Learning Design or, Design for Learning, is an emerging field of educational research and practice. Its practitioners are interested in understanding how the intuitive processes undertaken by teachers and trainers can be made visible, shared, exposed to scrutiny, and consequently made more effective and efficient. Arguably, most of the work in the field of LD has focused on the creative processes, on practices, tools and representations to support it, and on mechanisms for sharing its outputs between practitioners. Very little has been done in terms of the practices, tools and representations used for evaluating the effects of the designs. Several approaches emphasise top-down quality enhancement, which help designers to base their work on sound pedagogical principles. What is missing is the trajectory that would complete the feedback loop: the built-in evaluation of designs to see whether they achieved the expected outcomes. Learning Analytics are about collecting and reporting data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning environments. LA typically employ large datasets to provide real-time or retrospective insights about the effect and effectiveness of various elements and features of learning environments. Learning analytics are rooted in data science, artificial intelligence, and practices of recommender systems, online marketing and business intelligence. The tools and techniques developed in these domains make it possible to identify trends and patterns, and then benchmark individuals or groups against these trends. LA can help to identify at-risk learners and provide interventions, transform pedagogical approaches, and help students gain insight into their own learning. How Learning Design may help Learning Analytics? According to situational approaches, one of the prerequisites to obtain relevant outputs is not to isolate the analysis of educational data from the context in which it is embedded. This tandem between LD and LA offers the opportunity to better understand student behaviour and provide pedagogical recommendations when deviations from the original pedagogical intention emerge addressing one of the challenges posed by LA. How Learning Analytics may support Learning Design? Reciprocally, well-formulated learning analytics can be helpful to inform teachers on the success and outcomes of their learning designs. Learning analytics can provide evidences of the impact of a design in one or several learning situations in aspects such as engagement patterns in the activities proposed by the learning design, learning paths followed by the students, time consumed to complete the activities, etc. To sum up, LD offers LA a domain vocabulary, representing the elements of a learning system to which analytics can be applied. LA in turn, offers LD a higher degree of rigor by validating or refuting assumptions about the effects of various designs in diverse contexts. There is a natural and synergistic relationship between both domains, which has led to a growing interest and some initial effort in bringing them together. However, making these links operational and coherent is still an open challenge. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- This special issue solicits original research papers framing connecting learning design with learning analytics. The main topics of interest are: ● Practical examples of synergies between LD and LA. ● Methods and tools for developing data-enriched learning design and / or design-aware learning analytics. ● Application domains for integrated LD-LA approaches, such as teacher inquiry, learning at scale, and self-determined learning. ● Theoretical and conceptual foundations, opportunities and challenges for synergies between LD and LA. ● Meta-models and mediating frameworks for connecting and correlating LD and LA. ● Utilising Design Patterns as such meta-models, and as boundary objects for all of the above. =========================================== Submission guidelines and procedure ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: HICSS Minitrack IT-Enabled Healthcare Coordination Datum: Tue, 18 Apr 2017 08:53:01 -0400 Von: Susan Sherer <sas6(a)lehigh.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org HICSS 2018 January 3-6, 2018 Hilton Waikoloa Village, Hawaii http://www.hicss.org/ Minitrack: IT-Enabled Healthcare Coordination Track: Information Technology in Healthcare Healthcare coordination involves organizing and sharing information among all participants involved in patient care in order to provide safer and more effective care. It has been identified as a key strategy to improve effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of healthcare. While the need for healthcare coordination is clear, there are many obstacles and opportunities for research, including technical, behavioral, and organizational topics. Information technology (IT) has played a role in enhancing productivity through coordination in many industries, both manufacturing and services. However, nowhere is this role more critical than in healthcare, where IT has the potential to improve patient health and, in many cases, save lives, through improved coordination between various parties such as hospitals, providers, and patients. However, use of IT in healthcare presents some unique challenges and issues. This mini-track will focus on the design and use of technology as well as non-IT assets such as process changes, innovative IT artefacts, and interoperability standards to address these challenges to achieve and enable efficient coordination in healthcare. We invite papers that focus on, but are not limited to: - Challenges and opportunities associated with sharing electronic health information among multiple stakeholders - Impact of privacy and security concerns on coordination - Policy and compliance to facilitate health coordination - Patient and caregivers participation in coordination of health - Participation of payers and other stakeholders’ (pharma, device manufacturers etc.,) role in supporting coordination of health - Integrating medical devices with electronic health records (EHR) systems - Integrating patient engagement and self-management tools - Design of information technology to support patient centered medical homes (PCMH), accountable care organizations, and bundled payments - Organizational change management for care coordination - Care coordination and patient/population health - Impact of IT-enabled care coordination on patient/population health outcomes (e.g. hospital readmissions, cost efficiency) - Design of technology to support communication for effective coordination - Design of technology