Technology has changed and continues to change the manner in which today’s organizations manage business. The business of education is certainly not immune to technological change. Decisions concerning what, if any, technologies to incorporate into teaching require an understanding of the requirements of learning as well as the capabilities of technology. One approach to developing technological solutions to business problems is the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) developed by Peter Checkland. This article presents a practical application of SSM to the problem of teaching a distributed case-based course.

Keywords: SSM, soft systems methodology, distributed courses, theory implementation
