Special Track on Educating for a Sustainable Digital Future

https://blogs.uni-bremen.de/goodit2024/

( *** Submission Deadline: 17 May 2024 ***)

SCOPE

Exploring the development of our digital future requires a comprehensive examination of both individual and societal consequences. Placing excessive emphasis on individual gains, a common practice in individualistic societies for many years, has hindered the ability to grasp the complex dynamics and forward-thinking mindset essential for the sustainability of a contemporary society.

The evolving landscape of technology and the ongoing digital advancements have paved the way for creative applications in the field of education, allowing us to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances. When shaping a new approach for Information Systems and Information Technology education, it is crucial to emphasize the significance of individuals as key stakeholders and integral members of the wider community, while also recognizing the pivotal role of collaboration.

In this track, we are searching for papers employing innovative technology and approaches to educate the future generation towards world equality, collegiality, inclusion and a more cooperative learning for a sustainable digital future. Values which are emphasized in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which overall aim towards creating a more equitable, sustainable, and peaceful world.

This track is particularly relevant to IS/IT educators and those creative IT practitioners who care about developing a sustainable digital future.

TOPICS

Potential topics for papers include (but are not limited to):

• Sustainable and innovative education technologies and practices • Universal access to quality education • The new role for IS/IT in society and education and the value of information and knowledge • The role of cooperative learning for life-long learning and societal developments • Digital transformation: opportunities and challenges for education, work, and society • Digital learning environments: Innovations and trends • Equality, diversity, and inclusion in education, work, and society • The use of large language models and generative AI in education • New topics and domains in IT-enhanced education

We hope to attract the interest of IS/IT educators and those creative IT practitioners who care about developing a sustainable digital future.
