teaching their students how to develop high-quality
software. As in industry, the most common and popular
way of assuring the quality of programs is through
software testing. In other words, quality is treated as
an afterthought or as postscript in program
development. The paper presents and discusses a quality
model that can be used to incorporate a wide variety of
quality assurance techniques within a curriculum. The
model also presents a structured approach for
introducing software testing into the educational

the principles of computing using the basic features of
some chosen programming language such as C, C++, Java,
Ada, Scheme, Eiffel, etc. Abstraction and encapsulation
focus on entities such as algorithms, functions, data
structures, classes, objects, and closures that can be
built directly on top of the raw language. If a
facility such as windows and graphics is not directly
available in the language then it is not used. This
means that student exercises tend to look inward at
computer science issues rather than outward to the
exciting applications that show the breadth and power
of computing. The fundamental thesis of this article is
that teaching students in the framework of powerful
toolkits is essential to maintain student interest and
is pedagogically important precisely because toolkits
are a rich source of examples that illustrate the
principles of computation. We hope to convince computer
science faculty that the use of toolkits is imperative
in a modern first year curriculum. We will first
discuss in general why toolkits are important. We will
spice this discussion with some simple illustrations
and with references to the use of toolkits by faculty
at other institutions. We will then describe the
toolkits we have developed at Northeastern University
and explain both what they do and why they are
pedagogically valuable. We will see how toolkits enable
students to do more interesting and effective work and
how principles of design and algorithms can be
demonstrated by the key components of the toolkits. We
will conclude with some general remarks and explain why
the arguments made against toolkits do not have
sufficient weight to change our conclusions. We will
also give the web site address where our toolkits are

constructivist learning environment upon field
dependent (FD) and field independent (FI) students'
achievement in an introductory computer programming
course. Prior research in traditional environments had
established a correlation between field dependence /
independence (FD/I) and the design stage of
programming. A correlational design was followed, using
introductory computer science students in their first
programming course. A pretest of BASIC programming
ability was given to assess baseline proficiency. The
Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) was given to assess
each subject's measure of FD/I. A constructivist model
for learning programming was implemented. Achievement
tests in two of the stages of programming, design and
coding were administered. As additional dependent
variables, student construction of programming elements
--- the design (semantic) elements, and the
language-specific coding (syntax) elements --- were
collected in a portfolio and examined for both
qualitative and quantitative differences. No
significant correlations were found between FD/I and
the achievement scores of design and coding. No
correlation was expected between FD/I and coding. There
was no interaction between FD/I and design versus
coding. The correlation between FD/I and the quantity
of reconstructed programming elements was not
significant. The correlation between FD/I and the
quality of reconstructed programming elements was not
significant. No interaction was found between FD/I and
the quantity or quality of semantic versus syntactic
elements. Stepwise multiple regression identified two
predictors, for design, the predictor was the pretest.
Coding was predicted by the quantity of syntactic
programming elements. The principal finding of this
research, in contrast to findings in traditional
environments is that within this constructivist
environment, the cognitive style of FD/I was not found
to influence programming achievement.",

concentration emphasizes VB instead of C++.It
emphasizes web, database, and networking applications
instead of systems software;It puts more emphasis on
human issues in computing: ethics, computer-assisted
instruction, and systems analysis and specification;It
deemphasizes science and math, giving students more
opportunity to complete a minor of their choosing. Key
design criteria for the concentration included making
the content practical and attractive; teaching
short-term and long-term skills; and minimizing the
need for additional faculty. This final concern was
addressed by reworking selected courses in computer
organization, databases, networking, and software
engineering for the concentration. The new
concentration should meet the needs of students and
employers while improving retention and increasing
enrollment. Preliminary indications suggest that the IT
will become the department's most popular

recursion is introduced in a gradual way by means of
three fields (grammars, functional programming and
imperative programming). On the other hand, each
instance of recursion is explained so that all of its
accompanying mechanisms are clearly identified. The
approach has three main advantages. First, the teaching
of recursion is simplified because it is taught in a
gradual way. Second, the concept of recursion is
isolated and differentiated from other concepts or
mechanisms associated to particular instances of
recursion. Last, the student perceives recursion as a
recurrent concept in the discipline of computer

the rigid teacher centred learning structures of
traditional on-campus delivery and made no allowance
for the services required by off-campus students. In
response, teachers of off-campus students developed a
complementary proposal, based on actual time logs,
which reflected their student centred approach to
learning. Contrary to popular wisdom, off-campus
teaching was found to be more time-consuming than

the classroom as long as they're used in industry, so
as educators, we must find better ways to teach them.
This paper presents checked pointers, a simple wrapper
for C++ pointers that prevents pointer arithmetic and
other common sources of pointer errors, and detects all
dereferencing and deallocation errors, including memory
leaks. The syntax of checked pointers is highly
faithful to raw C++ pointers, but provides run-time
error detection and debugging information. After
debugging, changing one \#include is all that is
required to substitute a non-checking implementation
that is as fast as raw C++.",

curriculum reforms in the Undergraduate Computer
Science curriculum. The ACM/IEEE-CS task force is
currently working on the Curriculum 2001. In this
struggle to define and develop this dynamic field of
computer science, we have the opportunity to identify
the foundations and related concepts of mathematics we
would like to see in the new CS curriculum and
introduce these in CS1 and CS2. Many standard topics of
discrete mathematics can encourage the use of
mathematical thinking when taught along with the CS
courses. The more complex foundations and other
theoretical topics may be introduced later in the
curriculum. This session will present some of the views
and examples in this direction. Our goal is not to
eliminate the need of discrete math but to integrate it
into the basics of CS so that the student will
experience mathematical reasoning in the early stages
of the development of CS topics. Currently discrete
math is taught as one of the early math requirements
and many students do not see the relationship between
the programming concepts and these mathematical
concepts. An early blend of these ideas of will provide
a richer experience to CS majors and the new topics can
be learned more quickly if the underlying theoretical
concepts are well understood. The programming languages
of choice can be introduced in separate laboratory
components taken parallel to CS1 and CS2. We hope that
we all can agree that CS is not just programming and we
have a new discipline that must develop its basic
theory rather than depending on other disciplines to do
it for us. Someday, the courses we know now as CS1 and
CS2 maybe known as University Computing I and II as we
now have in some of the other sciences.",

rapidly, along with the demand for seats in computer
science courses. The problem of finding, recruiting,
and retaining computer science faculty may have reached
crisis proportions[1]. Meeting this demand means an
influx of new faculty, including perhaps nontraditional
faculty such as adjuncts from industry, emeriti,
graduate students, or faculty from other disciplines.
Such diversity is valuable but brings its own
challenges. One of these is acclimating new faculty,
particularly those from different academic or
industrial environments, to the norms, practices, and
expectations of a particular school and department.
These may vary considerably among institutions, and
some may be subtle and unrecognized, not always
identified in existing orientation materials. For the
new faculty's experience to be successful (for
themselves, for their students, and for the
institution), we must identify these issues. But we
must also make that information available in an
effective form: A comprehensive ``policies and
procedures'' manual may be left unread amid the more
immediate demands of meeting the first class or
starting a research program. Experienced colleagues
will have some answers, at least idiosyncratic ones,
and likely are willing to share them when they have a
free moment; even so, the new instructor may hesitate
to call on the same person too often. The panelists
will describe their experiences as new or adjunct
faculty or as those orienting such faculty; thereafter,
we will solicit experiences from the audience. We
expect to generate and disseminate a list of teaching
issues new faculty must address and a range of
strategies for helping those faculty address them. This
could serve as a ``Prototype FAQ,'' one that
institutions (or their new-faculty coordinators) could
adapt to local practices.",

abstract = "``I didn't think I'd like group work, but I ended up
in a good team and it was a great experience. But I
feel if you end up in a bad team it can really get you
down and will affect your mark.'' This student response
(University of Exeter, U.K.) is typical and telling. At
least some of the time teams work, and the progression
from ``didn't think I'd like'' to ``great experience''
happens often enough that those of us who use team work
have come to expect it, at least part of the time. The
ability to work well in teams is essential for our
graduates. It cuts across all the questions --- what,
where, why and how we teach. However, not all of our
students find working as a member of a team a natural
and easy thing to do. Not only that, even though the
student quoted in the preceding paragraph uses the
phrase ``good team'' and the phrase ``bad team'' these
and many other terms are not well defined. The Computer
Science (CS) academic community regards group project
work as an essential component of any degree; the
discipline's professional societies world-wide
emphasize project and group work as preparation for
professional practice. Project work is recognized as
having many educational and social benefits, in
particular providing students with opportunities for
active learning. Nevertheless, managing project work is
problematic, because CS projects are:expensive,
demanding considerable supervision as well as technical
resources; complex, marrying design, human
communication, human-computer interaction, and
technology to satisfy objectives ranging from
consolidation of technical skills through provoking
insight into organizational practice, teamwork and
professional issues, to inculcating academic discipline
and presentation skills; continually demanding, set in
the context of a rapidly changing technology which
affects technical objectives and demands ever-evolving
skills in both students and supervisors. In a young and
changing discipline, some aspect of project work is
questioned in almost every institution. The three
panelists bring experience from four educational
institutions in two countries. Louise Moses is Chair of
the Department of Computer Science and Information
Systems at Mount Union College. She has supervised team
projects in extra-departmental service courses, classes
provided for departmental majors, and
inter-disciplinary courses. During the summer term of
the previous three academic years she has been Honorary
Visiting Researcher in the Department of Computer
Science in the School of Engineering at The University
of Exeter, Exeter, U.K. In that position she has worked
as part of the management team for first year students
in the first year project. James Caristi is a professor
of mathematics and computer science at Valparaiso
University. He was the 1990 recipient of the Sears
Roebuck Award for Teaching Excellence and Campus
Leadership, and is the 1999 recipient of the
Distinguished Teaching Award from the Indiana Section
of the Mathematical Association of America. He has been
using teams in different ways in computer science
classes at all levels for over 15 years. Sally Fincher
is a Lecturer in the Computing Laboratory at the
University of Kent at Canterbury in England. She has
been project manager for the Effective Projectwork in
Computer Science (EPCoS) project. EPCoS was a
10-partner, three-year funded project which worked to
identify best practices in CS projectwork, transfer
those practices between institutions and examine and
analyze the process of transfer. We have wrestled with
project design and how to make team assignments. And,
even though providing good teamwork experiences is more
of an art than a science --- with no hard and fast
rules --- there are guidelines; it will be profitable
to share our knowledge and our experiences. We shall
consider six major areas concerning team and group
work, and the kind of issues that are associated with
them. Allocation How do we allocate students to groups?
And then groups to supervisors?Supervision What sort of
role should a supervisor take with respect to their
group? Friend, mentor, project manager or technical
guru? Does it make a difference? Assessment How do we
assess the contribution of an individual when the
deliverables are a team effort ? Should we even try to?
Motivation What happens when students get into a
``bad'' team? How do we keep them motivated? Reflection
Especially when introducing teamwork into the
curriculum, reflection is an essential part of the
learning cycle. How do we plan to make sure we include
time and opportunity for this? Teamwork How do we
encourage working together, when in some other academic
circumstances this might be called ``cheating''?",

abstract = "Object-oriented languages have been taught for some
time at universities. The most common approach has been
to teach those constructs required for imperative
programming first and to introduce the notion of
classes and objects somewhat later in the course. More
recently, many educators have been promoting the notion
of teaching about classes and objects first. This helps
students to adopt the object-oriented paradigm at an
early stage and encourages them to focus on the
application structure before beginning coding. Most new
textbooks have followed such an approach. While this
method has clear advantages, it is not easy to realise
in practice. This is partly a result of the languages
used for teaching. However, we would argue that the
major difficulty comes from the lack of program
development environments and tools which themselves
fully embrace the object-oriented paradigm. The use of
Java as the language for teaching addresses some of the
problems. Java with its clean support for the
object-oriented paradigm is now widely regarded as a
suitable choice for introductory teaching. The choice
of environment, however, remains an issue. The view of
the development environment as a major difficulty in
Java courses is further supported by numerous reports
of educators relating their experiences with teaching
introductory Java courses. While Java was consistently
described as an excellent language for teaching the
object-oriented paradigm, the environments available
are regularly identified as a significant source of
problems. These may be divided into two areas: The
environments are designed for professional programmers.
They are too complex and have a steep learning curve.
Thus valuable teaching time is spent teaching the
students how to use the environment and this detracts
from the principles of programming. Most of the
existing environments fail to fully adopt the
object-oriented paradigm. Users of the environment must
deal with files, lines of code and directory
hierarchies rather than classes, objects and
relationships. In this seminar we will argue the case
that the requirements for teaching the object-oriented
paradigm and Java can only be satisfied by the
provision of a program development environment
specifically designed for teaching. We will introduce
BlueJ, a relatively new development environment which
addresses all of these issues. We will show how the
unique features of this environment can be used to
create an introductory Java course that fully embraces
the ``object first'' approach and supports the
presentation of a cleaner picture of the paradigm than
previously possible. BlueJ is based heavily on earlier
work by us on a language and environment called Blue.
BlueJ is a complete Java development environment,
written entirely in Java. It provides graphical support
for object-oriented design, abstracts over files and
the operating system and provides fully integrated
support for a design, edit, compile and test cycle. In
addition, BlueJ supports interactive creation of
objects and interactive calling of methods of objects.
This provides support for incremental development, one
of the major advantages of object-orientation. It
includes an easy-to-use debugger and support for
applications and applets. One of the main differences
between BlueJ and other environments is its distinct
focus on a teaching context. It combines powerful tools
with an easy-to-use interface, avoiding the complexity
that creates so many problems when using existing
environments in a classroom. BlueJ has been used very
successfully for two semesters as Monash University.
The presentation will provide the context in which the
BlueJ project has been developed. We will discuss the
design principles for BlueJ, the major aims of the
project and our experiences with using it in class. A
demonstration of the current version of BlueJ will be
given. We will also demonstrate a set of examples and
problems which can be used in a first Java course and
show how the course structure can be improved and
support teaching ``objects first'' with the
availability of an environment that fully supports the
paradigm. BlueJ is available free of charge and can be
used by any interested institution. Details of how to
obtain a copy of BlueJ will be provided at the
seminar.",

for SIGCSE conferences and, unfortunately, recommending
rejection of the majority of the submissions. While
some undoubtedly deserved the recommendation, others
described work that is potentially interesting and
relevant, but the papers were so poorly written that it
was impossible to judge the ideas fairly. I am writing
this message to help SIGCSE members write better papers
and improve their chances of acceptance. A review is
like an audition: you have prepared your presentation
for weeks or months, yet you only have a few minutes to
convince a director (who knows nothing about you) that
you are better than those appearing before or after
you. The key words here are that the reviewer knows
nothing about you. You may have been working on a
project for months, but you only have four pages in
which to ``perform.'' You have two tasks when you write
a paper. First, you must structure your paper so that
your ideas and work are clearly and fully described
within the page limit. Second, and more importantly,
you must place your work in context so that the
reviewer can decide if it is significant and
relevant.",

distance education, where teachers and students can be
distributed worldwide. However, much of today's
Internet-based teaching is limited to student access of
Web-based multimedia documents. In this paper we
describe new dimensions in distributed education that
are possible in synchronous sessions where the students
interact with the teacher in real time. We review and
elaborate on the nature of the MUVE, a spatially
oriented, network-accessed software environment that
uses persistent object technology to promote student
creativity and allow continuity between online
sessions. We describe our experiences in using a MUVE
to enable distributed education at the college level in
graduate and undergraduate courses, and its use with
high school students in the DARPA Computer-Assisted
Education and Training Initiative (CAETI).",

has been developed to be easy to use. The initial
evaluation of the center examined by a few students
have complemented that the center has improved their
understanding to some data communication concepts which
the center already supports. Although our intention is
to support one topic at the first stage of this
project, one can easily add other topics to the center.

toward computing courses. In 1985, a study of college
freshmen was conducted to determine their attitudes

that time, access to and experience with computers was
not the norm for the typical student about to enter the
university. The 1985 study found that females, as well
as students with no computer experience, reported the
most negative encounters with computing. We intend to
expand the original study, delving into whether or not
the programming language learned, compiler and
operating system used, peer and parental attitudes, as
well as other factors, influence a student's attitude
toward computing. We are particularly interested in
examining these attitudes from the standpoint of women
and minorities, those who are still least likely to
have prior, in-depth computer experience. Additionally,
with the ease of communication due to email and the
internet, we believe it is of interest to computing
educators worldwide to participate in such a study. We
will provide a survey instrument, a set of World Wide
Web tools, and a database. Faculty and their classes
from around the world will be encouraged to
participate. Each institution will be able to
immediately compare the profile of their students with
those of other schools. We will provide search
capabilities on several key fields in order to
facilitate participant data analysis. We foresee the
results of our survey generating a dialogue among
educators and possibly changing the direction of and/or

emerging standard UML [4]). Such languages or notations
are an excellent means of communication and
documentation amongst experts. However, for novice

raise additional difficulties: not only a large number
of new ideas and a new way of thinking has to be
learned, but also a highly non-intuitive graphic
notation to present these ideas. The newly developed
Object Visualization and Annotation Language (OVAL) is
a simple illustrative notation which aims at OO
novices. It visualizes the key ideas of

students using a web-based learning system are likely
to study alone and with relatively little classmate
support and pressure. Teachers in a web-based learning
system may apply the group-learning model to overcome
this problem. Therefore, teachers first need to
organize, manage, and monitor the group learning.
Additionally, they must take appropriate actions based
on teaching strategies to improve the learning
achievements of the students. To perform these tasks
effectively, the teachers must obtain relevant
information by searching and analyzing the huge amount
of web-access logs or by monitoring web interactions.
This will be burdensome and difficult to do well for
the teachers. This work presents novel methodologies
for developing instruments to assist teachers in
performing grouping, intervention and strategy
analysis. The proposed methodologies apply data mining
tools provided by existing database management systems.
A tool is initially R developed to assist in organizing
learning groups according to teacher specifications.
Database techniques, including multidimensional cube,
are then applied to make student web logs meaningful
and helpful to teachers in managing group learning. The
associate rule mining tool is finally employed to
assist teachers in analyzing their pedagogical
strategies. These tools relieve the teacher of tedious
data collection and analysis, and thus can focus on
managing the groups to promote student learning

enhances teachers' and students' scientific conception

elaboration is done by directing the students, at the
primary stage of problem analysis, to look for problem
characteristics from various angles, in different ways,

colorful and attractive examples, which include
challenging problems and games, often with physical

mathematical maturity (especially in discrete
mathematics) early in their undergraduate studies, thus
becoming well-prepared to integrate mathematical ideas,
notations, and methodologies throughout their study of
computer science. A major curricular implication of
this theme is that the prerequisite expectations and
conceptual level of the first discrete mathematics
course should be the same as it is for the first
calculus course --- secondary school pre-calculus and
trigonometry. Ultimately, calculus, linear algebra, and
statistics are also essential for computer science
majors, but none should occur earlier than discrete
mathematics. This paper explains our concerns and
outlines our response as a series of examples and

abstract = "This paper describes a novel approach to the on-line
assessment of large groups of students, in which it may
be desirable to maintain common questions between the
groups. It is clear from the literature that computer
based assessment has the potential to dramatically
reduce the effort involved in testing and marking
however problems arise where the cohort of students is
larger than the number of available computers. However,
the opposite situation is often true in practice, due
to the perceived need to design multiple tests. The
solution described here uses a small computer
laboratory (20 machines) to administer a test to a
series of groups of students in existing lab sessions.
Each group receives the same set of questions but the
data to which the questions apply, and hence the test
answers, vary from group to group. The data from tests
that have been applied to students is analysed to
determine whether discussions with early candidates
have influenced the performance of students in later
testing sessions.",

laboratory to teach computer security using persistent
cooperative groups and an active learning approach.
Computer security and computer security education are
areas of increasing importance as computer systems
become more interconnected. When offered, undergraduate
and graduate computer security courses are routinely
taught using a traditional lecture format. If the
course includes a class project, the class project is
limited in scope and constitutes a relatively small
portion of the student's grade. This paper examines a
different approach in which the class project is the
dominant factor in the student's grade. The students
work in persistent cooperative teams as either a black
or gold team. Black teams attempt to break into other
black team computers or attack the gold team. The gold
team operates Windows NT, LINUX, and Solaris-based
servers and attempts to defend their servers and
role-play system administrators. The entire exercise
takes place in an isolated lab so as to separate
student class activities from the rest of the
departmental intranet. Four years of experience running
the class with this format suggests that the use of
persistent cooperative groups and active learning are
effective approaches for teaching network security and
are preferred over a lecture-based course.",

however, do not generally support these techniques.
Consequently, we have built and are beginning to
experiment with Javiva. Javiva extracts pre-conditions,
post-conditions, and abstraction functions---included
as stylized comments in Java source files---and uses
them to create instrumented class files. When these
instrumented class files are run, they automatically
diagnose and report violations by methods of pre- and
post-conditions. These classes also exploit abstraction
functions to automatically produce abstract

solved six programming problems with feedback from
InSTEP; the second group solved the same six problems
without feedback from InSTEP; both groups had access to
feedback from teaching assistants. While both groups of
students took about the same amount of time to complete
the problems and performed about the same on a
subsequent test, the students who received feedback
from InSTEP spent less than a third of the time asking

First, it provides fresh motivation for fundamental
algorithms and data structures that are finding new
applications in the context of the Internet. Second, it
provides a source for introducing new algorithms and
data structures that are derived from specific Internet
applications. In this paper, we suggest some key
pedagogical and curriculum updates that can be made to
the classic CS7/DS\&A course to turn it into a
course on Internet Algorithmics. We believe that such a
course will stimulate new interest and excitement in
material that is perceived by some students to be
stale, boring, and purely theoretical. We argue that
the foundational topics from CS7/DS\&A should
remain even when it is taught in an Internet-centric
manner. This, of course, should come as no surprise to
the seasoned computer scientist, who understands the

abstract = "This paper reports an interactive dynamic model using
Continuous Knowledge Management methods and Knowledge
Sharing technology to integrate the acquisition of
skills and relevant information (knowledge level) into
diverse, individualized, concurrent learning processes
in a traditional classroom setting. As opposed to a
passive introduction of technology to facilitate the
traditional learning processes a Web based active
learning and continuous evaluation process was created
which integrates objective scientific knowledge
relating to course content, subjective knowledge
obtained through personal interactions and empirical
knowledge collected during the learning process.
Knowledge Management, an emerging area of Artificial
Intelligence, encompasses identifying, mapping, and
managing intellectual assets to generate new knowledge
for competitive advantage and for sharing of
technology. The Web-based model of knowledge management
discussed here allows a diverse group of learners to
progressively interact and participate in the learning
process, providing non-threatening self-evaluation and
just-in-time individualized feedback to the learners
and efficient tracking and supervision tools to the
instructor. CS1003, a required general education class
provides an ideal application of this model as the
course draws from a diverse body of students ranging
from history to math majors and from freshmen to
seniors. The instructional design of this course using
the interactive dynamics of Knowledge Management
includes (i) provision of course archives and relevant
static information as a passive repository, (ii) Web
Discussion Forums, electronic chats and email
communication for active learning and continuous
interaction, (iii) an intelligent self-evaluation and
grade reporting system for non-threatening self-testing
and what-if analysis of performance, and (iv) a dynamic
student feedback system including individualized
supervision and anonymous feedback. Application of this
instructional process enhanced the goals of the course
from mere computer literacy to what the 1999 NRC Report
calls Fluency in Information Technology (FIT). Three
kinds of knowledge requirements are identified for FIT:
(1) Contemporary skills, (2) Foundational concepts, and
(3) Intellectual capabilities. This model is broadly
applicable to extend the benefits of traditional
classroom instruction to focus diverse intellectual
abilities and interests in a collaborative learning
process. Formal and informal evaluation support this
claim, demonstrating that the transition from purely
traditional teaching to a high degree of technology
fluency can be painless, efficient and effective in
preparing the students for a technology intensive
information age.",

sections. The teaching methods studied here were having
students write programming assignments from scratch
versus having them add to or modify existing
well-written, well-documented programs. The results are
perhaps not surprising. After controlling for certain
factors, the statistical analysis showed that students
who added to program templates as programming
assignments scored better on the comprehensive

models based on different levels of detail e.g.,
semiconductors, transistors, digital circuits. Such
models are designed to progressively hid irrelevant

However, developments in computer technology have
resulted in a low cost, heterogeneous modular
architecture that is difficult to model using current
methods. This paper proposes a new generic method of
modeling computer technology at a higher level of
abstraction than those currently used. Investigations
to date indicate that this model is independent of
architectural detail and can therefore accommodate
changes in technology. This new model is more directly
relevant to the cheap, low-cost modular architectures
in use today. Furthermore, all work to date has
strongly indicated it may be useful as the basis of a
new pedagogical framework for teaching not only
introductory but also more advanced computer
technology.",

to enable students to rapidly develop graphical user
interfaces in freshman computer science programming
projects. Because it is simple to create GUIs using
JPT, students can focus on the more fundamental issues
of computer science rather than on widget management.
In a separate article[4], we will discuss with examples
how the JPT can help freshman students to learn about
the basics of algorithms, data structures, classes, and
interface design. In this article, we will focus on how
the JPT itself can be used as an extended case study of
object-oriented design principles in a more advanced
course. The fundamental design principles of the JPT
are that the elements of a graphical user interface
should be able to be combined recursively as nested
views and that the communication between these views
and the internal data models should be as automatic as
possible. In particular, in JPT, the totality of user
input from a complex view can be easily converted into
a corresponding data model and any input errors will be
detected and corrected along the way. This ease of
communication is achieved by using string objects as a
lingua franca for views and models and by using parsing
when appropriate to automatically check for errors and
trigger recovery. The JPT achieves its power by a
combination of computer science and software design
principles. Recursion, abstraction, and encapsulation
are systematically used to create GUI tools of great
flexibility. It should be noted that a much simpler
pedagogical package for Java IO was recently presented
in [9].",

abstract = "There are deep connections between algorithmic and
mathematical thinking. Both construct ``systems'' ---
computing systems in the algorithmic case, intellectual
ones in mathematics --- from simple primitives. As
Knuth notes in the preface to The Art of Computer
Programming, ``The construction of a computer program
from a set of basic instructions is very similar to the
construction of a mathematical proof from a set of
axioms'' [1]. Other connections include similar ways of
organizing primitives into larger structures (e.g.,
recursion in algorithms, recursion and induction in
math; conditionals in algorithms, definition in cases
and proof by cases in math), similar ways of using
abstraction to manage complexity, and an underlying
reliance on logic. In short, mathematics is not merely
a tool for limited areas of computer science, it is a
mindset that fundamentally improves one's ability to
devise and implement algorithms. Computer science
students therefore need to exercise their mathematical
as well as their computational abilities, and computer
science educators need to help students use both ways
of thinking to solve computing problems. This panel
illustrates specific ways in which mathematical
reasoning enhances algorithmic problem solving, and
provides educators with concrete examples and resources
to use in their own teaching. Each panelist will
present an exercise, classroom example, or similar
item, from their own experience, and will demonstrate
ways in which mathematical reasoning helps one solve
and/or understand it. The audience will be invited to
contribute their own examples and to comment further on
the role of mathematical thinking in computer science
problem solving. The panelists' and audience members'

another for a number of years. Work in this area can be
classified into two broad categories. On the one hand,
a number of researchers have approached the concept of
software components from a first principles
perspective, advancing ideas regarding what constitutes
the ideal component paradigm from perspectives of
efficiency, verifiability and reusability. On the other
hand, recent commercial advances in a number of popular
technologies have elevated the software component
concept into widespread use within the software
practitioner community. Such technologies include a
number of technologies made popular by Microsoft (such
as Active-X, COM, DCOM and Visual Basic), as well as
CORBA and Java Beans. Neither of these perspectives on
software components has become a standard cornerstone
of software development pedagogy. Yet both perspectives
may have an important role in preparing software
developers to build high-quality software in the
context of modern software development technologies. In
particular, teaching students how to design and
construct software components from first principles
provides students with important guidance as to the
``right way'' to structure correct and efficient
software systems (i.e., with emphasis on ``what''
component-based systems should contain). On the other
hand, teaching students about current commercial
component technologies exposes students to the
important dimension of best commercial practice (i.e.,
with emphasis on ``how'' component-based systems could
be built).The participants of this panel are all
actively involved in the development of courses and
curricula that provide various perspectives on
component-based systems. They represent both the first
principles and commercial perspectives discussed above.

experience. I had to dig deep. I had ideas I was
excited about and found others that were excited about
them as well. I also found strong opposition to my
approach, which was difficult for publishers to
evaluate. My experience raised a number of questions
that I have outlined below. These questions range from
personnel motivation to future trends in computing. I
have gathered a panel of respected authors. I have
asked each to respond to some of these questions. Time
will also be available for the audience to ask

programming concept in which objects from two or more
different classes respond to the same set of messages.
For instance, HourlyEmployee, SalariedEmployee, and
ContractEmployee all respond to the message
calculatePay(). Instances of each class ``do the right
thing'' to calculate their pay even though the methods
to do so may be quite different. But the payroll
program using these classes doesn't care --- it can ask
each object for the amount owed without caring what
kind of employee it represents or how the amount is
calculated. The panelists are all instances of
subclasses of Professor which will respond to the
following queries. Since each of the subclasses
implement these queries differently, the answers will
usually be different as well! $ \bullet $
polymorphPreconditions(): The object (professor)
specifies the information students must know before
polymorphism is introduced in their class. $ \bullet $
polymorphPresentation(): The object (professor)
describes how polymorphism is introduced in their
class. $ \bullet $ polymorphStudentUsage(): The object
(professor) describes how their students use
polymorphism later in the course. $ \bullet $
answerQuestions(): The object (professor) responds to
any questions about their approach.",

begin in Computer Science II that assumes knowledge of

general computing education community and the formal
methods community. The goal is to allow the latter to
provide useful support for the former for the ultimate

integrated seamlessly into the computing curriculum so
that it is not necessary to separate them in our

Information Technology (CIT) have expressed a need for
graduates to have a background in professional,
societal, and ethical concerns as well as a strong
technical capability (Huff and Martin, 1995). Some
educators have gone so far as to include cultural
awareness: ``The cultural dimensions of information
technology can no longer be ignored, with the expansion
of the global economy, global markets and global
communication enabled by information technology''
(Hasan and Ditsa, 1998, p. 5). The rationale for
supporting and enhancing instruction in cultural issues
for CIT workers comes from the growing globalization of
the world in communication, the increase of
trans-national organizational mergers and partnerships,
the merging of various populations within national
boundaries, the increasing traffic of individuals to
different countries around the world, and the severe
shortage of information technology personnel throughout
the world. This paper provides material to support the
inclusion of cultural issues within the CIT curriculum.
The topics identified, which include diversity and
multiculturalism, organizational cultures, professional
cultures, socio-economic issues, and gender issues,
form a foundation body of knowledge that, once learned,
can improve and enhance the work of the information
technology professional. Exercises are provided that
can be incorporated into existing CIT courses across a
wide variety of programs, nations, and cultures. As the
internationalization of education continues, more
exercises and examples will surely arise from the CIT
community.",

were used to simulate the behaviour of processes in a
distributed system in order to explain the concept of
self-stabilisation in a graduate course on distributed
systems. A self-stabilising system is one that ensures
that the system's behaviour eventually stabilises to a
safe subset of states regardless of the initial state.
Protocols satisfying this elegant property, which
enables a system to recover from transient failures
that can alter the state of the system, are often hard
to understand, especially for students that have not
studied distributed computing and systems before. The
experiment was part of an introductory course on
distributed computing and systems for graduates in
October 2000. The purpose of this interactive animation
was to introduce to the students the basic concepts
behind self-stabilisation (eligible states, transient
faults, execution convergence) before their formal
introduction. All of the students had a degree either
in mathematics or computing science and had taken a
course on algorithms before. However, most of the
students did not have a background in distributed
systems or distributed algorithms. The latter was not
only the motivation for preparing this method of
presentation but also what made this a challenging
effort. The feedback from the class was that the
concept and this teaching method were very well
received. We could observe that their understanding
evolved to the point that they were able to
successfully come up with ideas for solutions and argue
for/prove their correctness. As suggested in [1],
dramatisation of executions can help the students to
understand new issues and complications. This work
shows that this is true even for graduate level
courses. In our experiment we could conclude that
dramatisation can be almost as powerful as a
programming exercise in the teaching process; sometimes
even more efficient, especially when we need to teach
new concepts to an audience with diverse educational
backgrounds. In analysing the results of our method we
make a combination of the qualitative and quantitative
approaches [4].",

architecture based on a client/server derivation
scheme: each client can interact with one or more
servers emulating one or more networks by the NOEL
protocol (Network Oriented Emulation Language), which
is an extension of TCL over TCP/IP specifically
designed for NetWire. The user can thus control all the
physical parameters of each network or part of it
(communication channels, hubs, network adapters and so
on).Furthermore, the NetWire API library interfaces the
synthetic network environment to real software
applications with ease, hiding the whole architecture
behind the appearance of a network device driver, fully
compatible with the operating system the applications
run on. Moreover, NetWire already provides a featured
Xwindows interface, and because of the integrated TCL
language and the interactions between NOEL and TK, it
is possible to fastly build up new and powerful GUI
based programs. Thus, the field of application of
NetWire is twofold: on a side, it may be used as a tool
for teaching distributed algorithms on parallel and
distributed operating systems, and on the other one it
is a tool for the research and development of new

these efforts have been studied is a small

personal computers, even bubble sorting an array of a
few thousand items appears to occur instantaneously. In
addition, most textbooks provide the program code for
implementing most of the standard sorting algorithms,
such as bubble sort, selection sort, and quick sort.
Since our introductory course has a closed lab period
each week, I looked for something to do with my
students when it came to sorting. Making them type in
the code that was in the book seemed a waste of time.",

Moreover, it can be doubted whether novice programmers

to teach abstraction explicitly to novices. We show
that even for simple problems it makes sense to look
for levels of abstraction in the problem definition and
subsequently to design programs that reflect explicitly
those levels of abstraction. We will discuss the way it
works on the basis of a simple example.",

integrative or capstone course in which students
undertake a significant project under supervision.
There are many different models for such courses and
conducting these courses is a complex task. This report
is intended to assist instructors of capstone courses,
particularly those new to the model of teaching and
learning inherent in the capstone course. This paper
discusses important issues that must be addressed when
conducting capstone courses. These issues are addressed
through a series of questions, with answers reflecting
the way that different institutions have chosen to
handle them, and commentary on the impact of these
different choices. These questions include: Goals of
the Course; Characteristics of Projects; Project
Deliverables; Sponsors; Teams; Prerequisites and
Preparation; Grading and Assessment; Administration and
Supervision; and Reflection, Analysis and Review.
Subsequently we present information about the companion
Web site, intended as an active repository of best
practice for instructors of capstone projects. The Web
site will have examples of information about capstone
courses and materials used by instructors. Readers are
invited to contribute content to this site. The paper
concludes with a bibliography of additional reference
material and resources.",

domains including computer science and mathematics

point of view that illuminates an appealing solution
path. The 'Aha' reaction is common to all. Its
occurrence is related to the problem-solvers' common
perspectives and solution repertoires. Whether more
frequent or less frequent, 'Aha' occurrences enrich and
strengthen perspectives and repertoires in a
stimulating manner. Consider the following Ladder
Problem: calculate the number of different ways to
climb an N-stage ladder when each step is either one or
two stages. One solution perspective may be 'forward
reasoning', leading to a systematic accumulation of the
possible climbing paths. Another perspective may be
combinatorial, leading to the calculation of all the
combinations of 1 and 2 that sum to N. A third
perspective may be 'backward reasoning', yielding
recursive decomposition of the N$^{th}$ case into the
N-1 and N-2 cases. Some problem-solvers may fairly
quickly invoke the third perspective and elegantly
obtain the N$^{th}$ Fibonacci number. Others may first
follow one of the other perspectives and later realize
the illuminating third perspective. The 'Aha' reactions
among the solvers may vary. However, both less
experienced and more experienced solvers will gain from
recognizing the relevance and elegance of the recursive
decomposition and enhance their problem-solving
repertoires.",

Internet/Web as the central principle, and address its
issues and needs. In this panel, the panelists will
share their experience designing courses and
concentrations to address this need, and present their
vision for what an Internet-related Curriculum should
include: the courses, the technologies, and the
overarching themes. The viewpoints presented here are
quite diverse: arguing in favor of Internet-related
coursework for majors versus non-majors, as a
course/minor/major, as an across-the-curriculum theme,
as an interdisciplinary endeavor, as an introductory
course versus a capstone course, and from the points of
view of a community college, four-year institutions and
a graduate institution. We hope that these diverse
viewpoints will foster vigorous discussion at the panel
about the place of Internet-Computing in the Computer
Science curriculum, and its design.",

curriculum. There is a companion session devoted to
tools and techniques and so the focus here is on
programs and courses. The panelists will demonstrate a
clear uniformity of purpose but a wide variety of
approaches to increasing the CSE experience of
undergraduates in different types of schools. The
schools represented vary from large state universities
to small private liberal arts colleges and a
medium-sized school with a strong engineering bias. The
approaches adopted also differ. There are complete
programs built largely from existing courses, specific
courses that are added to established programs to allow
a student to follow an emphasis in CSE. The
introduction of CSE into existing programs through
faculty advice and education has also been successful.
Yet other approaches represented among the panelists
are the introduction of multi-disciplinary team-taught
project-based courses as a springboard for growing an
undergraduate CSE program including undergraduate
research projects. The incremental use of small add-on
courses to supplement conventional mathematics
offerings with some CSE content has also been used
successfully. Another approach represented on the panel
is the use of a particular vehicle --- in this case
graphics and visualization --- to introduce key ideas
of CSE into regular parts of the curriculum. The
unifying theme of the panel --- the desire to improve
undergraduate CSE education will be evident throughout.
By presenting a wide variety of approaches to achieve
this end, it is hoped that any audience participants
who wish to create a CSE thread in their own programs
will find some ideas to help them. Some of the
practical and political issues will also be discussed
in the various contexts. The program for the panel

of the students enrolled in the course are computing
science majors, the remaining being students from a

Empirical observations showed that after using the
EROSI tutor, novices employed a variety of methods
during program construction including the use of their
understanding of the execution process of recursion
from their visualisation experiences. Using our
findings we provide some useful suggestions to inform
teaching practice. We conclude that when teaching about
recursion: visualising program execution models can be
a useful aid to program construction, by providing a
mental framework for reasoning about the behaviour of
program code fragments both before and after coding;
visualisation methods may not always be a sufficient
condition for developing programming skills; and the
teaching of techniques for program construction may be
necessary.",

such as thumbnail sketches or explicitly showing the
function stack along with the data structure are
appropriate for some algorithms, while simpler
representations suffice for others. We have found it
useful to classify recursive algorithms according to
the way they navigate through a data structure and
manipulate data items within it, sometimes with further
subdivision according to the kind of recursion. Within
each category there are common strategies for visual
representation. While there may be no single, general
way to represent recursive algorithms, classification
is a useful guide to picking an appropriate strategy
when animating recursive algorithms.",

experiences related to incorporating Human-Computer
Interaction (HCI) into the undergraduate CS curriculum.
Since the publication of the ACM SIGCHI Curricula for
Human-Computer Interaction in 1992 [1], CS educators
have tried various implementations of these guidelines.
These implementations have been mainly offered as
elective courses or modules within other courses,
partly because the CS mainstream has been slow to
recognize the importance of user interface design and
HCI issues in software development. Today at least 50\%
of the code written for software applications is
specific to the user interface. Average end-user
expertise is continually dropping due to the
proliferation of inexpensive computers available to the
general public. Accordingly, user interface
effectiveness has become increasingly important in
software development, as the user interface has the
power to ``make or break'' a software product. Through
its emphasis on user-centered design, task analysis,
and usability evaluation among other topics, an HCI
course addresses more than 1/3 of the guidelines and
imperatives of the ACM Code of Ethics [2]. This
includes issues related to professional review,
evaluations of computer systems, social responsibility
and quality of life, and non-discrimination and dignity
of end-users. CS educators have begun realizing the
importance of incorporating HCI into the educational
experience of students. Approximately 40\% of the
CAC-accredited degree programs include an HCI course at
the upper level; however, this course is offered mostly
as an elective (37\% of degree programs) as opposed to
a required course (3\% of degree programs) [3]. Also,
HCI is included as a core knowledge area in Computing
Curricula 2001 [4, 5, 6]; unfortunately, only six hours
have been devoted to it, as opposed to, say, 36 hours
for architecture.",

abstract = "The generally accepted wisdom among teachers of
English composition is that a ``rewrite cycle'' should
be used as a teaching strategy. Rather than expecting
students to extrapolate from the grading comments on
paper N what they should do differently on paper N + 1,
it has become conventional to ask for a rewrite of
paper N itself. Of course, there are many variations on
this theme. For example, peer review may supplement or
replace some of the rounds of grading. The panelists
will explore some of the ways they have applied this
pedagogic strategy in computer science courses. Most
obviously, when we have our students write papers, we
have them do rewrites. However, some of us don't stop
there, but rather also apply the same idea to the
writing of programs or mathematical analyses. This
encourages our students to do a high-quality job, and
to feel that they have truly mastered a topic. Clearly,
there are tradeoffs and difficulties, principally
involving time. The panelists will also discuss this
aspect, indicating how they have coped with the
pitfalls, and indicating what has worked well, and what
not so well. Ultimately, however, all the panelists are
optimistic about the value of rewrite cycles. After the
panelists share their experiences, there will be some
time for discussion with the audience. Based on the
interest this topic provoked on the sigcse.members
mailing list, and in ensuing private email, we look
forward to an active audience. We will also make
materials from the session available at

abstract = "We face a need for undergraduate instruction in
networking and telecommunications. The Computing
Research Association has identified both
web-specialists and network-designers as being among
the seven occupations where there is a clearly
established shortage of professionals [2]. Even with
the recent softening of the economy, individuals in the
networking and telecommunications field are highly
sought after as attested to by surveys such as
RHIConsulting's\reg{} recent survey of 1400 CIOs
nationwide [4]. It is imperative to ask how these
individuals will be educated. Historically,
telecommunications has been hardware oriented.
Consequently, it has been in the domain of Electrical
Engineering. The ongoing convergence of communications
and computing, however, has drastically shifted the
focus of telecommunications and considerably broadened
the field. Many of the new areas of telecommunications
will not fit neatly into old categories. Some are much
closer to Computer Science than Electrical Engineering.
Schools wishing to address this need must begin by
deciding what should be taught. For two-year schools,
the ACM has issued guidelines for several programs [1].
For four-year institutions, the curriculum remains an
open question. The primary guidelines for four-year
institutions are the dated 1991 Computing Curricula [5]
and the emerging Computing Curricula 2001 Computer
Science [3]. As the goal of these documents is to
define the core needs of the CS discipline,
understandably, neither goes beyond outlining an
introductory course in networking. Schools interesting
in educating professionals in networking and
telecommunications will need to go beyond this first
course. A key question would seem, then, in teaching
networking, what should be taught beyond the first
course?Our panel presents three quite different
positions---that the basic need can be met with a
single well-designed course, that a few advanced
courses will meet the need, and that a collection of
courses constituting a minor is called for.",

aspects of society including the business community,
the computing industry, the entertainment industry and
higher education. The computer science education
community has been quiet about issues of open source
versus closed source and the role of open source code
in the advancement of information technology. A survey
of recent issues of SIGCSE Bulletin and SIGCSE
conference proceedings shows little attention to the
role open source software should play in computer
science education. We are here to raise the question:
``What are the social and ethical responsibilities of
computer science faculty regarding open source
software?''One set of issues concerns the use of open
source software in teaching and the use of open source
development models in the teaching of software
development. Some basic questions that arise include
``Should analysis of open source (and possible
contributions to it) be the subject of class
assignments?'' and ``Should open source software
development models be taught?''A second set of issues
concerns the use of open source software in support of
teaching (e.g., using Linux as your standard platform).
Some basic questions that arise include ``Should we use
open source software to support teaching?'' and ``Are
these faculty ethically obligated to make contributions
to the open source software base?''In this panel we
will identify many of the parties involved in the
ethical and social issues surrounding the use of open
source in teaching and in the support of teaching, and
we will identify the rights and responsibilities we, as
faculty, have to the various parties. This panel will
initiate a discussion that will identify additional
parties and our further professional obligations.",

of public awareness. With the onslaught of worms such
as Code Red, national (U.S.) concern has increased
about cyber terrorism and the information
infrastructure. One educational response has been the
emergence of a number of computer security degree
programs --- at the undergraduate level, e.g., East
Stroudsburg State University of PA, and at the graduate
level, e.g., the Heinz School at Carnegie-Mellon
University. The panel members were all participants in
the Cyber security faculty development Workshop[1] held
at Indiana University of PA in August, 2001. Among the
goals of the workshop was the development of courses
that would teach the theory and application of
security, including the use of specially designed
(quarantined) ``attack'' and ``defend'' computer labs.
Additional goals include development of modules related
to security for CS core courses, and an
interdisciplinary minor for Computer Science and
Criminology majors. It was the consensus of the panel
participants that many institutions would be unable to
implement special degree programs or tracks, and, in a
significant number of cases, might be unable to
immediately implement even one specialized course. Yet,
all the participants also believed strongly that
security-related content in our computer courses can,
and should, be improved. Even if no security-based
courses are added, major and non-major courses in
computer science, CIS, etc., can do a better job of
raising awareness of threats, vulnerabilities, and
risks. Each panel member will address a specific course
or sub discipline and describe how security was infused
or added to the current curriculum. The intent is to
foster discussion regarding appropriateness and
pedagogy while relating individual experiences,
successes and failures. Audience and panel members will
be encouraged to discuss the relative merits of this

abstract = "Can students love to learn the theory of computing?
This topic is, after all, probably the most challenging
in the computer science curriculum. The academic
structure in the United States from grade school on is
not particularly good at preparing students to deal
with mathematical abstractions in any case, and the
kinds of abstractions that permeate the theory of
computing are unlike any encountered in other math
courses: strings, formal languages, and models of
computation. Furthermore, there is often little
correlation provided in a standard theory textbook
between the theory and the real world of software
development; students wonder just what the point of the
course is. It is no surprise, then, that most students
struggle with learning the theory of computing. It is
tempting to forego teaching the theory of computing,
since students not only struggle with it, but they
often retain so little of it. This would be a mistake.
Done properly, the theory course puts the ``science''
into computer science, giving aspiring practitioners a
basis for understanding the fundamental laws that
govern their discipline: there are problems that cannot
be solved, there are intractable problems, there are
limitations on the efficiency of the solutions to
problems, and so on. Students not only need to know
these fundamental truths about their field, but they
also need to be able to apply this knowledge to their
everyday work of programming. In this paper we describe
recent advances in our long-term efforts in the
Webworks Laboratory at Montana State University to make
the theory of computing accessible to students through
active learning modules designed for use on the web.
While we won't be so bold as to say that students will
actually love to learn the theory of computing as a
result of having access to these modules, we can
confidently say from our own experience that they will
find learning the theory to be more fun. And that, we
would all agree, is a big step towards helping students
learn.",

project uses binary search trees, priority queues, hash

combined to build an integrated web browser and search

long-term project of this type is that students quickly
learn that their initial design and implementation
decisions have a significant impact on the eventual
extensibility and performance of their software. This
provides numerous opportunities for students to
recognize the importance of software engineering
techniques and complexity analysis in the development
of a successful application. We present students'

Garnett Foundation, was instituted to encourage high
school girls to explore careers in the computer
industry (see {\tt
http://taz.cs.ubc.ca/swift/archives/garnett.html}). At
that time, the Garnett Foundation commissioned the
Global Strategy Group to execute a survey of 652
college-bound high school students (grades 9 through
12), to help discover directions that The Backyard
Project might take to try to move toward the mission of
the pilot program. It conducted the study by telephone
between March 25 and April 8, 1997 in the Silicon
Valley, Boston, and Austin metropolitan areas. It
conducted all interviews using a random digit dialing
methodology, derived from a file of American households
with high incidences of adolescent children. The survey
had an overall margin of error of + 3.8\%.The top six
answers from girls to the survey question ``Why are
girls less likely to pursue computer science careers?''
in order of perceived importance by the girls were:
``not enough role models''; ``women have other
interests''; ``didn't know about the industry'';
``limited opportunity''; ``negative media''; and ``too
nerdy''.The Backyard Project, in existence from
1998-2001, sponsored computer camps on college campuses
for high school girls. The first camp in 1998, served
24 girls and by 2000, it had grown to an eight-city
program designed to give 360 girls, most from
low-income families, a week to learn high tech
fundamentals and meet women in the computer industry.
This high growth rate reflects the urgent need for
programs such as this one. The following discusses the
six responses given above by the girl survey
respondents. The quotes that follow (unless otherwise
noted), speak to the issues raised in the survey and
are taken from comments made by the high school girls
attending the camp at Stanford University in 1999.",

abstract = "If you ask most children-or even most adults-to draw a
picture of a computer scientist, you are likely to get
a picture of a man. Despite the personal and
professional rewards careers in technology, women are
underrepresented in high-tech industry, and most girls
do not imagine a career technology. Positions in the
technology industry are among the most professionally
challenging and highest paying. Yet, by their choices
and preparation, girls limit their ability to work in
technology fields in the future. For example, at the
high school level where students begin to study and
prepare for careers, girls enroll in fewer computer
science courses---particularly advanced level
classes---than boys do. The reasons for the disparity
between boys' and girls' involvement in technology are
multifaceted. Boys in our culture, much more than
girls, are encouraged to engage in hands-on
experimentation that gives them an advantage in terms
of self-confidence and a willingness to experiment with
technology. Children's first exposure to computers
often comes through games and most computer games, with
their violent themes and gender stereotypes, appeal to
boys. Parents who may fail to encourage their daughters
to experiment with technology often reinforce
differences inadvertently. They are less inclined to
enroll them in after-school and summer computer
classes. Schools should help to level the playing
field. And in fact, some schools have taken steps to
reduce the gender divide in technology by setting
policies of equal access, offering more gender-neutral
software, and providing computer training and support
for teachers [1]. Despite these efforts by some school
districts, many teachers remain unprepared to integrate
technology into the curriculum or to ensure its
equitable use by students. And with enormous caseloads,
counselors can do little to offer guidance to students
and their families about academic and career
opportunities in technology. In addition to striving to
increase the number of girls involved with technology
it is also important to consider how girls are
participating in the computer culture. A common
alternative to computer science courses-and a common
point of entry for girls into the computer world-has
been courses on computer ``tools'' such as databases,
page layout, graphics, online publishing, and other
``productivity software'' [2]. These classes may teach
basic skills rather than promote higher-order learning
[3]. As such, we are challenged to create innovative
ways for understanding the role that computers play in
the education of girls and for improving their access
to and use of computers.",

issue) to promote a general increase in women's
participation in computing professions. Most of the
suggestions offered here could improve the educational
environment for both male and female students. However,
general improvements are likely to be of particular
benefit to women because women in our society do not
generally receive the same level of support that men
receive for entering and persisting in this field.
Parents, friends, and classmates seldom encourage women
to choose and continue in a computing discipline. Those
few women who declare a computing major tend to
experience continued lack of support throughout their
education. They have few female peers to call on for
help. Furthermore, students in their own and other
majors may consider them odd. Even faculty can
discourage women with unthinking remarks or with
expectations based on the assumption that men's
behavior and experience are the basis for success in
computing majors. This lack of support can block or
weaken women's commitment to computing. Moreover, when
conditions in a department are generally unfavorable,
those with a weakened commitment to the discipline
often leave at higher rates than those who have
sufficient support to overcome the conditions.",

keeping women from leaving the pipeline, there is also
an opportunity to bring women into the pipeline through
non-traditional programs, instead of requiring that
everyone enter at the undergraduate level. Both Mills
College, a small liberal arts institution for women,
and UC Berkeley, a large research university,
established programs in the 80's to increase the number
of women in computer science by tapping non-traditional
students. Both programs share the core value of
accommodating older students lacking technical
backgrounds. The two programs have produced similar
results: graduate degrees earned in computer science by
students who would not have qualified without these
programs, professional employment in the computer
science field by women and minorities, and a

discussion, set in an analysis of gender issues in
computing from childhood through college, is found in
our book, Unlocking the Clubhouse: Women in Computing

specifically to diagnose and find remedies for the
gender gap in Carnegie Mellon's undergraduate computer
science program. Female enrollment had hovered below
10\% for a number of years, and the fraction of women
leaving the program was approximately twice that for
men. In 1995, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation funded our
proposal for a two-year program, which was followed up
two years later with a two-year extension. The goal was
to understand the experiences and choices of both men
and women with respect to studying computer science,
and to design interventions that would involve more
women.",

are recent indicate that the participation rates have

within Australia, the Federal government directed all
Australian Universities to increase the number of women
in courses leading to a professional computing
qualification (i.e., information technology courses) to
40\% of students by 1995 [6].This paper details one
Australian university's approach, over a 10-year period

profession in many parts the western world has received
our attention through numerous publications, the
noticeable low representation of women at computer
science conferences and in the lecture halls. Over the
past two decades, the situation had become worse.
Please refer to the other articles in this special
issue for detailed statistics, a discussion of factors
that contribute to the low participation rate by women,
and for suggestions on how to reverse the current
trend. This paper seeks to add to the dialogue by
presenting preliminary findings from a research project
conducted in four countries. The aim of this research
was to gain an insight into the perceptions future
computer professionals hold on the category of
employment loosely defined under the term of ``a
computer professional.'' One goal was to get insight
into whether or not there is a difference between
female and male students regarding their view of
computer professionals. Other goals were to determine
if there was any difference between female and male
students in different parts of the world, as well as
who or what most influences the students to undertake
their courses in computing. The team of researchers
gave an extensive questionnaire to undergraduate
students enrolled in a variety of computing degree
programs. The students enrolled in these programs at
Victoria University of Technology in Melbourne, the
University of East London, the Chinese University of
Hong Kong, and Ithaca College located in Ithaca, New
York. This article reports on the analysis of the
results from the questionnaire. It discusses the gender
differences in the responses from the students in these
countries to try to get a worldwide perspective. At
this time, it does not yet report on the similarities
and differences between the groups of participants from
each of the four countries. Instead, it investigates
whether there are gendered differences in the views of
this rather broad sample of student population of
future computer professionals.",

(2000), in the 1997-1998 academic year 26.7\% of earned
bachelors' degrees, 29.0\% of earned masters' degrees
and 16.3\% of earned doctorates' degrees in computer
science were awarded to women. As these percentages
suggest, women are underrepresented at all academic
levels in computer science (Camp, 1997). The most
severe shortage occurs at the top level---the doctorate
in computer science. We know very little about the
women who persist to the top level of academic
achievement in computer science. This paper examines a
subset of data collected through the Survey of Earned
Doctorates (SED). The specific focus of this paper is
to identify trends that have emerged from the SED with
respect to females completing doctorates in computer
science between the academic years 1990-1991 and
1999-2000. Although computer science doctorates include
doctorates in information science, prior research
(Camp, 1997) suggests that the percentage of women
completing doctorates in information science as
compared to computer science is low. The specific
research questions are:1. How does the percentage of
women who complete doctorates in computer science
compare to those that complete doctorates in other
fields?2. How does the length of time in school and the
sources of funding differ for females as compared to
males who complete doctorates in computer science?3.
Where do women go after completing doctorates in
computer science and what positions do they acquire?
How do these experiences differ from their male
peers?",

apparent sex differences. Although the data are
fragmentary, the world of computing seems to be more
consistent with male adolescent culture than with

These observations lead us to speculate that computing
is neither inherently difficult nor uninteresting to

girls. Programs to help teachers instill computer

the questions of how and why students use this tool and
if any changes occurred in their learning behavior. For
example, did the students work solely at home more
often if they used AOF recordings? We explore students'
behavior by log file analysis and the results of a
detailed questionnaire. As the results show, it is
possible to identify different types of user. We
conclude that in this scenario lecture recording is

immediate 24/7 feedback service for students of mass
courses. A very important factor in the promoting of
learning is the possibility to resubmit answers after
receiving the feedback. However, our experience shows
that the resubmission option is not the only key
motivation factor. More important factors include the
challenge of exercises and the grading scale or the
course assignments. A successful combination of all of
these can produce good learning results.",

object-oriented CS1-CS2 sequence in which
object-orientation is thematic. Our approach integrates
several components: (i) a strong object-oriented
approach, (ii) design using UML, (iii) design patterns
to manage complexity, and (iv) complex examples and
projects to motivate the use of object-orientation and
to motivate students by solving non-trivial problems.
While this is a ``programming-first'' approach to
CS1-CS2, it addresses several disadvantages of
programming-first approaches noted in CC2001 [7]. The
approach focuses on design rather than syntax, so
students do not lose sight of the forest for the trees.
We use (relatively speaking) large and complex
examples, especially in the CS2 course, which allows us
to address in a meaningful way issues of programming in
the large. Because the approach is design driven and
heavily object oriented, the course is not biased
against novices in favor of students with prior
programming experience, since CS1 students with prior
programming experience typically have no design
experience and only procedural programming
experience.",

boundary values and degenerated cases; avoid
out-of-range values; and may even not define any base
cases when formulating recursive algorithms. We also
found that students have difficulties in evaluating

the creation of recursive descriptions using natural
language. The class discourse was recorded and
analyzed, in order to locate patterns of students'
expressions and ways of thinking. The present finding
is two-fold. On the one hand, a class genre was created
and used to refer to recursive phenomena and to
describe them verbally. On the other hand, although
they used a shared set of some agreed-upon terms, the
students tended to individually construct their unique
recursive descriptions. These individual methods of
assembly are labeled hereafter as ``private syntax''.
It is concluded that learners' and educators' awareness
of both the ``building blocks'' of any recursive
description and the several possibilities for
assembling these blocks, might help in the process of
understanding recursion in general and in further
construction of recursive functions in particular.",

the Internet and other technologies to work across time

collaborative technologies, language, and culture to
the technical problem-solving and team-building

higher programming skills from description to
production. The model is derived from problem-based
learning approaches. It is supported by an
``incremental'' web site that gradually introduces
theoretical presentations, examples, programs and
information regarding the problem. The web site is also
used as a collaboration space where students can find
partial solutions proposed by other teams as well as
``requests'' submitted by a fictitious client. At the
end of the project, each product is published and the
best teams are awarded a virtual medal. We had four
objectives. The first was to get students to share
their expertise and learn to work in teams; second, to
teach students the importance of doing a conceptual
analysis rather than jumping into programming; third,
to introduce theoretical notions, exercises, and
examples in class when the students asked for them; and
finally, to get students to formulate and describe
problems by themselves. Students had to produce a
large-scale project that consisted of simulating a
factory. The project can be understood at two levels:
the first is the problem of developing a discrete
simulation of a factory; the second is the creation of
the program itself which simulates the industrial
context by requiring constant adjustment to new
instructions and data. Although this approach requires
a lot of effort and coordination on the part of the
instructor, the benefits are definitely worthwhile. The
model provides students with a broad, in-depth and
rewarding learning experience.",

abstract = "This panel will look at how research theories
developed in the context of mathematics education can
be applied to computing science education as well as
ways in which computing science theories may be used in
mathematics education research. Computing science
education is a young discipline still in search of its
research framework [6]. A practical approach to
formulating such a framework is to adapt useful
approaches found in the research from other
disciplines, both educational and related areas. At the
same time, a young discipline may also offer innovative
new approaches to the older discipline. The mathematics
education discipline is relatively mature, with its
roots extending from the close of the 19th century. For
about the past 50 years, mathematics educators have
been studying learning theories, teaching approaches,
and other cognitive and social issues with respect to
K-12 and higher education. We have found that many of
these theories are useful for gaining insights into how
students learn and understand computing science topics,
as well as for improving how we teach these topics. For
example, the constructivist perspective, which examines
students' mental construction of knowledge [7], has had
a tremendous impact on the teaching of mathematics.
This paradigm, with its roots in Piaget's work, has
started to exert a similar influence within computing
science education, as evidenced by a recent article by
Ben-Ari [4] and a subsequent special issue of Computer
Science Education [10] that includes six articles about
constructivism in various areas of computing. Another
branch of mathematics education research theory focuses
on student conceptions of specific mathematical
concepts. For example, student understanding of the
concept of function has been researched extensively in
the mathematics education context [8]. This cumulative
body of knowledge provides a basis for analyzing
students' conceptions in many areas of a computing
science program, including functional programming,
object-oriented programming, and graph algorithms. The
panelists will examine possibilities and pitfalls in
some import and export attempts between mathematics
education research and CS education research.",

quality of feedback can be improved. In a ``multiple
choice question'' (MCQ) test the student is asked to
make a selection of one or more correct alternatives
from a given list in response to a ``question
stem''.Students rely heavily upon the teacher to
provide academic guidance. To provide individualised
guidance to student when group sizes are large can be
difficult. Feedback can be used to inspire a student
but it may also demoralise. De-motivation may occur if
the student does not understand the feedback or can not
use it to determine the correct remedial action to
improve. To provide advice that a student can use
effectively will normally require the advice to be
personalised. [1].The methods used to reduce the
distortion that could be caused by guessing include
negative marking and value choice [2]. In both these
situations the student may pay a penalty for attempting
a question where there is an element of uncertainty. A
student with doubts may avoid answering some questions
if negative marking is being used. This limits the
amount of useful information a grader can obtain from
looking at an answer sheet.",

abstract = "In case you missed the signs, design patterns [2] have
suddenly become a core programming topic. The Computing
Curricula 2001 [1] includes the topic as a major part
of SE1 ``software design,'' and in a recent survey [4]
software practitioners ranked ``software design and
patterns'' as one of the areas of knowledge they
consider most important to their work. Teaching design
patterns, however, is not so easy. Patterns need to be
studied in the context of a software design project; to
do otherwise renders the topic asomatous. We have met
with some success in using ``musical composition'' to
teach a number of standard design patterns, including
Composite, Decorator, Visitor, and Factory. The idea of
musical composition comes from Paul Hudak's Haskore
system [3].The project centers on the design of a
``musical object,'' by which we mean either a note
(with a pitch and duration), a rest (having just a
duration), or a combination of musical objects. The
combinations can be contemporaneous (as for a chord),
or sequential (like a scale). The two primitive music
types together with the combinators come together using
the Composite inheritance pattern. Decorators can then
be added to describe tempo changes (the scaling of the
duration of all parts of a musical object), pitch
transpositions, and to assign different instruments to
parts of a composition. With the descriptive part of
the system so formed, a Visitor can be used to traverse
the musical tree and generate a linear sequence of
``musical events,'' which can then be written as type 1
MIDI files for playback on most standard PC equipment.
As well as learning about design patterns, students are
given the opportunity to try their hand at
transcription or composition. Some examples of their
work can be found at

