[AISWorld] 2nd Call for Contributions - BI Congress 3 Teaching Track: Driving Innovation through Big Data Analytics Orlando, FL on Dec 15 and 16, 2012

[Babita Gupta]

Dear Colleagues,


If you are teaching or plan to teach in the fields of decision support
systems, business intelligence, or analytics, please consider contributing
to our teaching track in the upcoming pre-ICIS BI Congress 3 (
http://www2.commerce.virginia.edu/bic3/index.asp).


The formal call for contributions is as follows:
====================================================================
Today's students expect relevant, innovative, and real-world classroom
experiences. However, it is challenging for academics to stay abreast of
changes and trends in technology, especially in the analytics field, to be
able to teach effectively and meet student expectations. This track seeks
teaching cases and pedagogical materials to better educate future knowledge
workers by providing them knowledge and skills in DSS, BI, and Analytics.
Both vendor-neutral and vendor-specific pedagogical content is welcome.
Selected submissions will be presented within the Teaching Track sessions.
All submissions to the track will be considered for a BI Congress
Innovation in Pedagogy Award, to be presented at BI Congress 3. All
accepted Teaching Track submissions will be featured on the Teradata
University Network (TUN), a peer-reviewed outlet. In addition, select high
quality submissions (e.g., teaching cases) will be fast-tracked to targeted
journals.


All accepted papers will be published in the BI Congress 3 conference
proceedings and on the TUN website. Authors will retain copyright ownership.

Teaching Track Submissions:
Focus of the teaching track is on sharing material and pedagogical
experiences in a workshop-like setting. Authors are encouraged to submit
material related to DSS/BI/Analytics courses at introductory or advanced
level that fits into the following categories:
. Pedagogical materials include any kind of content that can be used for
teaching  DSS/BI/Analytics. They should be accompanied with a short
description or teaching note that explains how to apply the materials, in
sufficient detail to allow the reader to replicate it in the classroom.
Pedagogical materials can include:
o Syllabus
o Class assignment or exam
o Class project
o An innovative approach to delivering DSS/BI/Analytics content
o Best practices in delivering DSS/BI/Analytics content
o Data sets that can be used by other faculty to augment their pedagogy
o Hands-on software experiences and software tutorials
o Creative applications of Teradata University Network resources
. Teaching case studies that can be used to enhance student learning about
specific concepts/topics such as illustrating an organizational application
and lessons learned. Teaching cases should provide rich stories of
individual organizations' management and technological initiatives,
illustrating a specific message of interest to DSS/BI/Analytics
instructors. These papers will not only tell the story, but also provide
analyses of the events and their outcomes. A teaching case should be
accompanied by a brief (e.g., one page) teaching note.

Paper Formatting Guidelines:
Please use the ICIS submission guidelines to the best of your ability.
Teaching Cases should follow the guidelines for ICIS teaching case
submissions; Pedagogical materials can be adapted to meet the needs of the
content.
