The implementation ofnew IT artifacts in organizations requires employees to not only learn how to use the materialfeatures, but to also learn how the new technologies manage knowledge [19]. We next showhow social influence can be such a key factor for learning through the use of smartphoneplatforms for seeking and sharing knowledge between users, be they employees or students.Spatial networks based on geographic distribution can influence IT diffusion through theobservation of others [20]. Through observation, a user’s beliefs and evaluations, based onthe relative advantage and ease of use in using an IT innovation, can have a positive influenceon attitude for adopting the new technology [21]. Informational influence also draws

1096 Using the Baldrige Process to Market An Information Systems Technology Curriculum Lucy C. Morse, John A. Selter University of Central FloridaThe increased use of distance education within higher education has provided the impetus foreducators to think differently about the audience they seek to influence. This is particularly truewithin the Information Technology (IT) field. Furthermore, renewed interest in outcomes-basededucation has moved educators to take greater stock in the use of industrial advisory boards forcurriculum development, evaluation and improvement

Ascompared to the traditional output of students being equipped with theoretical knowledge, andsupport tools, now they were able to communicate better, utlize information technology in ameaningful manner for staisfaction of their information needs, and perhaps most important of all,they were prepared and ready to face the challenges of a complex and dynamic constructionwork environment.I. BackgroundTime constraints, emerging technologies, and need for practical exposure for constructionengineering and management students were strong issues needing addressment. Furthermore,traditional classroom environments focused only on knowledge and comprehension skillsbuilding with little focus on

The Army identifies how ITsystems and information are to be leveraged in future military systems. [5] We considered the recenteffort [6] to describe the emerging IT discipline as including five key areas: Programming, Networking,Web Systems, Databases, and Human Computer Interfacing and goes on to argue that “we have come tounderstand that IT students require depth, but not depth on how to implement technology components. ITstudents require deep knowledge of the interfaces between technologies.” With this work and work donehere at USMA [7], we partitioned the foundational knowledge between IT105 and IT305 with a focus onIT105
