As one of the challenges in the global educational reform, there is need to come out with a course that is capable of delivering the 21st century knowledge to the students in all areas of studies of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This is to ensure that competent graduates are produced from HEIs. No doubt, the Iraqi post-Sadam war has led to poor state of technology and education in the country which has affected the AIS course since the global trend has demanded for a technology-driven course. This result in Iraq lag behind compared to other countries, even amongst developing countries. Thus, there is need to determine the factors that need to be considered while developing AIS course in Iraq in order to make it of internationally accepted standard. Therefore, this paper presents a conceptual framework in determining AIS course development factors in Iraq.
