This paper describes the development of a new information systems course on the topic of information systems architectures. The process by which this course was developed and taught is interesting for two reasons. First, the course topic remains sufficiently new so that few traditional course development resources such as textbooks are available to instructors and hence other resources need to be sought out. Second, the course was developed to be taught as a distance education course, using two-way satellite-based video and the world wide web as the vehicles for communications and remote instruction. The practical experiences described in this paper may serve as a basis for other instructors on which to base their course preparation efforts.

Keywords: Innovative Course Development, Distance Education, Information Systems Architecture
