Do consider checking out SPLASH-E, as below. Best, Robby ---------------------------- SPLASH-E Call for Participation Tuesday, Oct 21 2014, Portland OR In conjunction with the SPLASH conference http://2014.splashcon.org/track/splash2014-splash-e SPLASH-E is a forum for software and languages researchers with activities and interests around computing education. This year's SPLASH-E will feature sessions around three themes: * Creating (and Assessing) Projects and Courses to Engage Students * Design Issues around Drag-and-Drop languages * Designing Software Engineering Courses as well as time dedicated to impromptu discussion around these and other topics that arise. Formal presentations will be short (15-20 minutes), designed to raise questions for discussion rather than to simply present papers. The PC is framing discussion questions within each theme, but also welcomes questions on these topics from the broader SPLASH community. If you have a research question or idea related to these themes and plan to attend, drop me a line so we can include your question in the discussion period. Come experience an interactive day of discussion on educational aspects of software systems. Hope to see you in Portland! Kathi Fisler SPLASH-E chair
