Mini‐track title: Online Education: Issues and Opportunities Track: IS in Education, IS Curriculum, Education and Teaching Cases (SIGED)

Description:

The landscape of higher education continues to evolve as an ever-growing number of institutions offer courses via fully online or blended programs. Enrollments in online programs of all types continue to grow with as many as 37% percent of all U.S college students taking at least one online course.

The proportion of academic leaders who consider online learning a critical long term strategy increased from 48.8% in 2002 to 70.8% in 2014 and yet only 28% say their faculty members accept the "value and legitimacy of online education." [1] These figures illustrate the potential of online education to broaden students’ choices for collegiate-level learning as well as and the many obstacles to its efficient and effective implementation.

We invite papers that explore the opportunities and tackle the challenges of online education. Empirical, theoretical, or position papers are welcome. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following:

Online learning models and pedagogyTechnological advancements that support online educationStudent, faculty and societal perceptions of online educationEvaluation and assessment of student achievement in online contextsBest practicesIssues and challenges, e.g., retention, plagiarism, performance evaluation, management, curriculum design accreditation, scalability, service and learning material customization.