To facilitate the project evaluation, I designed three

complete, one form is given to the other team members,
and the third form is used by me to evaluate (i.e.,
grade) the project. The general team member evaluation
form asks the student if, in the student's opinion,
everyone contributed his or her fair share to the
project, how they viewed their time commitment to the
project, what the strengths and weaknesses of their
team leader were, to summarize the team dynamics on the
project, and to comment on how worthwhile the project
was. The evaluation form the team leaders complete asks
them about the contributions of their team members;
recommendations for ``pay raises,'' ``promotions,'' and
``dismissals;'' team dynamics; their strengths and
weaknesses as team leaders; and how worthwhile the

has areas for me to comment on their oral presentation,

programming assignments that are simultaneously
challenging, accessible, and practical for students
year after year. In some advanced undergraduate
courses, most notably software engineering courses,
students may specify their own programming projects. We
demonstrate here that it is also possible for beginning
undergraduate students to have good ideas for realistic
programming projects, specifically a simple IDE
(Integrated Development Environment) program which lets
the user generate a basic GUI. The program then
produces as output a Java source file, with some
event-handling code, which can reproduce the GUI. Of
course, we can't and don't expect the program to have
all the features of a professional IDE, but it could be
useful for CS1/CS2 students. A freshman CS2 student
conceived and implemented this assignment in the Spring
2001 semester as part of an honors contract. Honors
students elect to do extra work in courses for credit
toward graduation with honors. Such a student designs a
contract, to be approved by the instructor, indicating
the extra work and its effect on the final grade.
Although an honors student developed this project, this
project is suitable in general for CS2 students. We now
describe the features of the project. A settings frame
and a drawing frame appear first. The settings frame
allows the user to name the Java output file. It also
has a Save button, a text field to control the arrow
keys, and checkboxes that allow the user to choose if a
main method will appear in the output file, if the
resulting application frame will be centered on the
screen, and if window listener code will be generated
for the application frame. The right mouse button is
used to add a component. When the mouse is released,
the user chooses the component's type and then the
desired variable name and caption. Components appear as
black unfilled rectangles. The component declarations
(alphabetically by variable name) and skeleton code for
handling button clicks will appear in the output file.
Clicking the left mouse button in a rectangle turns the
rectangle red. The shift key and the left mouse button
move such a component. The arrow keys resize the
component. Component sizes will be preserved in the
output file. The component's properties are updated
with the C key. The delete key removes the component.
We believe that this project is a challenging (but not
impossible) and useful application of CS2 concepts.",

of technical developments for data provision and
harvesting. (www.citidel.org
http://www.citidel.org).The CITIDEL development team
includes people from Virginia Tech (the lead
institution), Hofstra University, Penn State
University, The College of New Jersey, and Villanova
University. CITIDEL is part of the Collections Track
activities in the U.S. National STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education
Digital Library (NSDL, www.nsdl.nsf.gov). Our focus
includes technical development, content collection,
search engine technology, assessment, and community
development. Topics presented include metadata
harvesting of collections, tailored search
capabilities, and a demonstration of the front-end
access to the educational resources related to
computing and information technology. Conference
attendees interested in having their work accessible
through CITIDEL will have the opportunity to talk with
a project representative during the demonstration time.
Avenues of dissemination include the ACM Journal of
Educational Resources in Computing (JERIC) and the
Computer Science Teaching Center (CSTC,
www.cstc.org).",

abstract = "EnViDiA is an extensible environment that visualizes
the execution of distributed algorithms by using the
visualization enhancements offered by Virtual Reality
technology. It addresses to represent the complex flow
of information tied with the execution of a distributed
algorithm in a way that also novices can easily develop
a first understanding of the algorithm behavior. In
difference to already existing tools it represents the
communication structure in a $3$D-model in which users
are immersed. This way a natural interaction based on
real world behavior is possible. The algorithm must
work correctly using any arbitrary inter`?connection of
processes represented by a communication graph. In
contrast to ordinary $2$D-worlds, complex non-planar
graph models can be nicely represented in $3$D with the
perspective adapting to the movements of the user.
Further, the orientation in the $3$D-world is
facilitated providing spatial sound. It assists the
user becoming aware of the important system events.
Students working within such an environment are more
active since they walk or fly through the distributed
system world in a game like scenario. Unlike the
textbook approach students perceive a whole system
execution instead of a series of snapshots for which
students may experience difficulties in connecting
them. The given experience is intended to help the
students to follow better the formal descriptions and
analysis of such algorithms. Undergraduate students
have developed EnViDiA as part of the LYDIAN [2]
project. The animation framework was designed for the
Chalmers VR-Cube [1], an immersive VR environment and
it is based on the problems the students experienced
themselves when studying distributed algorithms for the
first time. Although EnViDiA is intended to be used in
an immersive VR environment, it is also possible to use
EnViDiA in a simpler version on ordinary desktop
computers supporting $3$D-graphics (c.f. Figure 1). At
its current state EnViDiA supports three distributed
algorithms namely simple broadcast, broadcast with
acknowledgement and resource allocation based on the
algorithm by Ricart and Agrawala. The algorithms are
taught in a basic distributed system course at Chalmers
University of Technology. The development is about to
be continued as part of the LYDIAN [2] project. Besides
adding more algorithms and evaluating the tool at its
current state, the main focus is on providing features
to support multiple user collaboration, which are
tested at the distributed concept of
self-stabilization.",

DoIT. DoIT is an acronym for Dynamic Curriculum
Organisation by Innovation through Technology. IEEE-CS
and ACM have been working on developing a comprehensive
body of knowledge on software engineering (SWEBOK) [1].
Carnegie-Mellon Software Engineering Institute
[CMU/SEI-99-TR-032] has produced a document that
presents some guidelines for using the SWEBOK to
support effective curriculum design. Our DoIT project
has used the SWEBOK classification to map the core
units in our current BSE curriculum against the SWEBOK
knowledge key areas. In many engineering disciplines,
the accreditation of university curricula and the
licensing and certification of practicing professionals
are taken very seriously. These are seen as critical to
ensure upgrading of course content and structure where
warranted to achieve improvements in the level of
professional practice. Recognition of the core body of
knowledge in a discipline is crucial to the development
and accreditation of university curricula. DoIT system
has been engineered in a systematic and disciplined
manner and allows our Bachelor of Software Engineering
students at Monash University to view the key areas of
software engineering body of knowledge (SWEBOK) that
they learn in their core subjects of study as they
progress through our course. The main objective of the
system is to provide an Internet facility for the
students to learn about what they have learnt in their
subjects in terms of SWEBOK objectives. The main inputs
to DoIT are the SWEBOK key areas, our BSE core subjects
mapped to SWEBOK and BSE student information extracted
from Monash' student ORACLE database at the beginning
of each new semester of our BSE course. Our BSE
students are able to interact with the DoIT system to
retrieve a personalized competency profile (PCP) at the
completion of each semester of study. The contents
visualized through the web site DoIT evolves as the
students move through the course and works with up to
date information about students. The web-based system,
DoIT can be viewed at
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~doit/. The learning
outcomes from DoIT can be considered from three
perspectives [2]. It is about: Students' learning about
what they have learnt in terms of course content shown
as knowledge areas covered in SWEBOK objectives.
Lecturing staff and curriculum designers able to track
the curriculum and see how the various topics relate
together, and ascertain if there are any overlaps and
gaps in knowledge. The educational institution able to
see the organisational knowledge assets in terms of
graduate capabilities from our course.",

fasted growing trends in higher education. This
evolving trend can be classified with respect to the
underlying structure and content of these environments.
Of particular note is an e-Learning environment which
is structured asynchronously and whose content is based
solely on an electronic medium. In such environments,
classes may never actually meet and the only form of
delivery may be via an electronic lecture system. Given
this environment, how do we maintain the benefits of
the traditional classroom setting while still offering
students the flexibility they may need in having the
asynchronous environment in the first place?
Furthermore, given an electronic-only delivery
mechanism, how can both the student and the instructor
tailor e-Learning content to suit their needs. We
propose a flexible media-rich instructional method

abstract = "In the last two decades, a large amount of research
has been conducted in an effort to form a model of
student behavior when they try to solve algorithmic or
programming problems. The construction of the model is
based on the analysis of many types of data, such as
for example: (a) the characteristics of the programming
languages the students work with, (b) the strategies of
the solution that the students follow, and (c) the
characteristics of the proposed problem. However, we
must observe that modeling is often not based on
long-term observations of actual teaching and the
proposed problems are usually quite simple. In this
paper we attempt to examine a variety of aspects of
students' behavior when they learn to program. More
specifically, we study: the strategies students use in
order to develop and validate a program; the possible
role of students' errors in the development of their
programs; and the methods students use to deal with
these errors. The study was carried out on 90
second-semester CS students who worked in pairs during
the 2-hour lab session. They were given a brief
description of the Binary Search algorithm and were
asked to implement it using AnimPascal. In this study
we present the results we obtained from the analysis of
the successive versions of students' programs. Based on
these results we propose teaching methods to help
students overcome the difficulties they face when they
learn programming.",

abstract = "We are developing a model of international education
in Information Technology, the concrete realization of
which is the International Master's Program in
Information Technology (IMPIT) oriented for
bachelor-level students from Russia and Czech Republic.
The program has been running since 1998 and is realized
commonly by three Eastern Finland universities:
Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT), University
of Joensuu and University of Kuopio. The 2-years long
advanced level studies of the program consist of a
combination of courses in data processing and
telecommunication. After one year of intensive
theoretical studies the students are recruited to
companies in Finland for full-time working and master
thesis elaboration. In a larger scale the program aims
at creating wide cooperation in the fields of
education, research and business with Russia and
especially with the St. Petersburg region. Relying on
the experience gained from the so far three program
cycles, in this poster we seek to give a general
overview of the development and current status of our
model which we have seen to grow into what might be
called a working interchange between three European
countries: Finland, Russia and Czech Republic. Based on
our view that a lot of emphasis has to be put on the
students' opinions and experience of the program, we
present the results and conclusions drawn out of the
feedback gathered from the students of all three cycles
(1999-2000, 2000-2002 and 2001-2003) in the end of
October 2001.Combining our earlier experience with the
recently gathered data, we present the conclusions for
further development of our model pointing out its
strengths and weaknesses and bringing forth suggestions
on development and applicability of our model in the
future.",

The first task was to construct new core and selective
courses, while the second task involved reviewing the
existing courses to incorporate into their contents the
recent developments in the computer science discipline.
During this process, the department searched several
computing curricula, in particular, the model of the

information technology to women's participation in the
industry and in academe. It is exploratory only, based
on a review of selected government and industry reports

However, it argues that there is evidence to suggest
that discourse related to information technology has
the effect of excluding women and multi-disciplinary
perspectives. On the one hand, there is considerable
evidence that the IT industry and skills it demands are
multi-disciplinary and that many people working in the
industry, particularly women, come from a variety of
disciplines. On the other hand, despite the evidence of
the multidimensional nature of IT, the impact of
convergence, the importance of matching IT solutions to
user needs and so on, a very narrow definition of IT
dominates the discourse. This definition equates IT and
IT professionals with computer science and engineering,
disciplines which are predominately male. The result,
then of this narrow definition is to marginalize women
and their contributions. This is a pattern that has
been observed with the development of other disciplines
such as medicine. Not only does the narrowing of the
definition of Information Technology tend to exclude
and devalue the contribution of women but it also
results in marginalization of other disciplines that
would bring more ``neutral'' or ``critical''
perspectives to bear on technology. Thus the exclusion
of multiple disciplines and women may contribute to
poor technology decision-making at the societal and
organizational level.",

exclusion are supported by Knuth [17], ``In short, the
bubble sort seems to have nothing to recommend it,

Undergraduates for Self-Enhanced Learning), using which
students created expository representations of
algorithms, shared their representations with others,
evaluated each other's representations and discussed
them. The system and the activities of representation
creation, sharing, evaluation and discussion that it
supports were then studied in three experiments, which
are summarized. They show a significant positive
relationship between these constructive and
collaborative activities and algorithm learning, which
suggests that this is a beneficial pedagogical approach
for introductory courses on algorithms.",

a burdensome task that generates lots of paper, takes

of meaningful results that can be used as a basis for
improving a program. The result is often lack of active

five assessment methods that require a minimum of
paper-work and faculty time but are nevertheless
effective in presenting an accurate assessment of a

1. the Assessment Day concept; 2. personal class
assessment; 3. sampled student work; 4. faculty

``toy'' programs that are superficially tested, graded,

programming leaves students unprepared for production
programming because the gap between writing toy
programs and developing reliable software products is
enormous. This paper describes how production
programming can be effectively taught to undergraduate
students in the classroom. The key to teaching such a
course is using Extreme Programming methodology to
develop a sustainable open source project with real
customers, including the students themselves. Extreme
Programming and open source project management are
facilitated by a growing collection of free tools such
as the JUnit testing framework, the Ant scripting tool,

these tasks do not stretch the stronger students, so

solution is two-fold. First, we use a
criterion-referenced approach, where fundamentally
different tasks are set, according to the ability of
the students. Second, the differences in the nature of
the tasks reflect the differing levels of Bloom's
taxonomy. Weaker CS1 students are simply required to
demonstrate knowledge and comprehension; the ability to
read and understand programs. Middling students attempt
traditional tasks, while the stronger students are set

abstract = "Instruction on web programming at an advanced level in
computer science has been in high demand in recent
years. The topics and technologies in this area are so
vast and diverse that designing and teaching a course
requires vast knowledge and the ability to select
coherent topics and technologies that can be presented
in a semester. The students should learn enough of the
underlying fundamental concepts along with the selected
technologies so that they can practise in the real
world setting while being able to adapt and expand
beyond what was taught in class. Very few courses of
this kind if any have been taught. We describe such a
course, called Web Software Architecture, that we
created and have taught successfully last Spring. It is
a junior/senior level computer science elective course
that uses Java, Servlets, JavaServer Pages, HTML,
JavaScript, JDBC, and the Apache-Tomcat web server as
key technologies. Our experience supports the assertion
that such a web programming course has a legitimate
place in a computer science curriculum.",

variety of opinions on the role of language paradigms
in teaching programming. We have selected four
divergent opinions: Armstrong says that concurrent
programming is considered difficult because it is
taught in the wrong paradigm, namely imperative or
object-oriented programming. Instead, concurrency
should be taught using a paradigm that makes it simple.
Flatt says that everyone should be taught how to
program, not just computer science majors. Further,
programming should be taught as an extension of what
students already know, which is algebra. More important
than a particular paradigm, however, is teaching
students a design process. Magnusson says that
object-oriented programming must be the first and
principal paradigm, because it is best for teaching how
to analyze problems and structure solutions. Other
paradigms can be taught after students have a solid
understanding of OO. Van Roy says that programming
should be taught in terms of concepts, not paradigms.
Common paradigms (functional, OO, etc.) then appear
naturally, depending on the concepts used. .The panel
will confront these opinions to enrich our
understanding of how to teach programming.",

correctly. And unfortunately many textbooks present
flawed implementations of this operation. In this

testing object equivalence, a technique that
simultaneously brings together important mathematical
foundations (equivalence relations), practical
programming issues (inheritance, casting, dynamic
typing), and sound software design (design patterns) in
a natural and compelling way. While Java is used to
demonstrate how the semantic flaws are corrected and
the design improved using our techniques, the design is
general enough that it will be clear how the same ideas

panel will look at how research theories developed in
the context of various areas of science education can
be applied to Computing Science Education as well as
ways in which computing science educational theories
may be used in those areas. Because Computing Science
Education is a young discipline, it is still in search
of its research framework [2]. In formulating such a
framework, it can be practical and productive to adapt
approaches from research in other disciplines, both
educational and related areas. At the same time, the
younger discipline can offer innovative new approaches
to the older discipline. The panelists will examine
possibilities and difficulties in some import and
export attempts between several areas of Science
Education Research and Computing Science Education. For
this context, science is considered to include

writers are beginning to incorporate the use of these
frameworks into ``CS2'', the traditional first course
in data structures at the university level. There has
scarcely been a discussion of how these frameworks
should best be incorporated into CS2, if they should be
used at all. The proposed panel will examine the role
of standardized framework libraries in the first data
structures course at the university level. Panelists
will focus on the following questions. What are the
fundamental objectives of CS2, and what role might
frameworks have in meeting these objectives? How does
an instructor balance student needs for additional
instruction in programming basics (e.g., arrays and
pointers) versus practice in larger scale design and
code reuse? What would be given up to incorporate
frameworks into CS2? And to what extent is it important
for students to construct elementary data structures
from first principles? What assumptions about student
cognition and learning does a pro- or con-frameworks
approach imply. By trying to articulate answers to some
of the above questions, we hope to raise the level of
discussion concerning the evolution of the introductory
computer science curriculum. This panel will thus try
to make explicit, and hence available for critical

can be a challenging task for students. They often
spend most of the time actually writing notes with
little time to reflect on the material presented in the

notes are a clear and concise electronic form of
lecture notes provided openly to students. I use
e-notes to complement the material presented in my
lectures and experience has shown that they offer a
distinct learning advantage over traditional forms of
note taking. As students do not have to spend time
writing copious notes, they are generally more

to use abstract classes for matrices and singly linked

The first step of the project had the students
construct a solution for a given maze. The solution was
kept simple by using the right hand rule for solving
mazes: always keep your right hand on a wall and you
will find a solution if it exists. After the students
had solved the problem of creating a solution the next
part of the project required them to create an actual
random maze. Using a matrix and a stack, the students
kept track of the path of a random solution. After a
solution path was generated the program was required to
generate a number of dead-ends. This project was very
challenging for the students. They enjoyed completing
it partially because it was graphical in nature and
they could visualize their solution.",

difficulties when learning to write procedural and

also true of students being exposed to a new

be the most effective means of assisting first time
programmers overcome learning difficulties. However,
due to large class numbers and funding constraints the
provision of one-on-one tutoring is not usually

successfully been used to tutor novice programmers on a

tutors (IPTs) are not widely used and few such systems
have made their way into the classroom. This can be
attributed to the high developmental costs associated
with building IPTs. The paper firstly identifies the
facilities that must be provided by intelligent

of developing IPTs, the paper proposes a generic
architecture for the development of intelligent

against the backdrop of current attitudes and best
practices with respect to visualization use. We suggest
a new taxonomy of learner engagement with visualization
technology. Grounded in Bloom's well-recognized
taxonomy of understanding, we suggest metrics for
assessing the learning outcomes to which such
engagement may lead. Based on these taxonomies of
engagement and effectiveness metrics, we present a
framework for experimental studies of visualization
effectiveness. Interested computer science educators

abstract = "Traditional approaches to object-oriented style
emphasize classes with a basic set of constructors and
a minimal set of methods that when combined permit the
full potential of the instance objects to be realized.
This object-oriented style is probably modeled on the
style used in mathematics and logic to develop a system
based on a minimal set of axioms and operations. The
consequences of this style both in practice and in
pedagogy are that objects enter into existence in an
embryonic state and must be nurtured to maturity by a
sequence of method calls that tweak behavior and/or add
data. Although this minimalist approach is useful in
the first stages of teaching objects and in exploratory
design, we suggest that most designs should evolve
towards building classes with a rich set of
constructors and methods so that the instance objects
may be born mature, that is, ready to use in the
program without further tweaking. In particular, we
believe that if students are taught to design in this
manner, then they will be more effective both as
students and as computing professionals. The ideas in
this article have developed from our experience in
designing the Java Power Tools (JPT) and in applying
these tools to build many labs and demo programs. We
found that using the traditional minimalist design
approach hindered our ability to rapidly develop
interesting applications. Gradually, we evolved both
the tools and the examples to be far richer and have
found that our development time has been dramatically
reduced. We believe that those who teach objects may be
interested in these principles even if they choose to
work with entirely different tools and examples.",

generally taught as an activity independent of the
programming process, most introductory computer science
(CS) students perceive it as unnecessary and even
irrelevant. The concept of contracts, on the other
hand, is generally taught as an integral part of the
programming process. As such, most introductory CS
students have little difficulty understanding the need
to establish contracts via preconditions and
postconditions. In order to improve teaching program
correctness concepts, we implemented ProVIDE, an
enhanced integrated development environment (IDE) for
Java [7]. Pro VIDE supports a modified version of the
``design by contract'' methodology [13] that assists
its student programmers in contract construction.
Rather than asking for both a precondition and
postcondition for each of his/her methods, ProVIDE asks
the student to simply supply a postcondition. ProVIDE
then helps the student construct the appropriate
precondition by leading him/her through an axiomatic
proof of the correctness of the method. Thus, the proof
of correctness of the method is a side-effect of the
student's need to construct an appropriate
precondition.",

abstract = "Computer science faculty in the current fast-paced
computing environment must be very resourceful; they
must constantly learn new topics and explain them to
their undergraduate students (who are familiar with the
acronyms and inquisitive about their meaning), while
not letting these exciting new topics overshadow the
fundamentals. They must analyze these new developments
to see the fundamental concepts that ultimately serve
as their basis. They must then determine how to
integrate these concepts into the undergraduate
curriculum at the correct level for their students.
This poster shows how XML (eXtensible Markup Language)
and hierarchical data structures are correlated,
allowing instructors to add XML concepts to the CS2
curriculum in a way that is fun for students, namely,
GUI development. Students typically enjoy designing
their GUIs. They find it is hard to understand how a
GUI will look without the visual aid of an IDE
(Integrated Development Environment). However, when
using an IDE, the details of how the user interface is
created are hidden from the programmers --- not just
the code, but the design principles as well. The
programmers can become dependent on the IDE for GUI
development, limiting their ability to design novel
interfaces. In addition, students who do not use an IDE
at all find it difficult to remember all their GUI
component relationships, making GUI design a trial and
error process. We seek a way for students to design
GUIs that forces them to consider how GUIs are
constructed, improving their design skills, while at
the same time making the design process as
straightforward as possible. GUIs are hierarchical in
nature because they are based on containers holding GUI
components, which may themselves be containers. Thus,
it may be helpful to utilize the notion of a tree in
the construction of a GUI, allowing development of GUIs
without the dependence on a standard IDE and without
many of the difficulties of GUI construction by hand.
As students typically learn about trees in CS2, this is
an appropriate time to introduce GUI hierarchies.
Students are also often eager to be exposed to hot
topics in computer science, such as XML. XML is
hierarchical in nature; thus, it lends itself to GUI
design. We propose integrating these ideas into an
``XML-based IDE'' that students can use in the
beginning stages of development for their own GUIs.
This makes students aware of the hierarchical nature of
their GUIs in the design phase, enhancing their ability
to develop useful and creative user interfaces. At the
same time, students are exposed to basic XML concepts
and syntax. Our ``XML-based IDE'' has two important
parts: our markup language and our code generator.
First, we developed a preliminary XML schema describing
a grammar for basic GUI programs. This schema describes
the XML tags and the relationships among them. Our XML
tags correspond to Java nomenclature (swinggui, jframe,
jpanel, jcomponent, listener, layout, etc.) as our CS2
students program in Java. After developing our schema,
we implemented a Java program to translate an XML
document conforming to our schema to corresponding Java
source files. To build a shell of a GUI program, a
student needs to write an XML document describing the
interface and run our utility program to generate the
Java source files. When the Java source files are
compiled and executed, the student can see the
resulting GUI. The student only needs to design and
implement the event-handling algorithms. Our
``XML-based IDE'' demonstrates the usefulness of XML in
other areas besides the World-Wide Web and is a
refreshing change from the standard XML examples. We
believe that our ``XML-based IDE'' is a practical and
fun way to introduce XML into the introductory computer
science curriculum without sacrificing fundamental
concepts.",

abstract = "Ectropic Design is a feature-oriented, collaborative
design method, patterned on Open Source software
development. Software evolves ectropically through the
continuous augmentation of its features, which are
bound to specific program goals. These evolving
features are defined in terms of the end-user goals the
features achieve and how the features interact, both
statically and dynamically, with other features. By
binding source code and collaboration technology to
identified program goals, Ectropic Design provides
developers with the necessary mechanisms to enhance
software continuously, while maintaining the conceptual
integrity of the program. Ectropic Design is taught as
a part of our curriculum's Sophomore required course on
Objects and Desig. In the course, we introduce students
to CRC cards (Class, Responsibility, Collaborator
cards) and scenarios. Traditionally, CRC cards are
simply 3x5 index cards, one for each class being
considered in a design, annotated with two columns: One
for the responsibilities of that class, and the other
with the collaborators that the class will need to
complete the responsibilities. Scenarios are narrative
descriptions of how the system being designed should
respond to user-initiated events. We have students
understand enjoy, and actually use CRC cards in the
introductory object-oriented design process. We
attempted to teach a more sophisticated design process
that would grow upon the students' interest in CRC
Cards, and we provided a design tool to support that
process. The Ectropic Collaborative Design Environment,
ECoDE, is a development tool designed to capture CRC
Cards and Scenarios, and it provides a natural
mechanism for tying these two design notions to the
underlying code the students were writing. The results
of using ECode in the class were not as promising as we
had hoped. Students did develop much better scenarios
than they had in the past, but they did not use the
ties to code at all. More importantly, students found
that ECoDE actually stifled their collaborations: With
current computer monitors, it's much easier to gather
around a table full of 3x5 cards than a screen of
graphical index cards. Students expressed frustration
in having to learn how to use ECoDE, and indicated that
they were more comfortable with pencil and paper. An
important indicator of the usability of ECoDE was the
decision of the student whether to use ECoDE for the
final two design submissions ---for it they were free
to choose not to use ECoDE. It is interesting to note
that 68.5\% of the students voluntarily chose to use
ECoDE. The top reason given for choosing to use ECoDE
was its simplicity in updating their previous design
versions. Of the students who chose not to use ECoDE,
the reason most frequently given was that they
preferred pencil and paper (44\%). Subjectively, the
subject group documentation was much more detailed in
nature. Many of the subject group students demonstrated
a clearer personal understanding of their actual
design. A high level conclusion of our study could be,
``Beginning students will not willingly use a detailed
design process'', but that is a little too simplistic.
The students did appreciate CRC cards and willingly
used them. They did also use some of the aspects of the
Ectropic Design process, such as the emphasis on
scenarios. But simply putting things in a computer tool
does not make them better. Student's primary goal is
the completion of the program, not the design. The
limitations of a one semester course makes it difficult
to make it otherwise. It is the challenge of educators
to build design tools that will be adopted that meet
that goal. Studying ECode has given us some insight on
how best to proceed to meet that challenge.",

abstract = "Widening participation in higher education
institutions is bringing about major changes to the
student profile. New universities, especially, have
found that a higher proportion of students now come
from non-traditional backgrounds. Since there is seen
to be a correlation between increasing access to
students from non-traditional backgrounds and higher
drop-out rates [1] this trend presents problems in
terms of achievement, progression and retention.
Meeting the diverse needs of students will accelerate
changes already underway to enhance teaching and
learning in universities, but there are obstacles,
particularly the reluctance to bring about changes to
the curriculum design and delivery in case standards
should become diluted. In line with results obtained
nationally, statistical examination of our first-year
database showed that students with a GNVQ background
had an enhanced risk of non-completion. The learning
styles and strategies adopted by students and the
particular further education institution where they
previously studied are also thought to be influential
in determining a student's chance of success. It is
therefore vital that changes to curriculum, delivery,
assessment and support are underpinned by detailed
knowledge of the approaches to learning adopted by our
students, and those factors which enable and encourage
students to adopt a deep approach to learning, since a
student's approach to a given learning activitiy
depends upon his or her perception of the requirements
of the task [2].A longitudinal study is underway to
investigate the influence of entrance qualification,
feeder institution, learning styles and achievement at
level one. The research aims to enable early detection
of students at risk of being unsuccessful and to
identify the factors within the further education
environment that lead to successful learning in higher
education. The poster will outline the underlying
issues, the rationale and the approach being taken.",

abstract = "Course Marker (CM --- previously called Course
Master), is a CAA system that marks programming code
and diagrams and is a reengineered version of the
Ceilidh system. It has been used in many higher
institutions around the world, including at its
developers' base, the School of Computer Science \& IT,
at the University of Nottingham. CM allows teachers to
set exercises, and students to submit their solutions
to these exercises. Upon each submission, students
obtain immediate marks and detailed feedback from the
system [4].The system has been well received and is
excellent at marking exercises. However it can be
extended in a variety of ways. This paper describes
such an enhancement based on customising the questions
to individual students by generating a personalised set
of questions. Currently, all students are given the
same set of exercises. To improve the learning
environment, the idea is to use tailored multi-modal
questionnaires. Firstly new types of question have been
added to CourseMarker functionality. Initially these
are the fixed response type of question such as
multiple choice and multiple answer. Later more
sophisticated types based on the full power of
CourseMarker will be added. These are combined with
currently available programming exercises and diagram
based questions into a multi-modal questionnaire
consisting of multiple types of question. Initially the
questions in a given questionnaire are fixed by the
teacher and pre-selected from a question bank. The next
step is to allow the system to choose a set of
questions dynamically from the question bank so as to
give each student a different questionnaire. A major
enhancement to this, and the main thrust of the
research, is to tailor each questionnaire individually
to each student at an appropriate level of difficulty
for that students' ability. That is we will generate
personalised exercises for each student, according to
some individual student profile. Metadata for the
students' profile, such as their background, their
current level of knowledge on pre-requisite and current
topics and subjects, and their preferred or best
learning modes, are to be stored in a user model [2].
All this information can be obtained by interacting
with applications such as Knowledge Tree [3] and WHURLE
[1] and by using the outcome of earlier questionnaires.
This poster presentation will explain the work involved
to incorporate these enhancements.",

abstract = "This paper presents the authors' observations
regarding two modes of teaching undergraduate computer
architecture [2] conducted at California State
University, Chico. Two sections of the course were
offered: Section One was taught using a traditional
classroom setup, while Section Two was taught in a
classroom equipped for distance education. Although
Section Two seemed to provide fewer opportunities for
in-person, student-professor interaction, the students
were given three options to choose how to access the
class lectures. Students could (1) attend a live
lecture on campus that was simultaneously being
archived and broadcast on the Web; (2) attend a live
lecture from a remote site via the Web; or (3) view
archived class sessions via the Web. Access to live
broadcasts or archived sessions was done using
HorizonLive [1], a web-based teaching, learning, and
interactive communications software platform. Archived
lectures were available to all students registered in
the course. Since the students in both sections were
demographically proportional, the authors' dependent
variable was the method of delivery. Using
HorizonLive's tracking facilities, which keep track of
every single access by each student, the authors were
able to collect and analyze frequencies and patterns in
accessing the course lectures. The authors also
correlated results from student evaluations of the
course with the tracking information. The authors
conclude that even though students from Section Two
enjoyed the flexibility of keeping up with the lectures
at their own pace, the grade for undergraduate students
did not reflect their overall satisfaction and time
spent online. Students registered for Section Two of
the course, on average, received lower grades than the
students registered for Section One. The grade
distributions are summarized in Figure 1. The grading
policy for the computer architecture course was a
minimum passing grade of C for undergraduate students
and B for graduate students. Thus, 86\% of the
undergraduate students in Section One completed the
course successfully, compared to 23\% from Section Two.
Alternatively, graduate students' grades were
proportional to the time they spent accessing the
online lectures: only 1 of the 3 graduate students of
Section One passed the course, compared to 4 of the 5
graduate students in Section Two. Students seemed to
have learned more of the course material due to the
availability of the archived lectures. Since the sample
size of this study is rather small, the statistics may
biased. The data from this study seem to indicate that
graduate students benefit more than undergraduates from
web-based learning used to promote or enhance the
traditional learning environment. Based on this study,
the authors conclude that the time students spent
accessing online lectures is not a significant factor
to their final grades.",

abstract = "Distance Education has entered a new era, where it is
now possible for courseware to be delivered online in a
very effective, efficient and appealing manner. At the
Institute for Advanced Education in GeoSpatial Science
(IAESG), a project funded by NASA, it is our objective
to develop a repository of dynamic online coursework in
the field of Geospatial Information Technology. These
courses are intended to enhance the traditional
university learning through visually rich content, and
also through closely emulating the concept of an Expert
in a virtual environment. It thus becomes imperative to
address a number of pedagogical issues in the design of
such a dynamic web-based course delivery system.
Traditional education generally involves two main
entities: an Expert, and some form of reference
material such as a textbook. The Expert imparts
knowledge interactively in the real world, and is in
some sense the more 'active' or 'intelligent' agent,
whereas the textbook is just reference since it has
limited scope, and hence is the 'passive' or 'static'
agent. Thus the pedagogical issue that needs the most
immediate attention, while dealing with
learner-centered online course delivery is the issue of
how to emulate the real-world Expert in a virtual
learning environment. We realize that the role, the
Expert plays in knowledge transfer is multi-faceted.
One of the roles of the Export is to use traditional
testing methodologies like quizzes and exercise to
evaluate the performance of a learner. In an online
environment, the best way to achieve this continuous
evaluation is to get constant feedback on the
performance and learning style of the student, via
'Student Status Monitoring' (SSM) tool. The research we
present focuses on this pivotal aspect of effective
online learning.",

abstract = "In an attempt to better integrate discrete mathematics
into the introductory CS curriculum, we implemented
ProVIDE, an enhanced integrated development environment
(IDE) for Java that enables students to analyze their
computer programs (in terms of their correctness) while
they are creating them [1]. The primary goal of the
construction of ProVIDE is the seamless integration of
analysis with the creation of computer programs.
Because the concept of program correctness is generally
taught as an activity independent of the programming
process, most introductory CS students perceive it is
unnecessary and even irrelevant. The concept of
contracts, on the other hand, is generally taught as an
integral part of the programming process. As such, most
introductory CS students have little difficulty
understanding the need to establish contracts via
preconditions and postconditions. The approach we have
taken with ProVIDE is a modified version of the
``design by contract'' methodology. Rather than asking
the student programmer for both a precondition and
postcondition for each of his/her methods, ProVIDE asks
the student to simply supply a postcondition. ProVIDE
then helps the student construct the appropriate
precondition by leading him/her through an axiomatic
proof of the correctness of the method. Thus, the proof
of correctness of the method is a side-effect of the
student's need to construct an appropriate
precondition. In this demonstration, we will show some
examples of method precondition construction (including
loop invariant construction) within ProVIDE, including
the following squaring algorithms that uses only
additions (which highlights the construction of a loop
invariant for a single loop) and only increments and
decrements (which highlights the construction of loop
invariants for both sequential and nested loops),
respectively.",

abstract = "The students of basic programming courses encounter
often very serious learning problems. This is mostly
due to the fact that even basic programming concepts
and structures are abstract and need to be understood
before a student can learn more practical issues. If
these concepts remain hidden for the students they tend
to drop out or finish the course with low marks when
trying to learn more advanced concepts without the
basic knowledge. To avoid the drop out problem there
has to be an effective way to help the students with
difficulties during the first steps of programming
studies. It is a fact that there hardly ever exists any
extra resource for these students. With interactive
material the students can try by themselves to reach
such level of skills to be able to learn more.
Codewitz-project was set up to try to correct this
problem in basic programming courses. The basic idea of
the project is based upon the idea of sharing. There
are three main goals in this project: Developing and
producing interactive material for basic programming
courses. Implementing a material bank for storing and
sharing the resource with the project partners creating
a functioning network of experts who deal with this
problem every day. This demonstration will illustrate
the idea of the material, the production process and
the use of it. The project is open to any institution
interested in taking part in the development work. The
project website: http://www.codewitz.net.",

conducted on computer science programs, and ignores the
fact that many students enter the IT workplace with
degrees in Information Systems (IS) or Information

a greater emphasis on applications. Given the reported

at Stephen F. Austin State University. It provided a
team software development experience, encouraged
enriched learning about software process models, served
as the object of black-box testing, and gave students
the opportunity to perform software maintenance
activities that mimic real-life situations. A graduate
software engineering class developed a tool to
recommend consideration of appropriate software process
models according to the responses to a small set of
questions concerning the development environment and
the nature of the project. Later, undergraduate classes
performed black-box testing to determine whether the
artifact performed correctly. More than a year after
the original development, a second graduate class was
challenged to perform maintenance actions on the
product, about which none of the students had any
knowledge or experience.",

with level of experience of using such techniques.
Those with no experience of CAA suggest that it cannot

students who arrive at university with a record of
success in earlier studies may be more likely to

likely to do well in the mathematical part of the

perspective has led to demands for an artifact-driven
curriculum that I believe is inadequate for the
education of future computer scientists and
computational engineers. (The latter is a new term I
wish to propose for people engaged in the
scientifically-based design and construction of systems
that perform computations. It is linguistically modeled
on the terms mechanical and electrical engineer, and is
intended to take the place of the term software
engineer.) A comparison of the CC2001 curriculum with

and error approach to fixing errors and debugging for
too long. Moving to a reflection in action strategy can
help students become more successful. Traditional
programming assignments are usually assessed in a way
that ignores the skills needed for reflection in
action, but software testing promotes the
hypothesis-forming and experimental validation that are
central to this mode of learning. By changing the way
assignments are assessed--where students are
responsible for demonstrating correctness through
testing, and then assessed on how well they achieve
this goal--it is possible to reinforce desired skills.
Automated feedback can also play a valuable role in
encouraging students while also showing them where they
can improve.",

Engineering (UE) course provide opportunities for
students to put the abstract ideas of what they have

students with opportunities to learn that the process
of usability engineering is rarely as smooth as it
would seem in the abstract. Moreover, term projects
give students the opportunity to learn about specific
methodologies and notations. One critical phase of the
term project is the user interface specification; in
our undergraduate UE course we have found the
specification phase to be a significant pedagogic
challenge. Key elements to that challenge are: (1)
Presenting the project requirements in such a way that
the students can generate a specification, (2) Defining
the form and format for student work, (3) Teaching the
process of specification and (4) Assessing the
students' work. In this paper, we describe our approach
to each of these four challenges. Since 1996, we have
had good success with our approach; however, student
data suggests that students still find the UE
specification process difficult. In Spring 2003, we
added some extra steps in our process that seem to lead
to greater student understanding and success.",

used to teach computer science have become increasingly
complex. This added complexity puts pressure on
designers of introductory courses, who must cover more
material in an already overcrowded syllabus. The
problem of complexity is exacerbated by the fact that
languages and tools change quickly, which leads to
profound instability in the manner in which computer
science is taught. The situation has reached a point
where it is difficult for individual computer science
teachers to keep up. This paper examines the factors
that promote complexity and instability in computer
science. It then goes on to argue that we, as
educators, must take responsibility for breaking this
cycle of rapid obsolescence by developing a stable and
effective collection of Java-based teaching resources
that will meet the needs of the computer science
education community. Such an initiative is already in
progress under the direction of a special task force
appointed by the ACM Education Board. The charter and

coherent computing curriculum is which programming
environments to use across the curriculum. For Java,
currently the most widely used language in computing

available---including the increasingly popular,
open-source Eclipse environment. Professional IDEs for
Java work well in advanced courses, but they are poorly
matched to introductory courses because they deluge
beginning students with a complex array of features. In
addition, professional IDEs fail to shield students
from distracting complications like the Java command
line interface and Java console I/O. For this reason,
many educators favor using a ``pedagogic'' IDE such as
BlueJ or DrJava to provide a gentle introduction to the
mechanics of Java programming. To eliminate the gap
between pedagogic and professional IDEs for Java, we
have developed a plug-in for Eclipse that supports
exactly the same programming interface as DrJava. It
features an Interactions pane for evaluating program
statements and expressions ``on the fly'' as in DrJava.
With this plug-in, Eclipse is accessible to beginning
programmers. In this configuration, Eclipse is a
suitable vehicle for teaching introductory
programming--enabling Eclipse to be used across the
entire spectrum of the computing curriculum.",

Memory diagrams focus on how, in an abstract sense, the

Though memory diagrams are a simple idea, by careful
use of shape and placement, a number of key points
about the meaning of a program fragment can be conveyed
visually. We have found a correlation between a
student's ability to construct these diagrams and that
student's comprehension of object-oriented concepts. We

(AI) by asking students to implement agents that embody
intelligent behavior. This helps students gain a fuller
understanding of the many concepts taught in the
course. There are two issues with this approach that
deserve attention. First, students come into an AI
course knowing how to program in different languages
and having different levels of programming ability.
Second, it's useful for the students to have a single
task environment for all of the agents they program. A
solution to both issues lies in a distributed system
where the agents are clients communicating with a
server that handles a configurable task environment.
This allows the students to program their agents in any
language and on any platform they desire, so long as
they can communicate with the task environment server.
If the task environment can be configured to provide
additional levels of complexity and difficulty, this
allows students to program at a level they are
comfortable with. They can then challenge themselves by
incorporating more advanced capabilities into their
agents. This paper presents just such a distributed and
configurable task environment that was developed for an
undergraduate AI course.",

abstract = "This is the thirty-fifth SIGCSE conference. Off-by-one
bugs notwithstanding, it seems safe to assume that the
members of the SIGCSE community have been teaching
programming for at least 35 years. Have we improved the
teaching of programming in that time? We have changed
languages, we have occasionally changed paradigms, and
the platform we use to teach programming is effectively
infinitely more powerful than it was 35 years ago.
However, if we use the SIGCSE proceedings as a snapshot
of the state-of-the-art in teaching programming, it's
possible to take a view that ``the more things change
the more they remain the same.'' In this talk I'll
review what the community has had to say about teaching
programming and what it is saying today. The community
does not always speak in one voice, but there are
established trends that illuminate what we as a
community view as important. In 1974 David Gries
discussed how we should teach programming and used this
analogy: ``Suppose you attend a course in cabinet
making. The instructor briefly shows you a saw, a
plane, a hammer, and a few other tools, letting you use
each one for a few minutes. He next shows you a
beautifully-finished cabinet. Finally, he tells you to
design and build your own cabinet and bring him the
finished product in a few weeks. You would think he was
crazy!'' As part of this talk I will demonstrate how I
teach program-building and why I think that if we do
not program in front of our students we cannot
effectively teach programming. I hope to convince you
that programming should be taught by demonstration and

on the comparison of the quantitative data captured
from the closed-laboratory sessions (assignment grades,
number of syntax / semantic errors, and the number of
compilation / execution attempts) involving subjects
that used a new programming environment featuring a
less complex interface in two forms: one lacking
support of language subsets, and one supporting the
application of language subsets. We found that while
using the environment supporting the application of
language subsets, there was no difference in the
compilation-attempt rate, the number of errors did not
increase, and student grades were equivalent between
the experiment groups. Additionally, following a
migration to the professional environment from the
simplified environment, student grades were equivalent
to those that had used the professional environment
throughout the experiment. Student reaction to the
experimental environment was very positive, especially
related to the removal of unused tools and project

improve student learning by introducing new styles of

most courses, however, these proposals have not

methods. Most institutions still use a traditional
lecture/lab class approach with a strong separation of
tasks between them. In part, this lack of change is a
consequence of the lack of easily available and
appropriate tools to support the introduction of new
approaches into mainstream courses. In this paper, we
consider and extend these ideas and propose an approach
to teaching introductory programming in Java that
integrates assignments and lectures, using elements of
all three approaches mentioned above. In addition, we
show how the BlueJ interactive programming environment
[7] (a Java development environment aimed at education)
can be used to provide the type of support that has
hitherto hindered the widespread take-up of these
approaches. We arrive at a teaching method that is
motivating, effective and relatively easy to put into
practice. Our discussion includes a concrete example of
such an assignment, followed by a description of
guidelines for the design of this style of teaching

and networks has led departments to consider offering
elective courses on the topic. Textbooks exist that can
help support such a course, but providing students with
hands-on wireless networking experience can be
difficult and expensive. We present the outline of a
wireless networking course that can be offered with
minimal resources, and describe our experiences using
the approach. The students who took the initial
offering of the course gained hands-on experience with
wireless networking, did traditional sockets
programming, and acquired the theoretical foundations
of both traditional and wireless networking. Students
implement a simplified IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet
MAC layer as a course project. In our case, the
implementations took advantage of the Cybiko, a \$50
wireless handheld computer targeted at teenagers. Our
materials are currently being ported to other
platforms, including Bluetooth-enabled Palms and
networks of workstations. The latter platform will
allow this project to be conducted without any special

very interested in Internet technology because of the
rapid growth in that area. Of particular interest is
the need for practical experience in network design and

curriculum includes the study of theory and the
laboratory projects. The laboratory projects are
designed to give students a better understanding of
computer networks. Most of the laboratory projects are
software projects. Furthermore it is common to find
projects in the area of implementing an application
layer protocol and protocol observations in many
computer network course textbooks [7,11,12]. However,
having a networking laboratory with the proper hardware
facilities to teach real networking has several
difficulties. These difficulties include funding for
the hardware facility, physical space limitations, and
physical accessibility of the lab facility [6,10]. We
have designed a networking lab that can solve these
problems. Old PCs have been converted to IP routers
with the free router software Zebra [5]. The proposed
laboratory system can be accessed through the Internet,
and the network topology can be changed remotely.",

taught using one of two approaches: abstract or

concepts underlying operating systems theory, and
perhaps apply them using user-level threads in a host
operating system. In the concrete approach, students
apply concepts by working on a real operating system
kernel. In the purest manifestation of the concrete
approach, students implement operating system projects
that run on real hardware. GeekOS is an instructional
operating system kernel which runs on real hardware. It
provides the minimum functionality needed to schedule
threads and control essential devices on an x86 PC. On
this foundation, we have developed projects in which
students build processes, semaphores, a multilevel
feedback scheduler, paged virtual memory, a filesystem,
and inter-process communication. We use the Bochs
emulator for ease of development and debugging. While
this approach (tiny kernel run on an emulator) is not
new, we believe GeekOS goes further towards the goal of
combining realism and simplicity than previous systems
have.",

were once fairly simple devices with little

attention on issues of information privacy, computer

Yet despite all of this attention, there is some
confusion about what is actually encompassed by those
terms. There are some obvious components, such as
cryptography and access control. However, the list of
undisputed topics is not long or well-developed, and
many questions arise as to whether a typical computer
science department can offer all of the topics
involved. That there are only a few universities that
teach a comprehensive curriculum in these topics serves
to illustrate the imprecise nature of the field. Many
professionals have taken to describing it as
``information security'' or ``information assurance''
to distinguish that the focus is not on computers and
networks, but on the information they hold and process.
This talk will present a more comprehensive view of the
area than simply within the confines of CS/CE. The
speaker has been teaching information security for
nearly 20 years and has developed a view that spans
many traditional disciplines. The talk will present
some of the reasons for that breadth of view,
illustrated with examples taken from the recent CRA
Grand Challenges Conference on Information Security.
One conclusion from this talk is that getting good
information security education widely implemented may
not be simple, given current constraints and traditions
within academia.",

about nine weeks of a thirteen week course, leaving
time for a treatment of more traditional CS0 topics

intelligence, the limits of computability, PC
architecture, Operating Systems, CMOS and logic

success of this approach. We also argue that wide scale
success in teaching web programming to non-majors could
enhance the students productivity when they enter the

abstract = "The event driven paradigm is ubiquitous in modern
software. Many texts introduce events when discussing
graphical user interfaces, but the event paradigm
extends well beyond that domain. Events also play
important roles in operating systems, component based
systems, reactive systems, middleware, web services and
other fields. Computer science educators have an
obligation to see that our students thoroughly
understand the event paradigm and have some grounding
in tools to develop event driven systems. This paper
describes an upper division, computer science elective
course in event driven programming. The course gives a
comprehensive treatment of event driven systems. It
appropriately captures the importance of the event
paradigm and serves to integrate concepts from several
different computing fields, including Programming
Languages, Operating Systems, and Software Engineering.
It also introduces students to advanced tools and
packages designed for developing event driven systems.
The course has been taught four times at our
institution, having repeatedly received high marks from
the students for both its conceptual and technical
content.",

little is known about which features are most important
to their success. We believe that pedagogically useful
visualizations exhibit certain features that hold
across a wide range of visualization styles and
content. We began our efforts to identify these
features with a review that attempted to identify an
initial set of candidates. We then ran two experiments
that attempted to identify the effectiveness for a
subset of features from the list. We identified a small
number of features for algorithm visualizations that
seem to have a significant impact on their pedagogical
effectiveness, and found that several others appear to
have little impact. The single most important feature
studied is the ability to directly control the pace of
the visualization. An algorithm visualization having a
minimum of distracting features, and which focuses on
the logical steps of an algorithm, appears to be best
for procedural understanding of the algorithm.
Providing a good example for the visualization to
operate on proved significantly more effective than
letting students construct their own data sets.
Finally, a pseudocode display, a series of questions to
guide exploration of the algorithm, or the ability to
back up within the visualization did not show a
significant effect on learning.",

examines the role of computer science in undergraduate

programs exemplify two substantively different
approaches to undergraduate education in bioinformatics
due to the fact that they are at markedly different
institutions. One institution is a large, technical
university, offering both undergraduate and graduate
degrees in bioinformatics while the other is a small,
Jesuit liberal arts college with an undergraduate
program in bioinformatics. Despite these differences
there is considerable overlap with respect to the role
of computer science. This paper discusses the ways in
which computer science has been integrated into these
two undergraduate bioinformatics programs, compares
alternative approaches, and presents some of the

departments is how best to get new graduate students
involved with their chosen research projects. Ideally,
the incoming graduate students will as a whole have
both a solid understanding of computing principles
behind large-scale software development and a broad
``skill set'', e.g., for conducting systems-oriented
research. This rarely occurs, due to the diversity of
backgrounds of incoming students--even the most
qualified applicant can have deficiencies. To address
this problem, we have developed a first-year graduate
course that balances and integrates practical
considerations with basic principles of complex
software system development. To make the discussions of
designing, implementing, and evaluating complex
software systems more concrete, we situate the core of
the class in the context of Web Services. We are
currently teaching this class for the second time, and,
while there will always be open issues given the nature
and scope of this class, we have received positive
feedback from the students and the other members of the
department. Students recognize the practicality of Web
Services. Students also appreciate the research
possibilities that arise while evaluating the state of
the art with regard to Web Services.",

programmers to find algorithms and implementations that
solve specific problems. The search engine is not
keyword based but rather requires users to provide
(input ? output) samples that describe the behavior of
their needed algorithm. The system is easy to use. To
search for a particular algorithm or classify a
combinatorial structure a user simply draws the query
in a drawing pane on a web browser. The result of the
search is a list of links to web resources describing
or providing implementations of the algorithm.
A?goVista has many interesting applications in an
educational setting. The search engine can help
research students classify obscure problems and locate
algorithms that would otherwise be hard to find in
textbooks. Students can also add calls in their own
programs to A?goVista's database of executable problem
specifications in order to dynamically check the
correctness of their programs. Finally, instructors can
use A?goVista to set novel assignments in algorithms
and data structures classes. This paper briefly
describes A?goVista and reports on its use in two
algorithms and theory classes, one at the undergraduate

Computer science is one of the few new disciplines that
evolved and grew, searching and finding its place
between other disciplines such as mathematics,
electronic design, economics, and others. By its
origin, it was an interdisciplinary challenge. And this
challenge still exists. New fields of applications
emerge, while the basic foundations are still in
question. Is computer science really a ``very large
application of logic'' as Edsger Dijkstra once
summarized? Is it shifting towards one of the
fashionable media studies, or should it evolve to a
serious engineering practice as David Parnas points
out? There seems to be a long winding road before us
--- but there is neither a ``dead-end road'' nor a
``giant leap'' in sight. Quite certain, computer
science will reposition under the influences of new
application like digital media and the demands of other
disciplines from genetics and nano-technology to
marketing, also known as ``customer relationship
management''. What is new for computer science
compared, let's say, to literature, chemistry, or
astronomy? Probably, it is the steady flow of new
connections to other fields whether as application
areas or as deeper connections as in bioinformatics,
digital media, or computational linguistics, where
computer science does neither stand as a fixed body of
rules and methods, nor as a well-defined field of

meaningful, if lengthy, names are actually desirable
and serve to clarify the work that takes place in the
various procedures. Finally, because the structure of a
COBOL program is so determinate, it is possible to
teach a series of steps leading up to the end product,
which both foreshadow and greatly organize the process

transferable to other contexts.",

system of education in the 1960s to a more inclusive
system of education in the 1990s has been a great
success story. Computer Science has played its part,
becoming a subject taught in some form in almost every
university in the developed world. Those of us who were
in the subject at the start of its significant growth
remember the battles to get Computer Science recognised
as an acceptable academic subject, and the ways in
which it subsequently came to dominate many of the more
traditional subjects in a university's portfolio. But
as we move into the 21st century universities are
entering the most volatile and turbulent time for
higher education since the early 1980s, and the dangers
for Computer Science are acute. For the first time in
its history Computer Science is not expanding; other
disciplines are encroaching on its territory; the
science base (at least in English schools) is in
decline; the computing industry is tentative. We are
now seeing 18-year-old students with at least 10 years
computing experience, who can write flawless code while
holding a dozen simultaneous e-conversations and
watching the TV. In their highly parallel universe,
they find ``hello world'' uninteresting (even if it has
a browser interface). They are natural collaborators
--- wired, extrovert and hyper-social; they are digital
natives whereas their teachers are digital immigrants.

theoretical unit on computational models. It includes
deterministic and non-deterministic finite automata,

properties of context free languages, Turing machines,
the Church--Turing thesis and the halting problem. This
paper focuses on part of a study we conducted dealing
with the achievements of high school students studying
this unit. Specifically, this paper compares the
achievements of students on the technical parts of this
unit vs. its theoretical parts. We also examine the
correlation between achievements of students studying
the Computational Models unit, and two other factors:
The students' previous computer-related background (not
necessarily computer science) and the level on which
they studied mathematics.",

in an attempt to provide a rich and engaging learning

how to ensure that the ILE would appeal to students who
found the domain difficult and to increase their
learning and motivation to learn. A design approach has
been developed which aims to address these issues using
a narrative based framework. The ILE is (briefly)
described and an initial evaluation of its use
presented. The paper concludes by identifying the
aspects of the ILE, which appealed to the students.",

abstract = "Importing design patterns from software engineering to
the computer science education (CSE) field was followed
by defining patterns and pattern languages suitable for
CS courses. The main goal of incorporating patterns in
CSE was to enhance students' programming abilities, as
well as their design and problem-solving skills.
Accordingly, various instructional materials were
suggested for using patterns in classroom learning
activities, such as collections of patterns and related
programming assignments. However, the existing
pattern-based materials seem to be insufficient for
implementation in the classroom, especially when
teaching introductory courses that emphasize syntax and
programming language features. Therefore, alternative
methods using applicative models for pattern-based
instruction, which emphasize problem solving and
program design issues rather than specific language
features and syntax, should be developed and
assimilated within the CS teaching community. We
believe that successful implementation of such models
should be accompanied by appropriate teacher-training.
In this paper we describe an initial effort to expose
CS teachers to the notions of pedagogical patterns and
pattern-based instruction, aimed at motivating them to
meaningfully adopt and adapt patterns to their concrete
pedagogical needs.",

bringing in concepts and insights from curriculum
research and curriculum theory. This offers an
additional view on the curriculum schemes besides the
more disciplinary content driven approach that mostly
dominates the curriculum work. We analyze three
curriculum schemes: Computing Curricula 2001 (CC2001),
Informatics Curriculum Framework 2000 (ICF-2000) and
Career Space (CSP) with two confronting exercises. The
first exercise introduces the concepts of planned,
enacted, experienced, and hidden curriculum and applies
these to the process of development and implementation
of curriculum schemes in general. The second exercise
positions the three curriculum schemes in a generic set
of curriculum components that is being used frequently
in, for example, secondary education as well as in
other disciplines. It appears that quite a few
components are not included. The paper concludes with
some suggestions for improving the development process
of curriculum schemes.",

and annotate responses with ink as they are being

learning SQL. SQLator's key function is the evaluate
function, which allows a user to evaluate the
correctness of his/her query formulation. The evaluate
engine is based on complex heuristic algorithms. The
tool also provides instructors the facility to create
and populate database schemas with an associated pool
of SQL queries. Currently it hosts two databases with a
query pool of 300+ across the two databases. The pool
is divided into 3 categories according to query
complexity. The SQLator user can perform unlimited
executions and evaluations on query formulations and/or
view the solutions. The SQLator evaluate function has a
high rate of success in evaluating the user's statement
as correct (or incorrect) corresponding to the
question. We will present in this paper, the basic
architecture and functions of SQLator. We will further
discuss the value of SQLator as an educational

science, an understanding of how students learn about
CS concepts, how different concepts are understood, as

issues. A better understanding of our students and
their learning gives us a strong tool in our efforts to
develop teaching. There is an increasing awareness of
the usefulness of theoretically sound research
approaches: it opens for generalisations of results, it
invites comparison between researchers, methods and
results, and at the same time it makes the limits of
the research visible. As examples on initiatives that
have lately been taken to promote a conscious use of
relevant research approaches, can be mentioned the
bootstrapping project [13], the special issue on import
and export of Computer Science Education (to appear),
as well as papers offering overviews of the current use
of certain approaches ([4], [8]) and attempts to
verbalize models for a successful research process
([5], [6], [12]).These initiatives do not advocate the
primacy of a certain approach over others. This
openness is well-grounded, since ``a particular
approach offers certain perspectives on a research
question, and, in this way, enables the researcher to
study [these] aspects of learning, while other aspects,
that are not in focus using the selected approach,
become unclear or 'blurred' (Berglund, submitted for
review). Thus, the selection an approach is closely
intertwined with the research question under
investigation. In this panel, the theoretical
foundations for four different research approaches will
be described, and examples of research performed within
each of these approaches will be given. The examples
will serve to illuminate which kinds of results that
can be offered by a particular approach, and thereby

abstract = "This poster explores some of the issues associated
with teaching computer science to students with
dyslexia. Issues associated with both student learning
generally and computer science specifically are
considered. The accessibility of teaching materials
made available through virtual learning environments
(VLEs) is addressed. Twelve resulting guidelines
particularly relevant to students with dyslexia are
outlined. More specifically to computer science, the
issues associated with programming are explored through
the development of a mapping of the features of
dyslexia to the tasks involved in writing a computer
program. Preliminary evidence, from both the wider
dyslexia community with computer programming experience
and some early interview results, are presented to both
support the mapping and draw out other important
issues. This poster describes results generated from a
LTSN-ICS Development Fund project, entitled 'Impact of
Learning Disability on the Study of Computing'. This
project seeks to investigate the impact of learning
disabilities on students who are following a course of
study in the computing curriculum. It looked at how
best to deliver materials through the University's
Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and then focused on
issues surrounding students with dyslexia and computer
programming. The introduction of the Special
Educational Needs and Disability Act [1] and the
Disability Discrimination Act part IV [2] provides an
opportunity and incentive to review teaching and
learning methods and see how the needs of the students
with special needs are addressed. In the case of a
computing department, this should include general
aspects, for example accessible provision of
e-resources, and also domain specific aspects, for
example programming. This poster looks at both of these
aspects. Leeds Metropolitan University (Leeds Met.) is
a large (37,000 students) university of applied
learning, with a policy of widening access to higher
education. The School of Computing has approximately
1,500 students enrolled on a variety of HND and degree
programmes, of these on average 20 are registered as
dyslexic at any given time. This is in line with the
occurrence of dyslexia across the University as a whole
and the general higher education student population,
1.2 per cent to 1.5 per cent [3]. There is, then, a
substantial and persistent number of individuals that
require support within the school. The poster begins by
outlining the sources of standards and guidelines
relating to the provision of accessible Web based and
e-learning materials and then highlights those
considered particularly pertinent to students with
dyslexia. It then focuses in on specific issues
associated with computer programming and dyslexia. In
order to do this, first the features of dyslexia, both
negative and positive, are outlined. A model of the
processes involved in computer programming is then
proposed. This allows an interaction matrix of the
features of dyslexia and the process stages of computer
programming to be developed. Preliminary evidence is
then presented from correspondents of a Dyslexia e-mail
forum, which supports the interaction matrix and raises
additional issues. The results of an interview with a
Computer Science student with dyslexia are also
presented. This poster is based on earlier work
[4,5].",

abstract = "Online retailing (e-tailing), which is believed as a
major technological innovation has aroused significant
attention both in literature and business.
Nevertheless, while there are abundant adoption studies
from consumer perspectives, few studies provide
concrete analysis of organizational views. To study
organizations' behavior of the e-tailing adoption, the
well-known innovation theories (e.g., [1], [2].)
provide a valuable base for investigation. However, the
major problematic issue in previous innovation theories
is the inconsistent findings across studies. A
determinant found significantly to an innovation
adoption in one study can be insignificant in another
study regarding the same innovation typology. It is
suggested that more insights in research design be
added to the theories before they are employed. The
objective of this study is to provide a critical review
in order to summarize and explain those inconsistent
finding; and to propose a framework with new
theoretical relationships to investigate the
determinants affecting firms' intent of ``e-tailing''
adoption. It is indicated that the past inconsistent
findings can be caused by mismatch between specificity
and generality within a study; and inattention to some
interactive relationships among the identified
determinants [3]. With respect to the issues, a
theoretical framework is proposed to test the new
relationships among the four determinants namely (1)
Perceived Characteristics of Innovation (PCI), (2)
Characteristic of Environment, (3) Characteristic of
Organization and (4) Characteristic of Top Management.
Hierarchical Regression Analysis is used to test the
model with variables entered into the regression
equation by the assigned steps. It is expected that a
firm who perceives better of e-tailing i.e., relative
advantage and compatibility will have better attitude
toward its adoption and have higher adoption intention.
Besides these, higher competitive pressure, lower
channel pressure, bigger firm size, more available IT
infrastructure and innovative top management are
expected to positively correlate with the intention.
However, the real co-relational strengths of those
relationships should be moderated by the firm's
attitude toward the adoption. For example, competitive
pressure is likely to make a firm more innovative in
overall; however, whether a company is really willing
to adopt a particular innovation would be affected by
its attitude toward that innovation. Positive
(negative) attitude can increase (decrease) the
intention. This moderating effect, which has not
addressed by past innovation theories, can explain the
inconsistent findings. Figuring out what determinants
affect the adoption of e-tailing among organizations
provides significant implications. It is useful for
managers to evaluate those internal and external
factors of their firms. It helps managers position
their firms for the decision of online marketing.",