to measure effective care coordination - Coordinating care for underserved populations - Tele-health solutions to support and promote care coordination - Analytics-based solutions and optimization approaches for care coordination - Coordination of healthcare administrative processes, including external agencies MINI-TRACK CO-CHAIRS: Susan Sherer, Lehigh University, sas6(a)lehigh.edu Stefan Morana, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, stefan.morana(a)kit.edu Melanie Reuter-Oppermann, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, melanie.reuter(a)kit.edu IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for paper submissions: June 15, 2017 11:59 PM Hawaii time Notification of acceptance: August 17, 2017 Final paper due: September 22, 2017 Conference: January 3-6, 2018 INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: Please see http://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-and-minitracks/authors/ for author instructions. _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Fwd: [AISWorld] The Journal of Strategic Information Systems: CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR REVIEW ARTICLES
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] The Journal of Strategic Information Systems: CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR REVIEW ARTICLES Datum: Tue, 18 Apr 2017 08:29:22 +0000 Von: Galliers, Robert <rgalliers(a)bentley.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> THE JOURNAL OF STRATEGIC INFORMATION SYSTSEMS CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR REVIEW ARTICLES Bob Galliers, Sirkka Jarvenpaa and Suzanne Rivard At the Editorial Board meeting held at ICIS in Dublin in December, it was decided that The Journal of Strategic Information Systems would henceforth dedicate the June issue of the journal each year to review articles in the realm of strategic information systems, broadly defined. We therefore invite authors to submit proposals for the 2019 Review Issue of JSIS. We seek high-impact scholarly surveys of important research literatures in the strategic information systems domain. Such articles will provide a synthesis of recent research and highlight important directions for future inquiries. The Review Issue is open to proposals concerning established and emerging topics in the field of strategic information systems, including those dealing with research methods relevant for our context. Proposals should be submitted between June 1, 2017 and July 1, 2017 via JSIS’s online submission portal at: https://www.evise.com/profile/#/JSIS/login. (Please be sure to select Review Issue as the submission type.) Please note that proposals may not be submitted until June 1, 2017. Proposals should be double-spaced and include no more than ten pages of text. References, tables, and appendices do not count against this page limit. All proposals will be subject to editorial review. Please do not send complete papers. If you already have a draft of your paper, please note that in your proposal. Submissions will be evaluated with regard to the following criteria:  Relevance. The proposed manuscript should thoroughly review a significant and important research area within the field of Information Systems that has strategic impact and relevance. We also welcome reviews of important research areas that have yet to make a major impact in the field of Information Systems but argumentation can be made that the area is of strategic significance to the information systems field. Obviously, it is upon the authors to make a strong linkage of the research area to the IS system phenomena.  Scope of Interest. While papers must contribute to the strategic information systems literature and its developing agenda they must speak to scholars in cognate IS domains and fields, including, for example: Strategic Management, Organization Studies and Knowledge Management. Ethical, policy and societal issues can form an important feature.  Viability. The proposal should clearly feasible given the tight time constraints in place. More detail on the timeline is provided below.  Organization and Coherence. The proposal should follow a logical structure, read clearly, and thoroughly and comprehensively represent extant research in the topic area concerned.  Insight for Future Work. The proposal should convey important implications for future research, both in the context of the chosen topic and for the strategic information systems domain more broadly.  Timeliness/Contribution. Reviews should normally be on topics for which no recent reviews exist and the proposal should clearly indicate its intended contribution to knowledge. If existing reviews exist, they need to be identified and there needs to be compelling argumentation how the proposed review will contribute to the literature beyond the existing reviews. JSIS’s terms of reference can be found at: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/the-journal-of-strategic-information-syst…, and reviews of prior publications and proposals for future directions are provided in Gable (2010) and Galliers et al. (2012), for example. Submissions should clearly state which type of review is being proposed using for example the Paré et al. (2015) classification, namely, whether the review is Narrative; Descriptive; Qualitative/Systematic; Umbrella; Theoretical; Realist, or Critical in nature. Further helpful guidance is provided by The Academy of Management Annals http://aom.org/Publications/Annals/Information-for-Contributors.aspx, Rivard (2014), Rowe (2014) and Webster and Watson (2002). Due to editorial constraints, it is vital for authors to strictly adhere to the following timeline. We will not be able to consider late submissions. If you have questions, please contact us at: rgalliers(a)bentley.edu<mailto:rgalliers@bentley.edu>, Sirkka.Jarvenpaa(a)mccombs.utexas.edu or suzanne.rivard(a)hec.ca<mailto:suzanne.rivard@hec.ca> Relevant dates are as follows: June 1, 2017 and July 1, 2017: Proposals due to The Journal of Strategic Information Systems online at https://www.evise.com/profile/#/JSIS/login (please be sure to select Review Issue as the submission type) *August 15, 2017: Final decisions on proposals following initial feedback by the Review issue editors with input from the JSIS senior editors to authors invited to submit full papers. *January 15, 2018: Full draft of paper due. *March 15, 2018: Feedback to authors on full paper. *July 15, 2018: Revisions Due Expected Review Issue Published Spring 2019 *Please note that these dates are indicative as each paper may require different timing and a different number of revisions to make the final deadline.

