Online Education: Issues and Opportunities

Track: IS in Education, IS Curriculum, Education and
Teaching Cases (SIGED)




The landscape of higher education continues
to evolve as an ever-growing number of institutions offer online education via
fully online or blended programs. Enrollments in online programs of all types
have risen steadily over the last decade with as many as 32% percent of all U.S
college students taking at least one online course[1].  Online education may well hold keys to
opening educational doors for a vast and under-served global population, however,
many obstacles to efficient and effective online education remain.  

We invite papers that shed insights into all
aspects 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 pedagogy

Technological advancements that support
online education
