<p>Online teaching and learning have become increasingly common in higher education institutes (HEIs).
<br>
Many HEIs realize the growing importance of online learning in IS education and are offering
<br>
online IS programs or courses to students. However, designing, developing and teaching an online
<br>
IS course effectively is often a challenge. Many IS instructors are new to online teaching and need
<br>
orientation and training for their own readiness in designing, developing and teaching IS courses
<br>
in the online environment. It is recognized that effective faculty are key to student success in
<br>
online courses and to the success of online programs (Jones & Meyer, 2012). Therefore, it is
<br>
imperative that administrators and instructors in schools of information systems learn more
<br>
of the best practices and issues of designing, developing, teaching, and assessing online IS programs and courses.
</p>
<p>We are looking for academic ideas and practices that can vastly improve the online IS education.
<br>
In order to improve the quality of online IS programs/courses and provide a forum for
<br>
timely knowledge sharing and in-depth presentation of recent advances in online IS
<br>
program/course design, development, teaching, learning and evaluation, we invite submissions
<br>
of high-quality, innovative and insightful articles.<br>
<br>
For this special issue of JISE on Online IS Education for the 21st Century, we invite submissions of high-quality,
