Sustainability Teaching and Learning in Information Systems: Reflections on Over a Decade of Experience

Abstract

Despite calls to integrate sustainability topics into information systems (IS) curricula, there is little concrete direction on how to do it. The purpose of this paper is to share the author’s experience in developing and delivering a master’s level course on information systems and sustainable development. The paper highlights key considerations related to designing such a course, discusses the advantages and limitations of different approaches, and offers practical suggestions for IS faculty who seek to develop similar courses for their own programs.
