This paper presents a learner-centered pedagogical framework for teaching the Information System Factory (ISF) concept using a flipped classroom and project-based learning approach. Originating in the 1980s, the ISF vision anticipated industrialized, component-oriented information system development, but could not be fully realized due to technological limitations at the time. Advances in cloud infrastructure, AI-assisted development, and low-cost computing now make this vision practically accessible within educational contexts.

The proposed framework integrates flipped classroom pedagogy with hands-on system development activities across the full System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), with particular emphasis on the construction and integration phase. Conceptual content is introduced through pre-class materials, while synchronous sessions focus on coached, collaborative system assembly using open-source tools and single-board computers such as Raspberry Pi. AI-assisted coding sup- ports component selection and exploratory learning, while small-group coaching enables individualized feedback and reflection.

The framework employs Mediathread as a collaborative platform for multimedia annotation and reflection, enabling students to connect theoretical concepts with practical implementation. The ISF concept has been applied in multidisciplinary contexts including Business Administration, Cultural Heritage, and the In-ternet of Things, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability across domains.

Rather than presenting a controlled evaluation study, the paper contributes a design-oriented instructional model informed by teaching practice and formative observations. By integrating flipped classroom principles, project-based learning, and an ISF-inspired development workflow, the framework offers a transferable approach for educators seeking to bridge conceptual understanding and authentic information system development in contemporary higher education.
