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.
