SIGCSE 2011! -Tom Cortina and Ellen Walker SIGCSE 2011 Conference Co-Chairs -Laurie King and Dave Musicant SIGCSE 2011 Program Co-Chairs -------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION SIGCSE 2011: Reaching Out The 42nd ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education March 9-12, 2011, Dallas, Texas, USA http://www.sigcse.org/sigcse2011/ CONFERENCE THEME: Reaching Out --- Submission Deadlines --- Papers, Panels, Special Sessions, Workshops Friday, September 10, 2010 Student Research Competition Monday, September 27, 2010 Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions, Posters, Video Exhibition Monday, November 1, 2010 SIGCSE 2011 continues our long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the world to present papers, panels, posters, special sessions, and workshops, and to discuss computer science education in birds-of-a-feather sessions and informal settings at breaks and meals. The SIGCSE Technical Symposium addresses problems common among educators working to develop, implement and/or evaluate computing programs, curricula, and courses. The symposium provides a forum for sharing new ideas for syllabi, laboratories, and other elements of teaching and pedagogy, at all levels of instruction. We encourage participation that addresses our theme, "reaching out". We need to reach out to colleagues in other fields, to develop interdisciplinary courses and research projects that integrate computer science and other fields, which enriches both. We need to reach out to create programs that attract and educate the next generation of computer scientists, especially currently underserved populations. We need to reach out to policy makers, educating them on the importance and promise of our discipline. Finally, we need to reach out to each other, as always sharing our best ideas and experiences with the SIGCSE community. We invite those interested in computer science education and computer science education research to contribute to SIGCSE 2011. Following SIGCSE tradition, the symposium will provide a diverse selection of technical sessions and opportunities for learning and interaction. PAPERS Papers describe a classroom experience, teaching technique, curricular initiative, or educational research project. Two versions of a submission are required: a full version having author names and affiliations and an anonymous version for use in reviewing. The anonymous version must not include author names, affiliations, or obvious references to the authors or their institutions. Papers will undergo a blind reviewing process and must not exceed six pages. Authors will have approximately 25 minutes for their presentations, including questions and answers. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the conference to present. PANELS Panels present multiple perspectives on a specific topic. To allow each panelist sufficient time to present his or her perspective and still enable audience participation, a panel will normally have at most four panelists, including one moderator. Panel submissions should include a list of the panelists, their affiliations, and a description of the topic, with brief position statements from panelists. Proposals with more than four panelists must provide a statement connecting the extra panelist(s) to the effectiveness of the panel and must convincingly show that each panelist will be able to speak, and the audience able to respond, within the session time. Panel abstracts must not exceed two pages. A panel session is approximately 75 minutes long. SPECIAL SESSIONS Special sessions are your opportunity to customize and experiment with the SIGCSE conference format. Possible special sessions include a seminar on a new topic, a committee report, or a forum on curriculum issues. More generally, they must be 75 minutes in length, held in standard conference spaces, and justifiably distinct from the panel, paper, and poster tracks. Within those constraints, the form is yours to design. Special session abstracts must not exceed two pages. WORKSHOPS Workshops provide introductory and advanced topics to help make participants more effective teachers and scholars. Workshop proposals (including title page and abstract) must not exceed three pages. Submissions must specify equipment needs (e.g., participant laptops or projector required) and any limitation on the number of participants. Workshops are scheduled for a three-hour session and are offered separately from the technical track session times. BIRDS OF A FEATHER SESSIONS Birds of a Feather sessions provide an environment for colleagues with similar interests to meet for informal discussions. A maximum one-page description (including abstract) is requested to describe the informal discussion topic. A/V equipment will not be provided for these sessions. Approximately 45 minutes are allocated to each BOF topic. POSTERS Posters describe computer science education materials or research, particularly works in progress. Proposals (including abstract) are limited to two pages. Poster demonstrations are scheduled to permit one-on-one discussion with conference attendees, typically during session breaks. Prepared handouts are encouraged in order to share your work. VIDEO EXHIBITION Video submissions for the Video Exhibition should demonstrate real or dramatized pedagogical situations or challenges for computer science education. Video submissions that address the theme of the symposium are particularly desired. STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION (SRC) The Student Research Competition (SRC) describes new, innovative computer science research conducted by both graduate and undergraduate students. Research abstracts are limited to two pages. Judges will review the research presentation via a poster and interview participants on their work. A group of semi-finalists will continue the competition by giving a short conference presentation. ---- Symposium Chairs Thomas Cortina, Carnegie Mellon University Ellen Walker, Hiram College [email protected] Program Chairs Laurie Smith King, College of the Holy Cross Dave Musicant, Carleton College [email protected] Panels and Special Sessions Pam Cutter, Kalamazoo College [email protected] [email protected] Workshops Ruth E.
