With recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) has been identified as particularly useful for organizations seeking to create value from data. However, as ML is commonly associated with technical professions, such as computer science and engineering, incorporating training in the use of ML into non-technical…

This study tested gender-based differences in performance of students in science, engineering, technology, and math (STEM) Information Systems (IS) courses. Data collected from 94 STEM-designated information systems courses (STEM-IS) courses and 2,189 students over a 9-year period were analyzed using ANOVA. This study tested for differences in…

This article investigates the impact of integrating authentic and contextualized activities into teaching on students' knowledge construction, grounded in social constructivism principles. The research focuses on applying the real-project approach within a "Mini-Project Workshop" module for third-year Information Systems Development…

This study explores the potential of large language models (LLMs), specifically GPT-4 and Gemini, in generating teaching cases for information systems courses. A unique prompt for writing three different types of teaching cases such as a descriptive case, a normative case, and a project-based case on the same IS topic (i.e., the introduction of…

Most business schools require students to take at least one technical Management Information System (MIS) course. Due to the technical nature of the material, the course and the assessments tend to be anxiety inducing. With over three out of every five students in US colleges suffering from "overwhelming anxiety" in some form, we study…

This paper describes the development of a training module to improve students' individual online behaviors. We developed this module to integrate cyber hygiene concepts into a hands-on learning activity where students develop and secure a mobile web application using the Salesforce Developer tool. This new module aims to prepare the next…

Hollywood screenwriters worry about Artificial Intelligence (AI) replacements taking over their jobs. Famous museums litigate to protect their art from AI infringement. A major retailer scraps a machine-learning based recruitment program that was biased against women. These are just a few examples of how AI is affecting the world of work,…

Quasi-internships can have a transformative impact on information systems' capstone courses. Realizing this potential depends on pedagogical design, course delivery, and student engagement. This paper presents a teaching method based on experiential-learning pedagogical design to engage students via quasi-internships to improve career preparedness…

Since ChatGPT exploded onto the scene in October 2022, the media has been breathless with their discussion about how it is going to impact many aspects of life and work. In order to bring this new reality of generative AI into the "Introduction to Management Information Systems" classroom at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, we…

Prior research explored the effects of receiving review sessions for business core courses on standardized test results obtained via the Major Field Test in Business (MFTB) and the Comprehensive Business Exam (CBE). The present study contributes to the literature by examining the impacts of single core course and topical area review sessions on…

This research answers the call for Information Systems (IS) faculty to actively embrace rapidly advancing AI tools in teaching. We experimented with redesigning learning activities in two courses, requiring students to use GenAI, to aid student learning and teach responsible use of GenAI. The results show that students in the experimental group…

Information systems courses must adapt to meet the unprecedented demand for well-trained information security (InfoSec) professionals, but they cannot competently fill this gap without also ensuring that students are fluent and confident in foundational skills, both technical and behavioral. How to teach behavioral topics in InfoSec management is…

This paper presents a novel approach to designing an online, open-source course in systems librarianship, an area of librarianship that may be perceived as complex and intimidating because of the technologies involved. The course design focuses on making systems librarianship more approachable for library and information science students who may…
