CALL FOR PAPERS 

Do you teach Information Systems/Technologies?  Submit your work to the
Special Interest Group for Education (SIGED: IAIM) Conference to focus on IS
in Educational Research, and then stay for ICIS in Auckland!

AIS SIGED: IAIM will hold its annual International Conference on Informatics
Education and Research on December 12 - 14, 2014 – Auckland, New Zealand

The AIS Special Interest Group for Education:  International Academy for
Information Management (SIGED: IAIM) is dedicated to promoting excellence in
Information Systems education, practice, and research. The objective of
SIGED is to provide a forum in which interdisciplinary researchers and
educators in information systems can exchange ideas, techniques, and
applications. SIGED sponsors an international conference in December at
which competitively selected peer-reviewed papers, tutorials and panel
discussions are presented. A Best Paper Award is selected and announced in
the conference. 

All papers accepted after a double-blind peer review process will be
published in the conference proceedings CD-ROM. Other papers, extended
abstracts, panel discussions and tutorials will also be published in the
on-line proceedings. Authors of accepted papers will have the opportunity to
make revisions prior to submitting a final version. Best papers will be
fast-tracked for possible publication in the Journal of Information Systems
Education (JISE).

You are invited to submit theoretical, empirical, or descriptive papers
(case studies), tutorials, and panel proposals related to the education
theme of SIGED's conference. Suggested topics include, but are not limited