We invite you to submit your paper to our minitrack . Regards, Anil Aggarwal Doug Vogel Yuko SJ Murayama CALL FOR PAPERS FOR the Mini-track Emerging Issues in Distributed Group Decision-Making: Opportunities and Challenges (Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology track ) for the 51st Annual HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES (HICSS-51<http://http/www.hicss.org/>) January 3-6, 2018 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village<http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/hawaii/hilton-waikoloa-village-KOAHWHH/ind…> Hilton Waikoloa Village at Waikoloa Beach Resort<http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/hawaii/hilton-waikoloa-village-KOAHWHH/ind…> www3.hilton.com Official site of Hilton Waikoloa Village - 62 acre oasis on the sunny Kohala coast of Hawaii Big Island. Book your Waikoloa Beach Resort getaway today. On the Beautiful Big Island Given the current turbulent state of world economy, outsourcing is coming under tremendous pressure. Companies are no longer providing long-term contracts but are renewing them based on deliverables from outsourced companies. This is putting tremendous pressure on teams to deliver quality product on time. Team adaptability and team configuration are becoming crucial to meet deadlines. Teams must be able to adapt quickly to the changing environment. Agile teams adapt and deliver quickly and provide maximum customer satisfaction. By definition, however, agile teams must be co-located. Can distributed teams be agile and adaptable? This requires careful team configuration. This mini-track examines the emerging issues related to team configuration and performance in distributed environment. Some research related to outsourcing of structured tasks has been done, but research related to emerging issues like diversity, cohesiveness, agility and adaptability related to group collaboration ac ross semi or unstructured tasks is still emerging. In addition, the "e (Internet)" to "m (mobile)" transformation is creating exciting opportunities for groups to make real time decisions in a mobile environment. Distributed teams, however, face many challenges of time, location, infrastructure, language, customs, socialization and politics. This is further compounded in globally distributed teams by diversity, nationality and cultural issues. As old issue are resolved, new challenges emerge that require knowledge from multiple disciplines such as information systems, social sciences, international management, leadership and political science. It is almost impossible for one individual to have expertise in so many domains, which makes this a very challenging but ultimately rewarding collaborative area of research. Given the richness and research potential of this area, it is essential to brainstorm and bring diverse points of view to develop underlying theory and frameworks.

In the United States alone 59% of the population plays computer games while revenues of the computer games industry exceed US $15 billion (ESA, 2014). However, in addition to the increased penetration of games, also the ways in which people play and employ games have become more varied. There are more different kinds of games available for a multitude of different platforms, mediated through different technologies that cater for differing gaming needs (Hamari & Keronen, 2017) and which use a wide variety of business models (Hamari et al., 2017). As a result, today, our reality and lives are increasingly game-like, not only because video games have become a pervasive part of our lives, but perhaps most prominently also because activities, systems and services that are not traditionally perceived as game-like are increasingly gamified. Gamification refers to designing products, services and organizational practices to afford similar experiences as games do, and consequently, attempt to create value and affect people’s behavior (Huotari & Hamari, 2017). In recent years, popularity of gamification has skyrocketed and manifested in growing numbers of gamified applications, as well as a rapidly increasing amount of research (Blohm & Leimeister, 2013; Deterding, 2015;.Marchand & Hennig-Thurau, 2013; Terlutter & Capella, 2013). Beyond HCI and game research areas, however, gamification has thus far remained a relatively small vein of literature in the areas of business, marketing, and organization studies. In these areas, organizations apply gamification primarily to motivate two stakeholder groups: employees and consumers (Bittner & Shipper, 2014; Conaway & Garay, 2014; Hofacker et al., 2016) While generally gamification is regarded as a highly potential technology, predictions about the diffusion of gamification have varied from extremely positive outlooks (e.g. Gartner, 2011; IEEE, 2014) to less optimistic ones (Gartner, 2012). In the academic realm, several studies in various contexts have shown that gamification can be an effective approach to increase motivation and engage users or participants in a given activity (Seaborn & Fels, 2015). However, it has also been predicted that a majority of gamification implementations are doomed to fail due to poor understanding of how to successfully design gamification (Morschheuser, Werder, Hamari, & Abe, 2017). This dearth in comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon continues to inhibit organizations from adopting and designing effective gamification approaches. Organizations use gamification in intra-organizational settings primarily to motivate and engage employees to adapt to job tasks or to develop skills (Vesa, Hamari, Harviainen, & Warmelink, 2017). Research has studied the transformation of work processes into a game-like experience and identified the outcomes of gamification in the