Description

IS curriculum and education have seen significant changes in the past two decades. IS curriculum contents have evolved drastically as a result of advances in technology. For example, the ways to develop IS have moved from writing individual programs to assembling components to leasing software as a service. As another example, the goals of deploying IS have moved from improving efficient and effectiveness to attaining competitive advantage to creating entirely new business models. Moving forward, there are emerging competency models that can potentially guide development of IS curriculum.

Beyond IS curriculum, IS education has also seen significant pedagogical changes. For example, case-based teaching, class debates, and experiential learning have broadened the range of pedagogical alternatives available to IS educators. Moving forward, MOOCs and flipped classrooms are likely to further disrupt existing practices by offering IS educators new pedagogical arrangements. Technology enhanced assessments coupled with learning analytics would allow personalized feedback to be given to learners on a massive scale. Emerging technology would continue to open up new pedagogical possibilities.
