Tóm tắt

A case is made for a new approach to higher education in the 21st century, an approach in which the traditional majors are extended beyond their usual boundaries by applying one's education to address the public good. The LEAP initiative and the Learning Paradigm College are advanced as exemplars of effective 21st century educational practices, and it is shown that these two concepts are consistent with both employer expectations of college/university graduates and the expectations of both school and program accrediting agencies. The Information Technology for Good (IT4G) initiative is advanced as an exemplar of using Information Systems/Technology education to advance the public good. Examples of IT4G in action are presented, and an invitation is extended to other information systems academic programs to join the Computer Information Systems program at Quinnipiac University in this endeavor. © 2012 EDSIG.