workplace on both the organizational and individual employee level. As such, studies support the beneficial effect of gamification such as improved job satisfaction and enhanced employee productivity (Oprescu, Jones, & Katsikitis, 2014), but also point to unintended side-effects such as a decrease of employees’ intrinsic motivation (Thom, Millen, & DiMicco, 2012), the potential to cheating (Carignan & Lawler Kennedy, 2013; Makanawala, Godara, Goldwasser, & Le, 2013) and short-term engagement (Farzan et al., 2008). Due to short timeframes in studies around gamification, there may be novelty effects in the attraction of gamification. Therefore, more research is warranted that explores the short-and long-term effects of gamification on customer behaviors and on financial outcomes. Firms implement customer-geared gamification elements to enhance customer experiences and to encourage product adoption (Müller-Stewens, Schalger, Häubl, & Herrmann, 2017) and value-creating behaviors such as boost consumption, strengthen loyalty, deeper engagement, or positive word-of-mouth (Leclerq, Hammedi, & Poncin, 2017). While research has shown effects of gamification predominantly on short-term behaviors (Harwood & Garry, 2015) or behavioral intentions (Bittner & Shipper, 2014), more research is warranted that explores the short-and long-term effects of gamification on customer attitudinal and behavioral outcomes as well as on an organization’s financial and operational outcomes. It is of great interest to business practitioners, therefore, to answer how gamification should be implemented in a sustainable and profitable way. While research has focused mainly on exploring the game mechanics that drive participation, more research is needed that focuses on the mechanics and the underlying processes how firms, employees and customer may derive value from gamification. This Special Issue calls for papers that explore the phenomenon in general, regarding both the firm, the employee and the customer perspective. Research is needed regarding the underlying mechanisms and drivers for the successful use of gamification in business settings. We call for research across disciplines from engineering, social science and humanities and welcome research from information systems, marketing, strategic management, human resources, organizational behavior and other fields. The objectives of this special issue are to publish findings and exchange knowledge on gamification and its application in business contexts. We seek studies that explore gamification application targeted to any stakeholder group across all industry sectors. Theoretical, empirical, experimental, and case study research contributions are welcome. All contributions should clearly address the practical and theoretical implications of the research reported.

Service Oriented Computing and Applications http://www.springer.com/computer/communication+networks/journal/11761 Springer (EI indexed, Impact factor 2015: 1.355) CONFERENCE SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES With the fast development of the Internet, we are experiencing a shift from the traditional sharing of information and applications as the main purpose of the Web to an emergent paradigm, which locates people at the very center of networks and exploits the value of people's connections and relations. Web 2.0 has come to play a major role in this context by enabling a new generation of social networks and web-based communities and dramatically changing the way we use and interact with the Web. Social network analysis is also a rapidly growing field to investigate the dynamics and structure of intelligent Web-based networking and collaborative systems. Virtual campuses and organizations strongly leverage intelligent networking and collaborative systems by a great variety of formal and informal electronic relations, such as business-to-business, peer-to-peer and many types of online collaborative learning interactions. This has resulted in entangled systems that need to be managed efficiently and in an autonomous way. In addition, latest and powerful technologies based on Grid and Wireless infrastructure as well as Cloud computing are currently enhancing collaborative and networking applications a great deal but also facing new issues and challenges. Well-known social networks lack of knowledge management and adaptive solutions and the information shared among peers is rather static. Virtual communities of practice also provide poorly interactive solutions and lack of full support for organization, management, mobility and security. This conference covers the latest advances in intelligent social networks and collaborative systems that lead to gain competitive advantages in business and academia scenarios. The ultimate aim is to stimulate research that will lead to the creation of responsive environments for networking and, at longer-term, the development of adaptive, secure, mobile, and intuitive intelligent systems for collaborative work and learning. Industry and academic researchers, professionals and practitioners are invited to exchange their experiences and present their ideas in this field. Papers are solicited for in the following areas (not limited to) ? Social networking and collaborative systems ? Virtual campuses and collaborative systems ? Virtual Organizations and communities of practice ? Business-to-Business collaborative systems ? Peer-to-Peer computing and collaborative systems ? Online collaborative learning and interaction analysis ? Grid Computing and collaborative systems ? Wireless and Mobile technologies for collaborative systems ? Cloud computing and collaborative systems ? Context aware-computing for collaborative systems ? Semantic web technologies and services for collaborative systems ?
