The Technological, Educational, and Organizational Impacts of Pandemics Mini-track

The world has faced an unprecedented catastrophe in the COVID-19 pandemic. The unusual circumstances created by COVID-19’s rapid spread provides a unique opportunity to study the role of Information Systems and Technology in supporting people through this pandemic and beyond. This minitrack considers topics related to the pandemic’s impacts on jobs and work (for both employers and employees), education and educational institutions (including learners and educators), family and home life (including life-changes for adults and children), and global society.

In this minitrack, we welcome submissions of full research papers or research in progress, including theory articles, literature reviews, teaching cases, or studies employing qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, and design science research methods.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, technology’s role in addressing:

* Opportunities and challenges in the era of COVID-19 * Consequences of COVID-19 on work, education, and society * Working from home during lockdowns * Adjusting to the “new normal” * Best practices in education and work contexts * Digital transformation and the future of work and education * Using ICT to foster learning, working, and social activities * Social isolation and well-being * Work-life boundaries and conflicts * Implications for policy and practice * Nontraditional virtual teams * Social and business norms * Disaster plans and business continuity planning * Resource sharing challenges * COVID-19-related financial implications for businesses and software vendors
