Abstract

This article describes how the Department of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS) at Temple University uses a computer based "bulletin board" system to improve our Systems Analysis and Design Courses. We found that the use of the bulletin board improves the communication skills of students and increases the productivity of both instructor and student. While the article is descriptive rather than empirical, we believe it offers useful insights for other instructors who share our concerns and are interested in the use of computer based communication technology to improve teaching.
