Submission Categories in Teaching Track

Papers may fall into one of the following categories:

  *   Teaching Case
  *   Tutorial
  *   Curriculum
  *   Pedagogical Study (Completed or Ongoing)
  *   Infrastructure

No firm page limit is specified for the manuscript; however, it is expected that the manuscripts succinctly present the material.

All submitted manuscripts will go through a double-blind review process.

Authors of accepted papers will have the option of publishing: (a) the complete manuscript OR (b) an extended abstract (single-spaced 2-3 pages) as part of the symposium proceedings on AIS eLibrary. If authors choose to publish only the extended abstract, authors will retain copyright of the manuscript submitted for review and feedback.

When submitting camera-ready version of the manuscript, we suggest that authors share any pertinent data with the symposium attendees as feasible (optional, but encouraged). This guideline is meant to encourage knowledge sharing with the broader academic community and replicability of research results.
