The Guest Editors of the Journal of Information Systems Education (JISE) invite submissions for a special issue on Cyberbullying in Post-Secondary Institutions to appear in the Winter 2014 issue (Vol. 24, No. 4). JISE is the premier journal on information systems (IS) education internationally.

Cyberbullying is becoming a concern for postsecondary institutions. Digital harassment incidents are featured daily in the news. Cyberbullying is not often perceived as an issue in colleges and universities, as incidents are often reported in middle / high schools. However, there are emerging in the field high levels of perceptions on cyberbullying incidents as an issue, but low levels of perceptions on institutional and instructional methods of cyberbullying pre-emption and resolution, in colleges and universities. Therefore, it is imperative that administrators and instructors in schools of information systems learn more of the issues of cyberbullying and of cyberbullying resolution strategies, as they may affect their colleges and universities.

For this special issue of JISE on Cyberbullying in Post-Secondary Institutions, we invite submissions of high-quality, innovative and insightful articles. Suggested topics include:

Cellular or Digital Imaging Messaging;
Culture of Cyberbullying;
Cyberharassment;
Digital Harassment;
Discussion Board Messaging;
Enforcement of Institutional Policy;
Faculty Perceptions and Sensitivity;
Flaming;
Hostility;
Impersonation;
