More specifically, the project goal was to facilitate the students to acquire skills of building models of organizational structure and behavior through analysis of internal and external documents, and interviews with employees and management. An important skill that practitioners in the information systems field need to possess is the skill of modeling information systems. The main problem with acquiring modeling skills is to learn how to extract knowledge from the unstructured reality of business life.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 To achieve the goal, a solution was introduced in the form of a computerized environment utilizing multimedia to simulate a case of an apprenticeship situation. The paper gives an overview of the problem that the solution addresses, presents the solution and reports on the trial completed in a first-year undergraduate course at Stockholm University.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 The results of the trial indicate that using rich multimedia along with a case-based learning approach did improve the overall performance of the students. It was also shown that both students\u2019 and the teachers\u2019 attitudes toward the solution were positive.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 The solution presented in this paper, using computer simulation in teaching\/learning by focusing on an apprenticeship situation, can be reused by other university teachers, especially in the Information Systems discipline. This solution can thus be used in teaching, system design, requirements engineering, business analysis and other courses typical for information systems.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/itse-04-2015-0004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,1]],"date-time":"2015-06-01T04:35:46Z","timestamp":1433133346000},"page":"137-154","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Simulating apprenticeship using multimedia in higher education"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ilia","family":"Bider","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Henkel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stewart","family":"Kowalski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erik","family":"Perjons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020122303482792300_b1","unstructured":"ALARA (2002), \u201cAction research\u201d, available at: www.alarassociation.org\/pages\/al-and-ar\/action-research (Accessed April 2015)."},{"key":"key2020122303482792300_b2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bergin, R. , Ayers, M.K. , Boberg, J. , Bolander, K. , Courteille, O. , Dev, P. , Hindbeck, H. , Leonard, E.E.II , Stringer, J.R. , Thalme, A. and Fors, U.G.H.
