Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS’20)
August 12-16, 2020
Salt Lake City, Utah
Track: Virtual Communities and Collaboration
Minitrack: Virtual Collaborations for Knowledge Sharing and
Learning
Description:
Virtual collaborations can facilitate knowledge sharing and shared
understanding to support learning and training. It also provides
opportunities to interact with experts or peers to facilitate
learning. Virtual environments provide platforms for individuals
to collaborate and acquire information in a variety of domains.
These environments present new channels to educate others on
various topics, as well as learn about a particular domain from
others’ knowledge and experiences. Organizations are utilizing
virtual collaborations to support knowledge sharing with existing
and potential customers, stakeholders, partners, and employees.
However, concerns, such as privacy-related issues and performance
issues of virtual collaborations, also arise with virtual
environments.
Hence, this minitrack seeks to explore the opportunities as well
as the issues associated with virtual collaborations for knowledge
sharing and learning. We encourage paper submissions that study
the development, use, and assessment of virtual collaborations for
knowledge sharing in learning and training contexts from a variety
of perspectives (e.g., individual, organizational, and
international). We welcome papers that study the application of
virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning as well
as challenge such applications. This minitrack is open to both
theoretical and empirical studies, and is open to all research
methods (e.g., survey, field study, case study, experimentation).
Potential topics may include (but are not limited to):
* Development of frameworks for evaluating virtual collaborations
for knowledge sharing in learning and training contexts
* Theoretical models describing the development, use, and
assessment of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and
learning
* Research on novel, innovative uses of virtual technologies and
data analytics for virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing
and learning
* Examinations of implementations, adoptions, and outcomes of
virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning along
with factors influencing these activities
* Meta-analyses and meta-syntheses of research and the
implications for virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and
learning
* Issues, limitations, and barriers surrounding virtual
collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning
