1. General information
This subject establishes a solid foundation for the understanding of Information Systems in organizations, becoming familiar with methodologies and technologies used in their management. Promoting the skills and attitudes to work and learn autonomously, integrate knowledge, manage information, develop their critical spirit so that they can analyze and solve the problems that arise, related to information management through computer applications.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of United Nations (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/), specifically, the learning activities planned in this subject will contribute to the achievement of target 4.4 of Goal 4, target 5.b of Goal 5 and target 8.2 of Goal 8.
2. Learning results
1. Identify the Information Systems of an organization/company as a key element for its day-to-day operation.
2. Identify Information Systems as a key element for growth, improvement of competitiveness, and creation of new business formulas and/or products.
3. Know the basic concepts that make up information systems (data vs. information, knowledge, communications, ...) and the technological environment that currently supports them.
4. Know the basic parameters and typical phases that are associated with the development and implementation of an Information System in the organization.
5. Know the usual problems linked to these processes (communication problems, interference in the normal development of the business, maintenance, etc.).
6. Learn about successful cases of the use of Information Systems and the improvements obtained. These success stories serve as a baseline example.

5. Assessment system
Continuous assessment
Mandatory activities:
- Written tests and active participation (30%). Individual. It will consist of the completion of one or more tests and active participation in the different activities proposed in the virtual classroom.
- Information System Implementation Project (70%). Individual or team. Development of an original project of implementation of IS in a company, together with its corresponding memory. Two deliveries are planned during the execution process, in order to carry out formative and continuous assessment. Both deliveries will be graded separately.
Global assessment.
Mandatory activities:
