Readings in Computer Science Education

Journals

• Computer Science Education Journal
  • Right on target
• IEEE Transactions on Education
  • Some topics are Engineering-specific (eg: "Multiple-Choice Examinations for Electromagnetics"); others are relevant to computer science (eg: "Recursive Algorithms in Computer Science Courses")
• Educational Technology & Society
  • Addresses "issues affecting the developers of educational systems and educators who implement and manage such systems". The educational systems discussed are both academic and industrial.
• Campus-Wide Information Systems
  • Only parts are relevant (eg: "using students as participants in educational software development"). Also covers non-cs, and non-educational issues (eg, library services).
• International Journal on E-Learning (Corporate, Government, Healthcare, & Higher Education)

Local Resources and Events

• University of Toronto's Resource Centre for Academic Technology hosts events throughout the year.

Conferences on Education or with an Education Track

• SIGCSE 2002: ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education
  • Highly relevant.
  • Here are sites for the previous two: 2001 in Charlotte; and 2000 in Austin.
• CSEE&T 2002: Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training
  • Specific to software engineering. Appears to attract both engineers and computer scientists.
  • Here's the site for the 2001 conference, in Charlotte.
• WCCCE 2002: Western Canadian Conference on Computing Education
  • Here's the site for the 2001 conference, in Nelson B.C.
• ICALT 2003: International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies
