ACM 4th International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good
(GoodIT''24)
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.
