Call for papers

The Computer Science Education Research Conference (CSERC) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of computer science education. It embraces a broad view of current and future trends in computer science education and aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results. The CSERC Series started in 2011 in Heerlen (the Netherlands). It was followed by meetings in Wroclaw (2012), Nijmegen (2013), Berlin (2014), Pretoria (2016) and Helsinki (2017).

• specific educational subject matter, such as programming, database systems, or computer security
• specific groups of students, such as first years, masters students, women, minorities, etc.
• broader topics, such as curriculum, group-work, or class infrastructure

Types of paper accepted might include:

• experience reports describing a classroom innovation and an assessment of its impact
• software reports describing tools developed for learning or assessment in computing
• research reports describing projects undertaken to investigate aspects of computing education

Preparing and submitting manuscripts:

• Full papers are limited up to 12 pages.
• Short papers are limited to 6 pages.
• Templates for submissions can be found at the ACM SIG Proceedings website. Papers can be submitted using Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cserc2018
