ACE2008: call for papers

The Tenth Australasian Computing Education Conference (ACE2008) will be part of Australasian Computer Science Week 2008. The conference will run from Tuesday 22 January 2008 to Friday 25 January 2008, in Wollongong, Australia.

The technical program of ACE2008 will consist of presentations and possibly workshops. The conference solicits submissions that describe innovations or research in computing education in its various aspects, eg computer science, information systems, software engineering and information technology, at all levels and in all contexts. Typical topics include, but are not restricted to, innovations or research in the following areas:

• Course content and curriculum structure
• Methods of instruction
• Tools to aid in instruction
• Methods of assessment
• Tools to aid in assessment
• Evaluations of alternative approaches
• The study of teaching and learning in a computing context
• Student ability and/or aptitude
• Issues related to recruitment, sex, culture, language, ethics, professionalism, academic integrity, online delivery …

Papers may be set in the context of formal courses or self-directed learning; they may involve, for example, introductory programming, service courses, specialist undergraduate or postgraduate topics, industry-related short courses. We welcome submissions directed at issues of current and local importance, as well as topics of international interest. Such topics may include transition from school to university, articulation between vocational and university education, quality management in teaching, teaching people from other cultures, attracting and retaining female students, and flexible learning.

The program committee will select the papers to appear based on their potential to enhance learning outcomes in computing courses. All papers will be fully refereed using a double blind reviewing process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
