AMCIS 2021 - SIG education - Cooperative learning and new requirements for evaluation in online education		8/10/2021	8/10/2021	7:30 AM	9:30 AM	8/10/2021 7:30 AM - 9:30 AM Society and educational institutions broadly recognize the need for continuous, life-long learning. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the imposed change towards online learning showed that the assumption “context is leading” is just as important as a course’s content and internal organization. Cooperative learning, with a focus on knowledge exchange, must be implemented as an alternative approach to learning. This also requires a different approach to evaluation. That will be the focus of this workshop.

In this PDS organized by the College of Academic Leadership, we examine the transition points in academe – the first job in university administration – with the intent of demystifying the journey from faculty member to academic leader. The five panelists will be experienced current or former department chairs, deans, and associate deans.
AMCIS 2021 - Panel: Engaging Women in Information Systems: Where Are We Headed?		8/10/2021	8/10/2021	4:00 PM	5:00 PM	8/10/2021 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM The IS field has acknowledged it has gaps in gender and racial equity. Fewer women choose to study IS, as students or faculty, but how can we improve that? This panel will present current, ongoing studies and activities to collect data about the experiences of women and underserved populations lacking from IS academia and classrooms, including what types of data are needed, sources of this data, and how to begin collecting it from within universities. Panelists will present ideas from all three AIS regions, with special care to discuss how these concepts differ within and between regions. The goal of this panel is to identify missing but critical data related to diversity in IS and to spotlight important work being done to collect and analyze this data worldwide. Conference attendees will learn how they can participate in these efforts and discuss obstacles or barriers that they may face.

AMCIS 2021 - Employing User Stories & Use Cases Synergistically in the Practice & Teaching of Systems Analysis & Design		8/12/2021	8/12/2021	4:00 PM	5:00 PM	8/12/2021 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM SPONSORED BY: Prospect Press To describe functional requirements, agile approaches prefer the brevity of user stories over more detailed use cases. But many software projects are inconsistent with agile assumptions, leading to the familiar idea of elaborating user stories with use cases. However, little specific guidance exists for doing this. This workshop provides that guidance, including a tutorial example. Further, we illustrate how use case principles can improve writing user stories, even when use cases, themselves, are not employed. Presented by Gary Spurrier and Heikki Topi
AMCIS 2021 - Foundations of Process Theory		8/12/2021	8/12/2021	4:00 PM	6:00 PM	8/12/2021 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM This workshop presents (1) an understanding of theory; (2) the nature of process and identification of various types thereof; (3) how IS is a domain exemplified by process and why process theory should be welcomed in IS; (4) approaches to studying IS phenomena as process theory; and (5) developing "infrastructure' for evaluating process theory and establishing its credibility. Session will be participative and focus on participants' areas of interest. Participants will submit a short paragraph describing their interest in the topic and how they might use its content in the future.

Developing competencies in and leading programs focused on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is a way that university administrators can lead their institutions to be more representative of the communities they are embedded in. Five panelists with experience in leading EDI initiatives - from informal, ground roots efforts to structured programs - discusses their lessons learned from leading diversity.
