Motivating Factor

How can we retain computer information systems (CIS) students? A decline in enrollment similar to that which occurred in the 80’s (Mawhinney, Callaghan, & Cale, 1989) is the motivating factor for this question. A google™ search on declining enrollments in information systems brings up reports supporting this trend. DePaul University, for example, had increased undergraduate enrollments “in all colleges but the School for New Learning and the School of Computer Science, Telecommunications and Information Systems” (DePaul University, 2003). A report from the California Community College system listed the top 15 curricular areas of declining FTE’s (Perry, 2003); Computer and Information Science and Computer programming made the list. Our own Computer Information Systems (CIS) and Computer Science programs have fewer students enrolled.

Various inequities and challenges facing Latinx students in community colleges continue to be documented. Yet, less documented are the challenges associated with advocacy efforts to support Latinx and other underrepresented Students of Color within the community college sector. There is not often pause to consider: who advocates for Latinx students? When and how does this advocacy take shape? In this article, we offer Chicana testimonios as institutional research (IR) professionals to highlight ways we experience, respond to, and challenge institutionalized racism and systemic obstacles to advocate for Latinx students in the California community college system. We situate our testimonios within a critique of the pillar of neutrality associated with the institutional research profession and argue for a critical examination of the ways in which IR may play an active role in the perpetuation or the dismantling of educational inequities in California community colleges.

Case Based

In this chapter, we report the results of a study comparing current student’s perceptions of computer information systems with student’s perceptions of 12 years past. We found that students continue to prefer more interaction than they perceive an IS career to provide. Given this we (1) report on some programs available in high schools to interest students in a CIS career and (2) discuss case or problem-based learning as a means to provide students with the interaction they desire and show them that it is an integral part of a CIS career.

The Impact

The growth of the Internet and the impact of the Community College system in Indiana have had a profound impact or the traditional two and four year programs in Computer Information Systems (CIS). Purdue University Calumet has recognized this impact and has revised and implemented an innovative Internet/Web B.S. program and related courses to support it. The B.S. program was developed and refined with input from the University’s local business/industry advisory committee. This paper presents the new four year Internet/Web B.S. program, which gives students a strong foundation in basic concepts and a high degree of employability.

Technology acceptance model (TAM) used to enhance understanding of technology acceptance in the workplace as healthcare environment. The use of technology in the healthcare environment improves healthcare outcomes, control the healthcare data, improve collaboration and skills among healthcare staff and reduce organizational expenses. Recent literature studies done indicated lack of adoption of technology as the health information systems (HISs), this be affect on collaboration among healthcare staff this in turn affect on healthcare outcomes and medical research findings. This research attempts to address the aforementioned issues by applying the extended TAM based on relevant models. This research identifies success factors influencing the adoption of HISs in healthcare environment. This research employed the exploratory qualitative research method to collections the required data. Results of this study shows that factors such as data confidentiality "security and privacy" becoming more important in addition to current factors such as perceived usefulness, ease of use, quality” system and information". Beside to, privacy factor have   significantly   © 2018 JASET, International Scholars and Researchers Association Author Biographies Asmaa Hatem Rashid Department of Information Science , Faculty of Computer Science and IT, University of Malaya, Kuala Lampur, Malaysia Shady Gomaa Abdulaziz Department of Information Science , Faculty of Computer Science and IT, University of Malaya, Kuala Lampur,  Malaysia Norizan Binti Mohd Yasin Department of Information Science, Faculty of Computer Science and IT, University of Malaya,  Kuala Lampur, Malaysia
