*SUBMISSION CATEGORIES *
* Research Paper, 8-10 pages. Unpublished, original, theoretically
anchored research related to the conference theme. Papers will be
of high quality and present novel arguments, syntheses, results,
methods or tools. Research papers are mainly evaluated by the
relevance and quality of the research.
* Discussion papers, 6 pages. Unpublished, original work in
progress, or dissemination and discussion of new ideas in
Computing Education Research. Discussion papers should clearly
indicate the issue that the author aims to discuss, as well as
discussion questions and a mechanism to promote a debate among the
conference participants. A discussion paper is evaluated by its
anticipated impact on discussions during the conference. At least
half the presentation time allocated to a discussion paper should
be used for a public discussion.
* System paper, 4-6 pages. Unpublished, original work describing
methods or tools for learning or instruction in computing
education, motivated by the didactic needs of teaching computing
and supported supported by clear argumentation or a theoretical
framework for why the proposed system can be expected to address
the identified problem. The submissions are evaluated on their
impact on and contribution to the research questions defined and
on their contributions to existing knowledge and practice. A
submission should preferably be accompanied by a Demo.
* Poster/demo, 2 page abstract. Interactive presentation of emerging
ideas for research, teaching practice, or tools can be presented
as posters or demonstrations. Submissions are evaluated based on
their originality and the possible future contribution to the
field of Computing Education. In addition to the abstract and live
tool demo on site, we prefer the author(s) to prepare a max. 3
minutes screencast (a short video) to be presented for the
audience before the demo session as well as to be included in the
conference website.
