Tips for writing articles for ITE • Your target audience is OR/MS/analytics instructors • They want to know how relevant the topic that you are writing about is for them: • What kind of students do you teach? (business/engineering/math/… , UG/MBA/MS/…) • In what course(s)? • What have your students learned already? • How often have you used what you are writing about? • How well did it work? What lessons did you learn?

  8. Tips for writing articles for ITE • You need a literature review • The relevant papers to cite will probably be from education journals • Read a few recent ITE papers before you start writing one yourself
