Abstract
We present assessment results from using an active learning technique, group role-play exercises, to enhance student learning. We adopt the exercises in an introductory Information Systems course to help students learn about the role of ERP systems in supporting cross-functional business processes. Our preliminary results from both direct measures and indirect measures suggest that students enjoy the exercises and that the exercises have helped with student engagement as well as learning. We are continuing to collect additional data. We will also discuss the implications and suggestions for future improvements to the use of role-play exercises.
