You are required to attend these sessions; failure to do so will seriously impair your capacity to complete the assessment items to a satisfactory standard. You will also be required to spend additional time each week reading the required course readings.
Seminar work: The seminar work is conducted in your own time. There is one compulsory checkpoint meeting for the group work that all group members must attend and one optional meeting. For both your individual and group work you are encouraged to arrange individual meetings with the course coordinator as required.
Course materials
All course materials will be placed in UniConnect. Information about access and registration will be provided in Week 1.

Lecture Course Description
Enterprise Information Management (EIM) encompasses the business and technology functions involved in the design and management of corporate information resources. The focus is on the design of useful and useable digital information products, their management across their entire lifecycle from creation to destruction and on the technologies and services to achieve this.
On completion of this course a good student will understand the range of user-centred design approaches and be able to apply them to the design of digital information products and services. Specifically students should be able to:
- select and apply appropriate methods for the design, development and management of digital information products
- take an holistic use-centred approach to information design and management that takes into account design, use and organisational requirements
- demonstrate an understanding of relevant information design and management theory and the limitations of such theory in practice
Students will gain experience in undertaking information needs analysis and designing a digital information service.
The lecture course is closely integrated with the EIM seminar and students are required to complete both the lecture and seminar to complete the full module.
