Greetings 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 information about the process, please visit: https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/submissions/call-for-papers/
