Today, MIS and IS Education play an important role in digital transformation of organizations, countries, and individuals. However, IS education and educators face several challenges in the current environment, including fast-changing technologies, the reoccurrence of the digital divide, preparing students for the changes in the profession, updating the curriculum to integrate new and emerging ideas and 3rd and 4th platform technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, augmented and virtual reality, blockchain, and internet of things among others. The interdisciplinary nature of IS and MIS is creating significant challenges as well.
