Description
Advances in Information Systems (IS) are constantly changing the
way we work, live, and learn. IS has impacted the way we
communicate and collaborate for decades. However, the critical
importance of IS was brought to the forefront by the COVID-19
pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic suddenly and dramatically impacted
all aspects of human life, most notability the traditional workday
and education. Organizations found themselves in a situation where
they were racing to rework traditional face to face situations and
experiences using IS.
While we are all ready for the pandemic to come to an end, some of
the changes and effects of COVID-19 will likely remain. This
special call of papers seeks to explore how IS supports work,
life, and learning during a pandemic. Example topics include, but
are not limited to:
* Tools for remote work/education: working from home, meetings
with remote teammates
* New ways of getting work done: techniques or IS artifacts used
to allow for remote work
* Technologies for the future of work/future of education:
networking, augmented reality, virtual reality, wearable devices,
and human-robot collaboration
* Supporting worker well-being: maintaining work-life boundaries,
supporting physical movement, and facilitating work attachment and
detachment - mindfulness, student/worker remote support
* Creating new skills needed for remote work: opportunities to
learn new skills
* Inclusion and accessibility: technology that is built for
equality and technology that supports all abilities
* Security and privacy: protecting work situations from malicious
actors and maintaining Privacy
* Novel ways of measuring outcome: new types of assessment for
remote work
* IS applications that support future jobs, work practices, and
education
* Software adoption: adoption and continued use new software tools
