Emerging technologies create new pedagogical opportunities and challenges, enabling innovative uses of digital learning environments and technologies in educational institutions and beyond. Rapidly advancing capabilities in domains such as data analytics, cloud computing, as well as machine learning, generative AI, and other applications of artificial intelligence, offer the opportunity to change not only what we teach (curriculum) but how we teach (pedagogy). Many institutions strive to strike the right balance between traditional, online, and hybrid learning scenarios, offering viable options for diverse learning contexts. In addition, faculty and universities are struggling to develop effective strategies for integrating generative AI into pedagogical practices and developing effective ethical policies governing their use. The Digital Learning and IS Curricula track offers IS scholars the opportunity to present and exchange conceptual ideas, implementations, and empirical findings on curriculum, pedagogy, learning environments, and pedagogical innovations, utilizing technologies to enhance teaching and learning in educational institutions and beyond. Advancements in generative AI are enabling new teaching methods, requiring updates to learning objectives and approaches, while also raising ethical challenges.
