Minitrack Descriptions
Minitrack 1: Technology Enhanced Collaborative Learning (SIG ED)
Rassule Hadidi,
hadidi@uis.edu<mailto:hadidi@uis.edu>
Information and Telecommunication Technologies (ITT) continue to
play a significant role in facilitating collaboration among
individuals and organizations around the globe. In particular, the
use of collaborative systems for teaching and learning between
both faculty-students and students-students has increased
considerably. The focus of this mini-track is to explore
theoretical and practical ways to incorporate learning
technologies into teaching and learning, to foster engagement, and
to improve the overall educational environment. Possible research
topics include, but are not limited to: adoption and diffusion,
effective and mindful use of learning technologies, models of
collaborative learning, collaborative tools and technologies,
usability and user satisfaction, support and training structures,
the role of learning technologies and human educators in teaching
and learning, value-added impacts of using learning technologies,
efficient measurement and management of learning technologies,
outcome measures, sharing economy and online teaching, and
state-of-the-art practices.

The purpose of the General IS Education Mini-track is to host high
quality research papers and best practices on IS Curriculum and
Education topics that have not been covered in other SIGED
mini-tracks. The mini-track encourages submissions that
particularly focus on innovation and quality advances in IS/MIS
Education. Teaching cases as well as different types of
submissions including empirical, theoretical, qualitative and
quantitative research papers are welcome. Potential topics of
interest include, but are not limited to the following:
Online/hybrid teaching, MOOCs, flipped classrooms, Continuous
improvement in IS education, Pedagogical and curricular
innovations in IS education and their impact, Student engagement
in IS education, Mobile education, Use of social media in IS
education, Emerging technologies and IS education, Ethical and
social issues related to IS education, The importance of IS
education in functional areas, Improving IS/MIS Enrollments,
Under-representation of women and minorities in IS/MIS majors.

We all have nifty and useful assignments and projects that help us
engage students and make courses more interesting and useful to
students. This mini-track is the place to introduce and share your
assignments and projects with your peers and get feedback. This
mini-track will include assignments such as: Intro to MIS,
Database Systems, Systems Analysis and Design, Programming,
Project Management, ERP, Data Mining, Security, Big Data, Data
Communications, etc.
Minitrack 4: Innovation in IS Education: Creative Approaches to
Today’s Opportunities and Challenges (SIGED)
Heikki Topi,

Ryan Wright,
rtwright@virginia.edu<mailto:rtwright@virginia.edu>
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 factors, coupled with
ever-changing technologies, evolution of systems, generational
differences, and gaps between curriculum outcomes and industry
requirements, 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. Our proposed mini-track will give the conference
attendees an opportunity to explore a variety of innovative topics
that will assist in tackling these challenges and contributing to
the successful development of IS professionals. A Call for
Proposals will articulate further a set of sample topics,
including innovative curriculum strategies, innovative modes of
delivery, and supporting life-long learning through innovative
program models.
Minitrack 5: Usage of Simulations, Educational Games and
Gamification in Education
Jorge Martins,
jorge.martins@sheffield.ac.uk<mailto:jorge.martins@sheffield.ac.uk>
Simulations and games have existed even before the introduction of
computers. However, the potentials and drawbacks of using them in
education are still not fully understood. The research performed
in the field is also complex, the complexities being related to
simulations/game/gamification activity design or the complex
social and cultural context in which they are used. The purpose of
this mini track is to advance research and to provide a forum that
will allow a deeper understanding and knowledge sharing about the
relevant issues, opportunities and solutions pertaining to the
usage of simulations, educational games and gamification. It
provides an opportunity for educators and researchers engaged to
exchange ideas about their experiences and outcomes obtained from
integrating serious games, simulations, and gamification in
educational settings.
