[AISWorld] ICIS 2019 CFP - Professional Development Workshop (PDW) Track

[Adrian Yeow Yong Kwang (SUSS)]

We invite you to submit a proposal to the "Professional Development Workshop" (PDW) Track, a new track at ICIS 2019 (Munich, Germany, 15.-18. December 2019).



The PDW Track distinguishes itself from other tracks by offering tutorials and other active learning modalities for a variety of topics related to information systems (IS) research and teaching. The objective of this track is to facilitate sessions that actively engage the participants so as to develop and update their professional skills.



A research related example of an ICIS PDW session might tackle theories or methods relevant to IS research by providing participants with an expert-led 'grand tour' of the research in this area or a debate on it. This could then be followed up with pre-registered participants being able to workshop their papers. A teaching related example of an ICIS PDW session might illustrate a new technology-enabled technique that is presented in a hands-on manner that mirrors how it might be used in graduate education. As these examples indicate, these sessions in this track need to be different from ICIS panels. Also, a PDW might string together a number of 90 minute slots, thus supporting a wide variety of session formats with a maximum of 270 minutes.



The PDW proposal must not exceed ten pages and must conform to the ICIS 2019 submission template. The ten-page count must include all information (i.e. topic, organizers, abstract, keywords, text, figures, tables, references and appendices). Proposers may attach a video clip or similar to their submission to illustrate the intended format.



Required Elements of PDW Proposals:

*         Topic

*         Organizers: Names and positions of those who will organize the PDW

*         Abstract

*         Workshop Introduction: General description of the topic, goals and take away of the PDW (e.g. better understanding of a method, theory or subject; promote disciplinary convergence among participants)

*         Workshop Description: Description of the topic areas and organizers

*         Relevance for ICIS

*         PDW Structure: Description of timing of the session and the format of interaction among organizers and with the audience.

*         References

*         Logistical Notes



Organizers whose proposals are accepted will be given an opportunity to submit a short paper for review. Those accepted short papers will be included in the ICIS proceedings and some of these papers will be selected for consideration by CAIS for possible publication.



Review Criteria

*         PDW Topic: The topic draws a strong audience

*         PDW Learning Experience and Format: PDW offers an active learning experience of high relevance to the professional development of the participants (it should not replicate the regular program)

*         Interaction/Participation: High potential for interaction between and participation among PDW attendees

*         Creativity/Innovation: The PDW design displays novelty

*         Organizer Expertise: PDW leaders (e.g., organizers, presenters/panellists, mentors) exhibit requisite expertise in topic/technique
