Abstract

Information overload is a common phenomenon experienced by IS professionals. An important and complex challenge for educators is building graduate capacity for dealing with information overload. This paper presents a five-week teaching program that tailors content and assessments for students to experience information overload and reflect on their coping strategies. Insights from an analysis of 109 student reflections confirmed this teaching program helps students develop and improve their information overload management skills. The paper concludes with a teaching and assessment guide for creating a similar teaching program that uniquely integrates the explicit instruction of stress-coping strategies.
