CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on the Impacts of Web 2.0 and Virtual World Technologies on IS Education

Guest Editor: Alan Rea, Western Michigan University, mailto:rea@wmich.edu

In this JISE special issue, we are looking for high-quality, innovative, and insightful articles related to research studies, instructional cases, teaching tips, and other discussions that examine the role that Web 2.0 and Virtual Worlds should - or perhaps should not - play within our physical, virtual, or mixed classroom environment. How can these technological tools be best used in our pedagogical toolbox? Are there instances where they are a good fit or perhaps merely an instructional band-aid? Consider sharing your insights, research, or teaching tips as we examine the promises presented, and the perils posed, by these ever-growing innovative, immersive (perhaps invasive), and pervasive technologies. Accepted articles will be published in Vol. 20 (2) of JISE. See the full CFP, URL: http://www.jise.appstate.edu/CFP-VirtualTechnologies.htm . Paper deadline is January 20, 2009. For more information contact the Guest Editor at the e-mail addresses listed above.

REVIEW PROCESS: Each article submitted to JISE is blind reviewed by members of the Editorial Board and/or other reviewers. Authors are informed of the results of the review by the Editor. The final decision for the publishing of any manuscript is made by the Editor.

JISE is indexed by ABI/Informs, EBSCO Business Source Complete, ProQuest, H.W. Wilson, and Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory.
