چکیده
The quiet revolution of consumer IT reached a climax recently, with the widespread adoption of smart consumer devices and their rapid penetration into enterprise IT applications.

This paper examines some of the IT challenges associated with CoIT, and relates them to Information Systems (IS) educational challenges.
