The ORID in IS Classes Read the article in the Information
Systems Education Journal
The
ORID in IS Classes is
an article in the academic journal "The
Information Systems Education Journal." Abstract Asking questions to promote learning and sharing is important to all disciplines. In the IS discipline, graduates also need to learn how to help their project stakeholders articulate their needs and wants. Therefore, IS instructors should model how to ask questions that are applicable inside and outside the classroom. However, many IS instructors are not prepared to ask the appropriate questions that will help students provide responses to stimulate their understanding and learning of the materials presented. In turns, students do not have a good model to emulate when they work with each other and their stakeholders. This paper introduces the Focused Conversation or ORID method, used in facilitating collaborative work, as an appropriate tool to help IS instructors prepare to engage students and enhance their participation in the classroom. Real-life examples of applying the ORID method and the advantages gained when the method is used in IS classes are also presented. ISEDJ is
a double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal published by the
Education Special Interest Group ofthe Association of Information
Technology Professionals (Chicago, Illinois). ISEDJ is published
online in connection with the Information Systems Education Conference,
which is also double-blind peer reviewed. The
journal acceptance review process involves a minimum of three double-blind
peer reviews, where the both the reviewer is not aware of the identities
of the authors and the authors are not aware of the identities
of the reviewers. The initial reviews happen before the conference.
At that point, papers are divided into award papers (top 15%),
other journal papers, unsettled papers, and non-journal papers.
The unsettled papers are subjected to a second round of blind peer
review to establish whether they will be accepted to the journal
or not. Those papers that are deemed of sufficient quality are
accepted for publication in the ISEDJ journal. Currently the overall
acceptance rate to the journal is about 60% Dr.
