AMCIS 2020 - IS in Education, IS Curriculum, Education and
Teaching Cases Track:
Call for Mini-track Proposals
The IS in Education, IS Curriculum, Education and Teaching Cases
Track (sponsored by AIS SIGED) invites mini-track proposals for
the 26th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) to be
held on August 12-16, 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Cancun,
Mexico.
Information systems (IS) educators face a number of challenges in
the current environment, including dealing with declining
enrolments, preparing students for the changes in the profession
and updating curriculum to integrate new ideas and technologies.
These challenges make sharing IS education-related knowledge and
practices especially critical. This track provides an opportunity
for IS educators and researchers to exchange ideas, techniques,
and applications through a combination of workshops, panels and
paper presentations. In constantly changing times full of
technological disruption, much of our focus is on innovation,
disruptive technologies, and quality advances in IS and MIS
instruction and curriculum. Different submission topics are
welcome, ranging from papers aimed at improving the teaching of
specific courses to “big picture” papers intended to address broad
topics. Submissions using information systems technology to
advance education in other disciplines are also welcome.
Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following:
* Information Technology in Education
* Virtual learning environments
* Mobile education
* Pedagogical and Curricular Innovations in IS education
* Gamification
* Assessment of IS Courses and Curricula
* The importance of IS education in functional areas
* Building and integrating disruptive technologies into the
curriculum
* Social issues related to IS education
* Ethical issues in the IS curriculum
* Women and minorities in IS programs
* Improving enrolments in IS programs
* Teaching cases
