Good day Colleagues,
Please consider submitting a manuscript to the Information Systems
Education and the Future of Work minitrack ( # 5 under IS in
Education, Curriculum, Education, and Teaching Cases (SIGED)).
This track is interested in scholarly work that focuses on IS
education from the perspective of workforce development. Due to
the evolving nature of information technologies in an era of data
analytics, open source development, social media, and
cybersecurity, the IS curriculum is seemingly lagging. It does not
address the new technological advancements and changing workplace
requirements quickly enough. This, along with rise of
micro-credentialing in non-standard IS settings implies that
evolving the IS curriculum becomes an existential necessity. The
field as a whole cannot consider itself to be immune to national
and local level conversations that evolve around cost of higher
education, workforce preparation, and value of degrees. Having a
curriculum that is able to address these issues in an innovative
fashion is the only long term strategy.
This track intends to produce models for future-centered
curricular guidelines. We envisage research projects that
investigate the IS discipline's identity through its curriculum
and this curriculum's place with respect to other computing
disciplines (Computer Science and IT), and as importantly, how
these curricular guidelines address the modern workplace.
Proposals for this track may include curriculum research, course
planning and materials, case studies, and other IS
education-relevant projects in addition to others:
* Curriculum (design, planning, implementation, etc.)
* Pedagogy
* Course planning and design
* Case studies
* IS projects
* Mobile IS learning
* Information literacy
* IS vs. IT vs. CS discussion
* Experiential IS learning
* IS planning for workplace preparation
* Challenges of IS education for the workplace
Paper must be submitted through the conference website. For more
