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…

Addressing the educational disparity regarding equitable access and optimal services is a continuing challenge for government agencies mandated to promote quality education as a fundamental human right for every child. The Ministry of Education, Jamaica, is one of such government agencies facing challenges of ever-growing demands from population…

ChatGPT is having an impact on students, and information systems (IS) and computing academic professionals alike. Our goal for this paper is to help faculty and students know the conditions in which generative AI such as ChatGPT should or should not be used. To that end, we describe the development of a 2x2 matrix. On the horizontal axis we have…

High-quality state early intervention (IDEA Part C) data systems enable state staff to use data to improve their programs and results for children and families. The 2021 State of the States Survey data indicate that most early intervention (EI) programs had state data systems with essential child-level data elements, including child outcomes. In…

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its subfield, machine learning, have become indispensable across various industries. With the aid of low-code/no-code development platform like KNIME, understanding and applying machine learning algorithms has been simplified for various fields, including business and information systems, as these platforms reduce…

Artificial intelligence (AI) education is becoming an advanced learning trend in programming education. However, AI subjects can be difficult to understand because they require high programming skills and complex knowledge. This makes it challenging to determine how different departments of students are affected by them. This study draws on…

Higher education institutions (HEIs) are encountering numerous challenges in today's era of globalization and internationalization. Among these challenges, digital transformation stands out as one of the most demanding, as it involves using ICT to transform business processes. The successful implementation of such systems and related services…

Geospatial expertise draws on and recognizes a vast array of seemingly unrelated interconnections allowing the geographer to find solutions to otherwise incomprehensible problems. Geospatial thinking involves both time and space, acknowledges cause-and-effect relationships of geographic phenomena at multiple scales, and recognizes the impact of…

Purpose: Informational conflict and uncertainty are common features across a range of sources, topics and tasks. Search engines and their presentation of results via search engine results pages (SERPs) often underpinned by knowledge graphs (KGs) are commonly used across tasks. Yet, it is not clear how search does, or could, represent the…

In order to cope with sports events, it is difficult for cameras to accurately extract exciting moments during the competition. This article constructs a multimedia information system for sports sociology education. In terms of methodology, low-density architectures are used to measure and encode sparse signals, and the signal is reconstructed at…

Although various approaches have been used in diabetes self-management education (DSME) programs, the effect of DSME programs on glycemic control is controversial. This study aimed to compare the effects of structured individual education and combined education on glycemic regulation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study included T2DM…

Aim/Purpose: This study identifies gamification element preferences based on Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) characteristics. It measures the influence of preferences on learning motivation through a pre-experimental design of one group pre-test post-test. Background: Incorporating information technology in education has led to the introduction…

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the integration of emerging technology (ET) integration in the information systems (IS) curriculum. Background: Modernizing the IS curriculum is consistently needed to meet the demands of the workplace. The IS2020 curriculum model recommends adding emerging technology learning into the IS…

Modeling is a key scientific practice and is usually computer-implemented, but it is challenging to teach because it seems high on presuppositions, for example, coding. This design-based research study presents a geography course offered during the 2019/20 winter semester in computer modeling, with no prior coding knowledge. It was implemented in…

Providing quality hands-on exercises in a GIS course is essential in enhancing problem-solving skills and student-led learning activities. However, the strategies and instructional methods of managing hands-on exercises, which have been used in traditional face-to-face classes, will require new interpretations in a virtual learning environment and…
