*IS EDUCATION MINI-TRACK: Innovation in IS Education: Creative Approaches
to Today’s Opportunities & Challenges*

In today’s technology- and data-centric global world, the role of the IS
educator is both exciting and challenging. We are helping students to be
prepared to deal with competitive pressures, global issues, and complex
problems. These challenges – coupled with ever-changing technologies,
evolution of systems, generational differences, and gaps between curriculum
outcomes and industry requirements – make this a challenging time to be an
IS educator or an administrator responsible for IS education. Every
challenge does, however, also provide an opportunity for those who are able
to adapt and innovate.


This mini-track will explore a variety of innovative topics that will
assist educators in tackling these challenges and contributing to the
successful development of IS professionals. Topics appropriate for this
mini-track include, but are not limited to, the following:

   - Tool selection: strategies for tool selection for concept
   reinforcement and development
   - Professional development and re-tooling strategies for IS educators
   - Beyond the classroom: strategies for student career planning and
   development
   - IT/Data for Good: papers that address the use of servant
   leadership/service projects in curriculum
   - Curriculum development for Generation Z
   - Content development strategies for current trends: big data, cloud,
   IoT, etc.
   - Innovative curriculum strategies
   - Innovative modes of delivery
   - Internship and work study strategies
   - Creative corporate partnership strategies
   - Supporting life-long learning through innovative program models
   - Integrating delivery models in innovative ways
   - New modes of active learning for IS education
   - Cross-organizational collaboration as a source of innovation
   - Innovative strategies for supporting IS programs in the global context
