For this module, the Project will take the form of encounters with online Internet-based resources of various forms but with the purpose of identifying different types of information systems that are being used in the real world.
Here you can find information about the different types of information systems available out there.

Please write a 2-3 page paper, structured as follows (please use these headings):
- Define an information system and types of information systems
- Provide three examples of information systems used in real life (from your experience or from the sites you visited) and tell us what type of information systems they (for example, an information system used by a cashier in a grocery store is a transaction processing system because it registers all the transactions).
- how this is related to the learning objectives of this module?

Information System
An Information System is an integrated set of software, hardware, people, data, and procedures, which are designed to facilitate generation of information for decision-making, and other uses in an organization. Business firms depend on information systems to execute various operations. As a result, anyone managing an information system needs not only be a computer-literate, but also have a general knowledge of the organizational structure and functions as a whole. The commonly known types of information systems include decision support systems, management information systems, and transaction processing systems.
Transaction information system collects and processes data got from everyday transactions in an organization. These transactions can be payment, deposit, order or reservation. Transaction information systems (TPS) are among the first information systems designed to process business data. Initially, TPS used batch processing, which involves collection of data over a period, and then all the transactions were processed at the same time. As computer technology advanced, system experts designed online transaction systems, which process each transaction as it is entered. Some of the routine processing tasks, which use TPS include printing invoices, calculation of paychecks, registration of students or an online air ticket booking system where the travelers fill in data on their preferred travelling time and favorite seats, and the systems processes the data automatically (Davoren, n.d.).
As computers became more reliable for carrying out daily transactions, managers realized that they could adopt them in order to generate meaningful information for the management. Thus, it can be said management information systems evolved out of TPS. A management information system commonly known as MIS generates accurate and organized information that ...
