Abstract

Integrating experiential learning with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) in an introductory Management Information Systems (MIS) course is often challenging for faculty due to time, cost, and technical constraints. This paper presents a practical, hands-on ERP teaching approach grounded in experiential learning theory that addresses these barriers. We describe its implementation in an introductory MIS course, report student learning outcomes, and provide recommendations for instructors interested in adopting a similar framework.
