CALL FOR PAPERS *Innovation in IS Education: Creative Approaches to Today's Opportunities and Challenges*
In today’s technology- and data-centric global world, the role of an IS educator is both exciting and challenging. We are helping students to be prepared to deal with competitive pressures, global issues, and complex problems. These challenges—coupled with ever-changing technologies, evolution of systems, generational differences, gaps between curriculum outcomes and industry requirements, and the evolving disciplinary landscape—make this a challenging time to be an IS educator or an administrator responsible for IS education. Every challenge does, however, also provide an opportunity for those who can adapt and innovate.
This minitrack will explore a variety of innovative topics that will assist educators in tackling these challenges and contributing to the successful development of IS professionals. Topics appropriate for this minitrack include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Tool selection: strategies for tool selection for concept reinforcement and development - Professional development and re-tooling strategies for IS educators - Strategies for enhancing students’ ability to analyze implications and potential consequences of planned systems - Beyond the classroom: strategies for student career planning and development - IT/Data for Good: papers addressing the use of service projects in program curriculum - Curriculum development for Generation Z - Content development strategies for current trends: analytics, big data, mobile, cloud, IoT, AR/VR, machine learning, AI, etc. - Innovative curriculum strategies - Innovative modes of delivery - Internship and work study strategies - Creative corporate partnership strategies - Supporting life-long learning through innovative program models - Integrating delivery models in innovative ways - New modes of active learning for IS education - Cross-organizational collaboration as a source of innovation - Innovative strategies for supporting IS programs in the global context
