Abstract
In recent years, a variety of Web 2.0 technologies have surfaced as a means for collaboration and information sharing. While countless students and businesses have embraced these emerging technologies, information systems (IS) educators may not be applying these technologies in their classrooms. The purpose of this paper is to initiate the design of an on-going research study that will explore current role of Web 2.0 technologies, specifically wikis, blogs, and social networking sites in information systems classroom instruction; assess faculty perceptions of pedagogical benefits of Web 2.0 applications; describe current faculty use of Web 2.0 technologies; and how to adopt these technologies with informed decisions. This study should promote discussion on whether or how these emerging technologies can influence the way we educate future IS professionals. Results may also prove helpful to educators in implementing Web 2.0 technologies into the IS curriculum and to help prepare students to utilize these collaborative tools in business settings.
