In this paper we describe an instructional tactic that promotes individual learning. The tactic was developed to cope with the relatively high IS students' failing rate and to support the development of effective learning habits (to be used in collaboration contexts as well). The learning process is based on a unique individual assignments design for a Computer Organization and Programming course. The accompanying study revealed encouraging quantitative and qualitative results. Overall student's failing rate decreased by 59% and an increase in students' motivation and learning accountability was observed. We conclude with a discussion regarding the results and their implications.
