Q5. Describe an example of an IS that you have experienced. Describe the business
processes it addresses and how the IS changed the business.
One of the best examples of an information system (IS) I have encountered is the Learning
Management System (LMS) at LNBTI University. The way that students access and interact
with their course materials and academic information has been greatly changed by this
technology, which is essential to the administration of many academic activities at the
university. I witnessed how skilfully technology was incorporated to raise the standard of
educational operations. The system provided an easy-to-use interface for organising courses,
optimising navigation, and facilitating quick access to educational materials. Completing
coursework, submitting assignments, and receiving comments became more efficient
processes. This ensured a smooth and organised experience for both teachers and students.
The learning management system essentially made clear how critical it is to improve and
modernise educational services.
1. Enhanced Accessibility: Students can access course materials and information from
anywhere with an internet connection, promoting flexibility and accessibility.
2. Efficiency and Convenience: The LMS streamlines various administrative tasks, such as
assignment submission, grading, and course management, making these processes more
efficient and convenient for both students and faculty.
3. Communication: The system has improved communication between students and
instructors, enabling timely responses to queries and promoting engagement in academic
discussions.
4. Reduced Paperwork: The digital submission and grading of assignments have reduced the
need for physical paperwork, making the university more environmentally friendly and
reducing administrative burdens.
5. Centralized Information: All academic information and resources are centralized within the
LMS, making it easier for students to find what they need without the need to search through
physical documents or visit various offices.
6. Data Analysis: The LMS generates data that can be used for analysing student performance
and engagement, aiding in data-driven decision-making by the university administration.
In summary, the Learning Management System at LNBTI University has transformed the way
students and faculty interact with academic information and manage various aspects of
education. It has increased efficiency, accessibility, and convenience, thereby enhancing the
overall educational experience for everyone involved.
