students with an opportunity to get used to working on group projects. ! It helps students see that they already possess many of the skills needed to gather and analyze information. ! It provides you with the opportunity to assess students’ current skill level as it relates to the course material. Students may not be used to working in groups during a course. Periodically remind students of the time remaining to complete the activities so that they can keep on track. Questions to Ask Students The following questions can help start a discussion at the end of the activity. ! Which part of the process was most difficult for your team? ! How did your team decide to approach the problem? ! Did you draw from your previous project experience to develop a strategy for this activity? ! Do you have any questions about doing small group activities in this course? Instructor Notes Module 1: Course Overview 3 Instructor Notes Module 1: Course Overview 3 Module Strategy Use the following strategy to present this module: ! Business Solutions Design Curriculum In this section, you should provide a context for the current course by describing the entire curriculum. You can use the “Courses in the Curriculum” slide to describe how the courses relate to each other. Verify that students understand the purpose of the case study and how they will use it, both in this course and across the curriculum. Let students know that they will be able to read the case study during an activity in Module 2. ! Overview of the Course Use this section to set the stage for the entire course. Summarize the objectives so students will understand the concepts and skills they will learn in the course. Describe the modules so that students can see the process they will use to gather, analyze, and present business requirements. ! Activity 1.1: Designing a New Type of Motorcycle As the first activity in the course, it is important to get students used to working within the time provided. Help students to get into the habit of reviewing the tasks of the activity and determining how much time they have to complete each task. Stay within the listed timeframes. If students finish early, bring the activity to a close. If you give students more time than they need to complete activities, they may lose their focus on the course content. ! Project Life Cycles In this section, introduce the MSF Process Model and then focus on the Vision Approved Milestone, particularly the vision document. You should cover the MSF Process Model just enough to provide context for the concepts and skills students will learn related to the Envisioning Phase and conceptual design. If students want to learn more about the MSF, refer them to the materials in the Library on the student CD and the other courses in the Business Solutions Design Curriculum. ! Looking Forward Use this last slide to verify students’ understanding of the MSF Process Model and where this course fits within that model’s Envisioning Phase. Next, emphasize the final product of the Envisioning Phase, the first draft of the vision document, which they will create in the course. Explain the role of the activities in slowly building toward that product. It is important for students to know that they will be developing a product that they can take away at the end of the course as a demonstration of their skills. 4 Instructor Notes Module 1: Course Overview 4 Instructor Notes Module 1: Course Overview Finally, provide an overview of what students will learn in Modules 2 and 3.
