Proceedings of the 2008 International Conference on Informatics Education
The International Academy for Information Management (IAIM), the Educational Special Interest Group of AIS, is dedicated to promoting excellence in information management education, practice, and research. The objective of IAIM is to provide a forum in which interdisciplinary researchers and educators in information systems can exchange ideas, techniques, and applications.
IAIM sponsors an International conference at which competitively selected peer-reviewed papers, tutorials and panel discussions are presented. A Best Paper Award is announced and all papers presented are published in either IAIM's on-line journal (for high quality completed papers) or the conference proceedings, which are distributed free on CD-ROM to conference registrants and via Internet for IAIM members.
Sponsorships
IAIM also sponsors the Alpha Iota Mu honor society for information systems majors as well as the Journal of Informatics Education Research which publishes refereed articles addressing excellence in MIS education, and promotes effective teaching of what an information professional needs to know to manage IS effectively -- including technical skills, interpersonal skills, managerial skills & frameworks.