abstract = "Learning is a highly individual process. Some prefer
learning by reading the course material, others learn
best by listening to a lecture, while some like to
learn in a trial-and-error way by themselves in a
laboratory assignment. A good learning scheme is
individual. A scheme that is good for some persons
might not at all be good scheme for someone else. It is
important to understand your own personal way to learn,
but also when organizing a course individual learning
alternatives should be acknowledged. Examination in a
course can be seen as a test occasion or as a learning
occasion. Traditionally, examination has been an
occasion where knowledge is tested. Written exams can
be used to test the theory and laboratory work to test
practical aspects of the course material. For
laboratory work the distinction between learning and
test of learning is somewhat unclear. The learning and
the test of learning are mixed. However, in
general,examination can be seen as an occasion to learn
and/or to test knowledge. We have, in a Computer
Architecture course, taken the view that (1) learning
is an individual process, and (2) that examination is a
learning occasion. The consequence of our view (1) +
(2) is basically that examination should be individual,
or student-oriented. Alternatives to traditional
examination is also supported when taking gender,
cultural, and age perspectives. We therefore developed
two examination tracks where the students in the
beginning of the course decided what track to follow.
Common for both tracks is that credits are given that
can be counted for in the written exam. The students,
individually or in pair, define their own laboratory
task related to a course topic such as cache-memories
or pipelines, solve the task and present the results in
front of the class. Each student designs individually a
multiple-choice pre-exam question (specifying what it
tests, the question and correct answer). A student
friend corrects the question and might improve it if
needed. The teaching assistant selects questions for
the multiple-choice pre-exam. Each student also creates
individually one exam question, which a student friend
corrects and if needed improves. Each part (lab
presentation, creation and evaluation of pre-exam
questions, pre-exam, and creation and evaluation of
exam question) is given credits that are included in
the written exam.",

priority among the most of the EU Countries.
Nevertheless, off-the-shelf Computer Science books are
not particularly tailored to children, who rather need
their own language, which is based on fantasy,
self-identification, analogy, play, and diverse other
features which characterize their bubbling world. These
are the main motivations for the introduction of a
novel and more children-oriented approach to Computer
Science. The manual in use at the University of Verona
illustrates the hardware components of a PC. It is
composed of eight Chapters. Under the child's point of
view, the PC is a Realm where diverse Subjects coexist
together. The Realm is lead by His Majesty whose name
is Si Piuh. The Mother and the servants are necessary
for Si Piuh to complete the job. In this work we'll
examine some features of the first chapter where the
principal hardware components are presented. The
hardware components can be imagined as people who live
in a Realm. All the people of the Realm are Goblins,
each one devoted to a particular role. With a bit of
fantasy, in a Realm there are exactly the same
relationships one can find in a PC: gates to the
external world, artists who produce paintings and
sounds, Masters who guide the whole process, libraries
to store material, buses to transport material,
ambassadors who know communication protocols, servants
and as many other Subjects as one can imagine. The PC
(i.e., the Realm) is lead by the CPU, i.e., His
Majesty. The name of the king is Si Piuh, which stands
for the Italian pronounce of CPU (fig. 1).
Synchronizing all the activities inside the PC is a
very hard work. By analogy, leading the Realm is not as
easy as one can think.",

abstract = "Whilst the object oriented paradigm and its
instantiation within programming languages such as Java
has become a ubiquitous part of both the commercial and
educational landscapes, its usage as a visualisation
technique within Mathematics undergraduate programmes
of study has not been widely recognised. By regarding
the object oriented paradigm as a medium for conceptual
exploration (rather than merely as a tool) the aim is
to show how the close conceptual links between object
orientation and certain mathematical structures such as
rings and groups can be more fully realised, using the
ready-made Java package com.perisic.ring [2]. The
package provides classes for abstract rings and can in
addition be used as a reference model for other
mathematical objects such as groups or vector spaces
[3].The intention behind the approach offered here is
to build upon these enabling foundations so as to
reveal the fundamental synergies that exist between the
various entities that are central to the OO paradigm
(such as Abstract Data Types) and abstract mathematical
structures (such as Rings and Groups). By inviting
students to revisit certain fundamental OO constructs
and techniques (such as classes, polymorphism,
encapsulation and inheritance) within the context of
pure mathematics, students may perhaps gain a deeper
insight into mathematical abstractions and related
algebraic structures. The idea is to generally
reinforce students' learning and to generally enhance
their mathematical maturity through a process of ``live
engagement'' with a familiar and indeed ubiquitous OO
paradigm. It is clear that for some authors at least,
the use of Java in Mathematics is seen to be purely
pragmatic: i.e., merely as a convenient tool used to
engineer a graphical user interface or to explore
distributed programming [1]. However there has been a
heated on-going debate that has sought to identify
whether the ``correct'' use of a computer and other
automated devices such as calculators, genuinely aids
students' learning and analytical abilities, or whether
such usage may actually be detrimental to the
development of mathematical maturity [1]. We prefer to
believe that Java may have a deeper role to play.
However, rather than directly seeking to contribute to
this pedagogic debate between ``reformers'' and
``traditionalists'' our aim here is to show how
(conceptually) the two discipline areas are mutually
synergistic. In particular we show how gaining a deeper
insight into, and understanding of, object oriented
techniques can in fact provide an ideal pedagogic
opportunity for our undergraduate target audience to
better visualise, hence understand, certain abstract
mathematical concepts and entities.",

abstract = "Computer science instructors periodically need to
update their classroom examples and programming
assignments in order to reflect changes in current
practice in the field and to discourage copying by
students. As experienced CS2 instructors, we regularly
face this challenge. The topics in our CS2 course are
standard and include recursion, lists, stacks, queues,
and trees (including B-trees as well as standard binary
search trees and AVL trees). Our students use Java
(including GUIs). We have experimented with having
students use and write programs to visualize various
data structures. The students have written programs to
visualize search trees using the traditional approach
in which ovals represent nodes and lines represent
links. They have also written programs to visualize
search trees via a Web browser [2]. We propose an
alternate visualization technique based on treemaps. We
believe that treemaps are a rich source for classroom
examples and assignments for CS2 instructors. Trees are
useful for storing hierarchical data, and they are
naturally recursive. A tree is either empty, or it has
a root node with subtrees. A root is connected to its
subtrees by links or branches. We had an idea to draw a
tree in a square, which would be split into multiple
rectangles, one for each node in the tree. As we moved
down a level in the tree, we toggled the direction of
the split in the rectangles from vertical to horizontal
or vice versa. The root node's size in the current
rectangle corresponded to its relative weight in the
current subtree. The structure of the tree could be
inferred by the relationships among the rectangles and
their relative widths and heights. We drew several of
these embeddings by hand and noted that the patterns
resembled art by the Dutch abstract artist Piet
Mondrian [6]. We then implemented this visualization
using the Java Power Tools [4] library and noted that
this visualization can be enriched with colors and
graphical patterns, as in the Kaleidoscope example [3].
Our idea is an active research area in computer
graphics [7]. However, it still appears to be a novel
teaching idea for CS2. Ben Shneiderman [5] was the
first to study two-dimensional space-filling
representations of trees; he called them ``treemaps''.
His motivating problem was to visualize directories in
order to determine disk utilization. His algorithm was
similar to our algorithm. XML documents can also be
visualized using his algorithm and others [1]. Our goal
is to synthesize this treemap visualization literature
[1, 5] into classroom materials for CS2 instructors.",

on-line learning community to facilitate the
interactions of the student (teams) in their group
projects. It is illustrated with a Portal in the
capstone project of our Bachelor of Software
Engineering (BSE) course. [2] reported on our Monash
University Software Engineering (MUSE) Studio Lab and
the innovative software engineering capstone project
experience. Our student teams used to store the various
artefacts, which were produced as part of the SE Studio
(capstone) projects on the servers in the studio lab.
However, these SE product and process artefacts were
not accessible uniformly through a web browser in a
MUSE Portal. The Portal environment is aimed at
providing a virtual learning space, knowledge
aggregation and user management. In this paper, we
provide details of our pedagogical service based
framework, which has been designed and built to provide
features to Portal users. The framework supports
services such as group/team collaboration, task
tracking, and project planning. The collaboration and
learning services available from our Knowledge Portal
is based on the learning activities as defined by [1]
Nonaka1994. Nonaka defines: socializing to exchange
views and develop trust between team members,
dialoguing to share mental models and develop common
vocabulary, systemising to combine knowledge by
visualising interactions and constructing artifacts and
exercising to communicate and reflect on outcomes. We
follow a similar approach to enable team members to
discuss and reflect on group findings with respect to
SE processes \& products during the year long SE Studio
project, and reflect over individual thesis components.
A pedagogical service based framework can service the
current pedagogical needs of the SE group projects,
other related subjects, and SE Honours research
projects and is also extendible with more services on a
demand basis. The focus has been on allowing custom
subject specific services to be created without having
the inherent overheads. A pedagogical framework with
service based architecture has been built to provide
services to the Portal users. The Portal Environment is
the front-end through which services are exposed.
Examples of services are: task tracking and project
planning in group projects; collaboration between team
members in a group project in a subject unit; knowledge
repository of product/project assets; calendar facility
etc. Support infrastructure services of user
authentication, role and service allocation etc. are
also managed via the portal environment. We show how
on-line learning communities can be supported using the
MUSE knowledge portal. The framework supports services
such as team collaboration, task tracking, and project
planning. The url for MUSE Portal is

It has been successfully used to improve the teaching
of introductory programming by supplying a concrete
language in which to explain programming structures and
concepts [2]. Jeliot 3 [4] retains the novice-oriented
GUI and animation display of the previous version,
Jeliot 2000. Both versions automatically visualize the
execution of user-written Java programs. Jeliot 3
introduces a new kind of design in order to make the
system extendable and to add new features [5]. The
front-end of system has been replaced by the
DynamicJava interpreter, which was instrumented to
produce an intermediate code, MCode, describing the
program's runtime trace. The MCode trace is then
rendered by the graphics back-end. The previous version
of Jeliot animated variables, expressions, I/O and
static method calls. Jeliot 3 is also capable of
animating concepts for object-oriented programming:
objects, class inheritance, constructors, method calls,
instance fields, and reference semantics of arrays and
objects. Jeliot 3 is intended to be a simple tool to be
used in different kinds of learning scenarios [3]. It
can be used to show and teach the basics of programming
during a lecture. The lecturer can explain different
concepts and show their corresponding animations with
Jeliot. Students may use Jeliot 3 by themselves after
the lectures to complete and understand the follow-up
assignments related to the concepts learned at the
lectures. Jeliot 3 can be used as a tool in interactive
laboratory sessions. The visual display of the program
can be used to facilitate communications about the
errors. It can also support virtual courses, as where
Jeliot 3 provides a tool that can assist students when
external help is not available. Jeliot 3 is available
under the GPL for downloading at
http://www.cs.joensuu.fi/jeliot/. We intend to form a
community around Jeliot 3, where teachers, students and
developers could propose ideas and solutions in order
to im- prove Jeliot 3 and the teaching of programming.
The forum is available on the website and open for
anyone interested. There are also plans for further
development, for example, a new tool called JeCo

abstract = "Teaching skills for problem solving is usually
accomplished on the basis of good examples of problems
and corresponding sound solutions. By studying
well-constructed examples the student learns how to
analyze and decompose non-elementary problems and
learns how to provide well-organized solutions. The
tools we demonstrate support the teacher in presenting
problems in an effective way and help the student in
solving them. The teacher chooses a problem and
provides a solution within Access or Excel, usually
reducing the original problem to a collection of
simpler, logically related sub-problems. The system
thoroughly analyzes the teacher's solution and provides
feedback about its structure as well as many
automatically generated solution hints for the student.
The teacher may add his own suggestions and establishes
the form and content of the problem's presentation.
Essentially, the teacher can specify which aspects of
his own solution should be visible to the student. In
this way, the difficulties for the student to solve the
task can be largely controlled. The problem is proposed
as a (possibly incomplete) set of sub-problems whose
mutual relations may be left partially unspecified. In
the same vein, some of the suggestions may be hidden in
the initial problem presentation. The student can ask
for hints during his solution attempts, and receives
them at the price of penalties in the final evaluation.
The results that the teacher's solution produces for
the different sub-problems are supplied to the student
(just the results, not the solutions). This provides
three main benefits. The first one is motivational: the
teacher's result is a clearly visible goal to reproduce
and, by simple comparison, provides immediate feedback
about the correctness of the student's solution
attempts. The second benefit stems from the fact that
the student is allowed to face the collection of
sub-problems in a more flexible way. In fact, he can
exploit the teacher's results to solve a particular
sub-problem, independently from the sub-problems that
he has (or has not) already solved. Finally, since the
teacher's hidden solutions provide results that are
assumed to be reliable, if the student uses them
instead of his own results, error propagation is
totally prevented. The system uses the teacher's
results to automatically check the correctness of the
student's results by comparison, and by considering
different data samples the system infers the
correctness of the student's solution. Moreover, since
correctness is established by comparing results, the
system will accept any solution that produces the same
results as those arising from the teacher's solution,
regardless of how the former are obtained.
Experimentation with the system at the Italian Naval
Academy has given good evidence that non-elementary
problems can be proposed in a working context where
students are stimulated to elaborate personal
comprehension and to develop original solution
techniques. The engineering of the system has been
funded by the AICA-CRUI project ``IT4PS --- Information
Technology for Problem Solving''.",

abstract = "There is plenty of evidence to suggest that
collaborative working has much to offer the learning
process. Though it is used in many different
disciplines, its use is curtailed largely due to the
fact that many feel that the assessment is rather
subjective and often unfair. It is difficult to
identify individual contributions within a team. Some
students can avoid making any real contributions whilst
being carried, or hiding behind, stronger group
members. Stronger group members can become
disillusioned without the benefit of appropriate
recognition. It is important to overcome the problem of
assessing group work. One of the most powerful is the
use of VorteX, a recent development undertaken in
Aberystwyth that provides real time collaboration aimed
specifically at novice programmers offering: remote
collaborative working, individual contribution metrics,
animated replays of the entire group work, and scope
for potentially any group working exercise. VorteX has
been used with great success on a number of first year
projects as demonstrated by the following quote:``I
found the experience both enjoyable and insightful.
Initially I was a little apprehensive at not knowing
who I was working with. What I really found interesting
about the experience was that it was almost like
plugging straight into my colleague's heads, in effect
bypassing or filtering out all the visual ''noise``
associated with day-to-day communication. This
permitted us to operate mainly on an intellectual
level. Working in this way allowed Student-X [a
profoundly deaf student] to interact with us on an
equal footing without the usual communication problems
and physical barriers enabling him to work freely and
express his ideas effortlessly. Significance and
Relevance of the Topic: Many academics share the
opinion that collaborative work is of significant
value. Unfortunately the available methods of
assessment make it hard to use to its full potential.
This demonstration will introduce new ideas that will
make assessment much fairer and less subjective.",

provided access to all types of hypermedia information,
and made things so much more exciting. [1] Being able
to see graphics juxtaposed with text coming from
computers far, far away was revolutionary. It
revolutionized the way we shared information with
others. (Granted, the ease through which information
was shared, lowered the average quality of the material
available. But still, more and more useful material
became easier and easier to access.)",

to theoretical design from a functional dependency
standpoint. Functional dependencies are rules of the
form X-{$>$Y}, where X and Y are attributes of a
relation r(R). Those rules express the potential
one-to-one, and many-to-one relationships among the
attributes of R. Unfortunately finding the non-trivial
rules X-{$>$Y} from an existing arbitrary relation is a
hard problem. We present an extension of the SQL-based
algorithm of Bell and Brockhausen [1] to explore a
relation and find its exact and approximate functional
dependencies. We use the g3 measure of Kivinen and
Mannila to express the degree of approximation of a
dependency. This application could be used either as an
example or a project in an advanced database course.",

not know how to program at the conclusion of their
introductory courses. A popular explanation for this
incapacity is that the students lack the ability to
problem-solve. That is, they lack the ability to take a
problem description, decompose it into sub-problems and
implement them, then assemble the pieces into a
complete solution. An alternative explanation is that
many students have a fragile grasp of both basic
programming principles and the ability to
systematically carry out routine programming tasks,
such as tracing (or ``desk checking'') through code.
This ITiCSE 2004 working group studied the alternative
explanation, by testing students from seven countries,
in two ways. First, students were tested on their
ability to predict the outcome of executing a short
piece of code. Second, students were tested on their
ability, when given the desired function of short piece
of near-complete code, to select the correct completion
of the code from a small set of possibilities. Many
students were weak at these tasks, especially the
latter task, suggesting that such students have a
fragile grasp of skills that are a prerequisite for
problem-solving.",

different institutions can have similar outcomes, and
how there may be some cross-institutional contextual
issues that we might address. We will begin presenting

present how classroom climate and the way CS is
sometimes taught can lead to negative experience of

abstract = "Networking course projects are usually described by an
informal specification and a collection of test cases.
Students often misunderstand the specification or
oversimplify it to fit just the test cases. Using
formal methods eliminates these misunderstandings and
allows the students to test their projects thoroughly,
but at the expense of learning a new language. SeSF
(Services and Systems Framework) is one way to overcome
this obstacle. In SeSF, both implementations and
services are defined by programs in conventional
languages, thereby, eliminating the need to teach the
students a new language. SeSF is a markup language that
can be integrated with any conventional language. The
integration of SeSF and Java is called SeSFJava.
SeSFJava provides a technique to mechanically test
whether student projects conform to their corresponding
specifications, thereby, providing the instructors with
a technique for semi-automated grading. We present a
four-phase transport protocol project, and describe how
SeSFJava is used in specifying, testing and grading the
different phases of this project. The use of SeSF
significantly (1) increased the percentage of students
who completed the projects, (2) reduced their email
queries about the specification, and (3) reduced the
grading time.",

practices into academic programs in areas such as
computer science, software engineering, and information
systems. This special session will help us work

is to provide students with useful experience that will

experience is usually a class project that is meant to
expose students to the issues associated with real

rarely have the time required to manage software
projects in addition to their normal pedagogical
duties. As a result, many software engineering courses
compromise the project experience by reducing the team
sizes, project scope, and risk. In this paper, we
present an approach to teaching a one-semester software
engineering course in which approximately 30 students
work together to construct a moderately sized (22 KLOC)
software system. This approach provides a more
realistic project experience for the students, without
incurring significant managerial overhead for the
instructor. We present our experiences using the
approach for the spring 2004 software engineering

transition from procedural to object-oriented
languages. It is still common to present recursion late
in the course and to focus on traditional, procedural
examples such as calculating factorials or solving the
Towers of Hanoi puzzle. In this paper, we propose that
the shift to object-oriented programming techniques
calls for a significant shift in our approach to
teaching recursion. First, we argue that in the context
of object-oriented programming students should be
introduced to examples of simple recursive structures
such as linked lists and methods that process them,
before being introduced to traditional procedural
examples. Second, we believe that this material should
be presented before students are introduced to
structures such as arrays. In our experience, the early
presentation of recursive structures provides the
opportunity to reinforce the fundamentals of defining
and using classes and better prepares students to
appreciate the reasons to use classes to encapsulate
access to other data structures when they are
presented.",

grade assignments by checking out each student's

are relevant to their world, both in terms of graphical
interfaces and, more importantly, the application area.
To be fully engaged they must find the application of
importance. However, we have found that many
assignments in computer science attempt to engage the
students by moving further and further away from the
underlying machine representations. This causes a
disconnect between the applications our students write
and the material we present on machine representations
and architecture. We present examples of assignments
based from the fields of Steganography and Cartography
that we have found to be valuable in helping to
reinforce the importance of machine representations
with today's students. We found that the students were
excited and intrigued to see how their discipline could
play a vital role in the war on terrorism and how what
they were learning in their CS 1 course was directly
relevant to what they heard on the nightly news and

learn more from projects that are fun and challenging,
that seem ``real'' to them, and that allow them to be
creative in designing their solutions. When we have
students beating down our office doors wanting to show
us what they've done, we know we have designed a
project that truly meets its pedagogical goals. In CS1
courses, it is often difficult to come up with large,
real-world programming projects that are at an
appropriate level and that really excite students. This
is particularly true in the first half of the course
when students are learning basic programming and
problem solving skills. We found that assignments based
on image processing are an effective way to teach many
CS1 topics. Because students enjoy working on the
projects, they come away with a solid understanding of
the topics reinforced by the projects. In this paper,
we discuss many ways in which image processing could be
used to teach CS1 topics. As an example, we present two
image processing projects that we use in our CS1
course. These large, real-world programs are designed
so that students can successfully master them early in
their first semester of programming. Even though our
CS1 course is taught using the C programming language,
these projects could easily be used by a CS1 course in
C, C++, or Java. We provide starting point code for
Java and C versions of the projects, and provide sample
assignment write-ups on our project webpage [12].",

Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science curriculum.
Most visibly, Java replaced C++ as the exam-testable
programming language. More fundamentally, however, the
AP CS curriculum now places a greater emphasis on
object-oriented design than in previous years. Students
are expected to be able to implement interfaces, design
and implement class hierarchies using inheritance,
analyze the tradeoffs between alternative designs and
their associated efficiencies, and make use of Java
Collection classes where appropriate. This special
session is intended to inform both high school and
college teachers as to the extent of these changes and
how they affected the development and grading of the
2004 AP CS exams. In addition, it will provide
practical insights as to how the new curriculum can be
taught in high schools, and how teachers can better
prepare their students for the exams. The AP CS
Development Committee's charge is not only to provide a
comprehensive testing mechanism, but also to recommend
a direction that high school teachers should take in
preparing a foundation for more advanced student
studies during college. This special session will bring
together two college and two high school members of the
AP CS Development Committee to share some of their
insights into the AP program. AP teachers will learn
valuable information to continue to support their shift
to Java in the classroom and about the exam for which
they are preparing their students. College teachers
will learn more about the AP CS curriculum and test
development process, which may aid them in similar
course redesigns and in the placement of students with
AP credit. Time will be provided to discuss

successful activity teaching some elementary digital
image processing to students at years 9 and 10 of
secondary school. The activity involves working with a
digital camera, taking, capturing and saving images,
and exploring pixel values and their relationship to
image brightness and colour. We also perform some
elementary processing tasks: thresholding, changing
spatial resolution and quantization. Students then have
a brief introduction to spatial filtering, followed by
some examples: image blurring and edge detection. The
activity finishes with some binary morphology. Given
that digital image processing is usually offered only
at the upper undergraduate or postgraduate level, we
have demonstrated that it is quite possible to
introduce some image processing concepts in a friendly
and supportive environment to students in the middle
years of their secondary schooling.",

not always appropriate for assessment of different
instructional interventions. They tend to focus on the
final product rather than on the process that led to
it. This paper presents intention-based scoring (IBS),
an approach to measuring programming ability that looks
at intermediate programs produced over the course of an
implementation rather than just the one at the end. The
intent is to assess a student's ability to produce
algorithmically correct code on the first attempt at
achieving each program goal. In other words, the goal
is to answer question ``How close was the student to
being initially correct?'' but not to speak to a
student's debugging skills or ability to ultimately
produce a working program. To produce an IBS, it is
necessary to inspect a student's online protocol, which
is simply the collection of all programs submitted to a
compiler. IBS involves a three-phase process of (1)
identification of the subset of all programs in a
protocol that represent the initial attempts at
achieving programming goals, (2) bug identification,
and (3) rubric-based scoring. We conclude with an
example application of IBS in the evaluation of a
tutoring system for beginning programmers and also show
how an IBS can be broken down by the underlying bug
categories to reveal more subtle differences.",

academic year 2003-2004, on fifteen factors that may
influence performance on a first year object-oriented
programming module. The factors included prior academic
experience, prior computer experience, self-perception
of programming performance and comfort level on the
module and specific cognitive skills. The study found
that a student's perception of their understanding of
the module had the strongest correlation with
programming performance, r =0.76, p {$<$0}.01. In
addition, Leaving Certificate (LC) mathematics and
science scores were shown to have a strong correlation
with performance. A regression module, based upon a
student's perception of their understanding of the
module, gender, LC mathematics score and comfort level
was able to account for 79\% of the variance in
programming performance results.",

answer yes or no to questions that evaluate the quality
of the design and code. Then each group answers the
same set of questions. When the groups have completed
their evaluation, the class joins together to reveal
and discuss the answers. This design was successfully
implemented during the 2003-2004 academic year in an

apply it to the above union of token classes to model a

visitor to the tokens. For non-terminals that have more
than one production rule, the corresponding visitors
are chained together according to the chain of
responsibility pattern in order to be processed
correctly by a valid token. The abstract factory
pattern, where each concrete factory corresponds to a
non-terminal symbol, is used to manufacture appropriate
parsing visitors. Our object-oriented formulation for
predictive recursive descent parsing eliminates the
traditional construction of the predictive parsing

Inter-object design patterns make it, in theory,
possible for beginning programmers to create
well-understood forms of such programs. However, their
descriptions have been targeted at experienced
programmers with knowledge, for instance, of the
implementation of compilers. We show that it is
possible to explain and motivate several of these
patterns including the iterator, model-view-controller,
model-interactor, observer, fa{\c{c}}ade, composite,
and factory patterns by showing them working ``in the
small'' in simple examples. We have effectively used
this approach to teach an undergraduate class including
several college freshmen and one high-school junior,
who were able to exercise the patterns ``in the

patterns in isolation is similar to studying a foreign
language with only a dictionary.'' [4]. It is far
better to try to teach design patterns using killer
examples to help motivate and illustrate each pattern.
I propose here something a little more radical: to
teach by stealth. With a small number of principles of
good program design, and using a running case study
that grows in complexity through the semester, we can,
through class discussions and exercises, ``invent''
programming solutions that turn out to be some of the
important design patterns. The official names and
definitions of the pattern [2, 3] are revealed only
after the fact, if at all.",

generating code which can then be used to closely
examine the comprehension ability of students. The
first method takes as input a suite of template
programs, and performs slight mutations on each program
and ask students to comprehend the new program. The
second method performs traversals on a syntax tree of
possible programs, yielding slightly erratic but
compilable code, again with behaviour that students can
be questioned about. As well as generating code these
methods also yield alternative distracting answers to
challenge the students. Finally, this paper discusses
the gradual introduction of these automatically

has proposed changes in the structure of the criteria
used to accredit computer science and information
systems programs. The new structure combines, into
so-called ``general criteria,'' components of criteria
that apply to any computing program accredited by CAC.
Individual program areas will supply criteria that only
apply to that specific program area, to supplement the
general criteria. The new criteria format allows CAC to
accredit additional program areas, such as information
technology. In fact, program criteria for information
technology also have been proposed. This session will
discuss the new criteria structure, including the
proposed general and program criteria, changes to
existing criteria, and the timetable for implementation
of the new structure.",

real-world computation metaphor we call the
``computational servant''. All Flip instructions and
definitions are documented as well-defined
``bureaucratic-style'' activities performed by the
servant, involving typical office objects like pencil,
notebook, eraser, clips, rolling paper and post-it
labels. The key metaphoric characteristic of the Flip
language is that it ``uses'' a traditional notebook
with numbered pages and rows to store program content
(including variables), while programs written in the
Flip language can be directly compiled and run using a
standard C++ compiler (as far as the Flip header file
is included).",

really want to talk about misinformation.. Most
citizens in what we laughingly call an ``information
society'' derive most of what they know about their
world from the mass media, for example from television,
newspapers, more recently and increasingly from the
World Wide Web and other such sources. But while it is
true that the content of the mass media as a whole is
from 90 to 95\% trash, it is a mistake to blame the
media establishment alone for the peoples' miserable
state of world knowledge. Where, after all, is
information created, where does it come from? The media
delivers not ``news'', not ``information'', it delivers
messages (signals) that, in order to produce
information, must first be converted by the work of
interpretation. That labor can be done only by (in the
present context) the human mind. Information =
interpretation (signals).Information theory teaches
that messages have no information content, their
interpretation does. And, what is most important, an
interpretation of a message is a function of the state
(or, in other words, the expectations) of the receiver!
It follows that understanding a message, say the
``news'' delivered on television, involves the existing
state of knowledge of the viewer, hence his or her
education, socialization, indeed, in principle his
whole life history. For us as educators, also as
computer scientists, this implies that we must be
attentive to the ``state of the receiver''. We must be
attentive to the forces that influence the ability of
our students to make sense of the signals they receive
from us, from the media and from the rest of their
world. We must teach them to think critically, and this
foremost by means of our own example.",

introductory programming classes in these languages

complexity comes from the large number of concepts and

that object-oriented programming places on abstraction.
We believe that by placing a larger emphasis on testing
in programming assignments in these introductory
courses, students have an opportunity for extra
practice with the language, and this affords them a
gentler transition into the abstract thinking needed
for programming. In this paper we describe how we
emphasized testing in introductory programming
assignments by requiring that students design and
implement tests before starting on the program itself.

very important aspect in the process of education. Two
of the most commonly used assessment methods are oral

taking written tests, and we show the advantages of
oral exams over written tests. However, we do not

investigates the knowledge that Computer Science
students have about the extent of their own previous
learning. The study compares self-generated estimates
of performance with actual performance on a data
structures quiz taken by undergraduate students in
courses requiring data structures as a pre-requisite.
The study is contextualized and grounded within a
research paradigm in Psychology called calibration of
knowledge that suggests that self-knowledge across a
range of disciplines is highly unreliable. Such
self-knowledge is important because of its role in
meta-cognition, particularly in cognitive
self-regulation and monitoring. It is also important
because of the credence that faculty give to student
self-reports. Our results indicate that Computer
Science student self-estimates correlate moderately
with their performance on a quiz, more so for estimates
provided after they have taken the quiz than before.
The pedagogical implications are that students should
be provided with regular opportunities for empirical
validation of their knowledge as well as being taught
the metacognitive skills of regular self-testing in
order to overcome validation bias.",

Furthermore, CS students need an experimental

their skills at creating and supporting these virtual

virtual world made up of emulated computer systems and
emulated networks. This emulated world will be the
students' testing environment, where they can run their

security attacks without any danger to real networks
and systems. It is a virtual space based on virtual
machines and virtual networks but it is also a meeting
place for computer science students, where they can
test the effectiveness of their ideas. This ``space''
therefore is a twice virtual space, which we call

students who undertook an XP-based project as part of

PFLAT is not intended to replace but rather complement

Computer Science programs offer an introductory

many institutions have subjected this course to major
changes. One common alteration has been a move from a
procedural paradigm to an Object Oriented (OO)
paradigm. In many cases, this is manifested as a change
to programming in Java. Emerging from this transition
is the apparent anomaly that many students fail to
understand OOP concepts, especially when required to
use them in problem solving. Our panel represents
researchers from four different countries who have all

abstract = "This poster describes the use of the BlueJ Java IDE in
a data structures course. The BlueJ IDE is an excellent
tool for teaching programming using an objects-first
approach. Learners are able to create, inspect and
interact with instances of classes without the
requirement to initiate a process with a main method.
The ability to inspect 'live' objects can provide
insights in specific areas of programming beyond the
basic concepts. We have made use of BlueJ in an
introductory course on data structures for students who
have previously learned object oriented programming
using BlueJ. The course deals with stacks, queues,
lists, binary trees and graphs. Descriptions, diagrams,
animations and simulations can all play a part in
understanding the way in which these structures store
and provide access to their data. However, interacting
directly with actual objects which have been
instantiated from code which the student has written
can make the data structure much more tangible. The
capability in BlueJ to inspect an object and to
navigate object references to inspect associated
objects allows a direct visual exploration of the
internal representation of a data structure. For
example, BlueJ allows the student to write a linked
list class, create and populate an instance of the
class, and visually inspect the nodes of the list.
Object references can be followed from node to node to
traverse the list. This experiment provides strong
contrast with a visualization of the storage in an
array list. The point can be emphasized that data
structures with the same interface can have completely
different internal representations. Similarly, a graph
data structure is represented diagrammatically in terms
of vertices joined by edges. However, there are a
number of ways in which graphs can be represented
internally, including adjacency lists and adjacency
matrices. An adjacency list representation consists of
a list of vertices, each of which is associated with a
list of edges originating from that vertex. BlueJ
allows visual exploration of such a structure, which
can then be related back to the diagrammatic
representation. Since BlueJ also allows API class
instances to be inspected, the internal representations
used by the Java Collections Framework classes can be
explored. The poster shows examples of visual
exploration of data structures with BlueJ. Further
materials will be available at:

abstract = "Developing Computer Science curricula for children is
a priority in most countries. In Italy, for example,
the Minister of Education has recently reformed the
Primary School curricula (6 to 10 years old). One of
the main priorities concerns Computer Science. However,
CS curricula for children do not seem to take into
account ``their particular world'', since they are an
``abstraction'' or a reduction of classical Computer
Science curricula for adults. In addition, children CS
curricula are often left as the last topic of the
``rethinking processes'' in the Academic courses of
Computer Science. Amazingly, there is a lack of
attention on the ``crucial'' age for the development of
many features concerning intellect and personality. New
approaches need to be worked out to enhance children's
imagination, so as to help them to better understand CS
topics. The goal should not be devoted to CS Literacy,
i.e., specific-but-limited applications. Indeed, the
major objective must consider CS Fluency, i.e.,
building ``solid bases'' for CS knowledge. The process
of rethinking Computer Science curricula, especially
for children and youth does not seem to have started
yet. There are many confirming signals on this. One of
the most important evidence is a recently published and
detailed analysis,``Oversold and Underused. Computers
in the classroom'' by Larry Cuban (2001). The computer
is taught as a mere tool which reshapes, restructures,
resembles and substitutes other domestic devices: the
typewriter, the game machine, the CD/DVD player, the TV
and the Radio, and so on. As a result, creativity, one
of the essential ingredients of a child, is still
missing. Following these inadequate practices, children
cannot learn, explore or find their own solutions, nor
can they follow their ideas or try out new tools. On
the contrary, children need to focus on imagination,
self-identification, analogy, play, and many other
features characterizing their bubbling world. At the
University of Verona, we have been developing an
original and well founded CS course for future
children's teachers. The whole CS course is composed of
eight modules, each one referring to features of a
``Realm'' (i.e., the PC): archivists, secret agents,
carriers to the external world, travelling companies,
ambassadors and Masters. The approach is designed to
gain the child's interest; indeed, the story itself,
how the people of the realm interact with each other
and how they behave will attract and entertain the
child. In the meantime, in this way, the student will
also gain a deep understanding of computer
architecture. This is the rationale lying at the basis
of our research. Although at present there is no
statistical evidence to support this contention, first
feedbacks are encouraging: firstly, teachers have
sufficient material and content (figures, novel ways of
describing the hardware, ideas on how to describe
hardware functioning principles) in order to prepare
children's lessons; secondly, the children show deep
interest in the ``hidden'' parts of the computer; and
finally, their parents are also ``absorbed'' by the
material. However, a highly efficient research team is
needed to reach scientific results, statistical
evidence, further development, etc. Is anyone
interested in creating ``The fellowship of the CS
children''?",

abstract = "We introduce Drizzle, our new simple object-oriented
scripting language for programming LEGO MindStorms
robots, and DIODE, the Drizzle Integrated
Object-Oriented Development Environment. Drizzle and
DIODE have evolved from a student project into useful
resources for our CS0 course. In this work we describe
Drizzle and DIODE and discuss our experiences with them
in our CS0 course. We are dismayed by the low retention
rates of undergraduate majors in CS1 and CS2. To
attempt to alleviate this problem, we introduced a new
required CS0 course in Fall 2004. Its goals are to give
students a breadth-first overview of CS and to expose
them to algorithmic problem solving before immersing
them in Java. We decided to use the MindStorms robots
to accommodate student diversity, to introduce a fun
element to the course, and to force the students to
focus on problem analysis instead of detailed syntax.
Our approach complements [2].Drizzle is a simple
object-oriented scripting language. It supports
repetition, selection, simple assignment statements,
logical operators, numeric variables, and predefined
objects representing components of a robot, i.e.,
sensors, motors, and the LCD display. Drizzle is
purposely minimal to be suitable for students without
prior programming experience. To encourage
documentation, Drizzle supports comments. DIODE is the
IDE that allows a MindStorms robot to be programmed in
Drizzle. To achieve this, we used the leJOS API [3] to
implement method call abstractions supporting the
predefined objects. The IDE includes an intuitive GUI.
It allows for automatic compilation of Drizzle code,
including a translator from Drizzle to Java utilizing
the predefined MindStorms objects. DIODE also directly
interfaces to the robot's IR device. We provided these
features because our typical user was familiar with
text editing but was not familiar with command-line
tools. Our CS0 course is currently taught in one
120-student section and meets 3 hours per week for 14
weeks. At least 3 hours are spent on each of
algorithmic thinking and concepts of programming
languages before Drizzle and DIODE are formally
presented. The students see an actual problem with
pseudocode and the corresponding Drizzle solution. A
problem is then posed as a ``Drizzle Team Challenge''.
Students must complete individual solution plans. The
instructor then forms the student groups. Next, the
teams produce solution plans. Finally, they are allowed
to program with the actual robot. The lab has 3
computers with DIODE installed and 6 robots with 6
tracks. During the Fall 2004 offering, the 14 teams
consisted of between 5 and 8 students. The large class
size and small number of robots made smaller groups
infeasible. No team solved the problem totally
correctly during the first lab session. Not
surprisingly, the smaller groups were more effective.
All teams submitted at least a partial solution to the
problem; 12 completed the solution. Students were
excited about working with the robots. We are using
Drizzle (and DIODE) again during Spring 2005. We expect
to have smaller groups. We hope to evaluate the
effectiveness of Drizzle; some possible approaches are
additional questions in the course evaluation, surveys
at the beginning and end of CS1, and analyses of
CS1/CS2 retention rates. We may also compare the usage
of Drizzle with the standard MindStorms approach and
Alice [1].",

abstract = "This poster illustrates the way in which XML has been
introduced in the context of a web development course.
XML is an increasingly important technology with
applications across a range of fields. It is therefore
highly desirable that students gain meaningful exposure
to this technology within the computing curriculum. The
wide applicability of XML allows its concepts to be
taught in a way which supports learning of specific
topics in computer science. For example, the use of XML
has been reported in courses on compilers[1] and
computing theory[2].The main concepts of XML include:
basic syntax; well-formed documents; valid documents
with DTD and XML Schema; parsing and DOM;
transformations with XSLT. Since the concepts involved
in XML are essentially orthogonal to its applications,
it is important that a strong context is provided to
demonstrate these concepts. The programme within which
we teach XML has a strong web development theme, so it
seems appropriate to introduce it within this context.
The approach we have taken is to study the various
capabilities that XML provides to the web developer for
content syndication and management, and for using and
creating web services. The web development module
within which XML is taught deals primarily with
server-side scripting for dynamic web pages using
ColdFusion. The structure of the XML content is as
follows: Introduction to XML, comparison with HTML
Creating well-formed and valid documents XSL
transformations to produce web pages, with applications
to RSS and ATOM Content syndication and newsfeeds
Creating XML content from databases Content management
systems Consuming and creating Web Services, SOAP and
WSDL Experience in teaching this material suggests that
the emphasis on practical and relevant applications
within the web development context helps students to
connect with the technology. Unless this connection is
made, they often find that the concepts they are
learning are rather abstract and that it is difficult
to ``see the point'' of XML.The poster presentation
will illustrate the tools and activities used in the
course, together with examples of student work and
evaluation of the approach taken. Further materials are
available at http://hamilton.bell.ac.uk/teachingxml.",

abstract = "A learning object is a structured, standalone media
resource that encapsulates high quality information to
facilitate learning and pedagogy. In this paper, we
describe our approach to design, develop, and validate
learning objects for CS1. In particular, we focus on
one learning object that teaches students about classes
and objects. SCORM (Shareable Content Object Reference
Model) standards and ACM/IEEE-CS Computing Curriculum
2001 form the basis of our design. Each learning object
is self-contained and by design, the length of the
content section is kept short to retain student
interest. The learning object has a glossary providing
definitions to key terms and a help menu. Each learning
object covers a core Computer Science topic addressed
by four components: (1) A brief tutorial or explanation
including definitions, rules, and principles, (2) A set
of real-world examples illustrates key concepts and
includes worked examples and problems, models, and
sample code, (3) A set of practice exercises provides
important active experiences to the student, with
constructive feedback to student responses, (4) A set
of problems graded by the computer provides a final
assessment. Our instructional design also incorporates
theories of multimedia learning, providing guidance on
the effective combination of text, graphics audio, and
Flash animation. We also report on a pilot evaluation
where students rated the learning object highly in
terms of its design, usefulness, and appropriateness.
We present student achievement results, comparing
achievement of students participating in traditional
face-to-face laboratory activities versus students
using the Web-based learning object. A between-group
post-test only research design showed no significant
achievement difference between the two groups. Results
confirm our belief that the use of modular, Web-based
learning objects can be used successfully for
independent learning and are a viable option for
distance delivery of course components. Encouraged by
these results, our project and research is continuing
Fall 2004, with the development of additional learning
objects and instrumentation mechanisms tracking
real-time dynamic activity-based data. The ``Practice
Exercises'' section of our ``Simple Class'' learning
object, for example, has four exercise modules: (1)
class identification, where students are asked to
identify whether an item is an appropriate candidate as
a class (Abraham Lincoln vs. President, for example),
(2) data members and methods, where students interact
with an animation (with sound) to identify the
appropriate data members for a dog class, (3) dissect a
class definition, where students are given code with
highlighted segments and are asked to label each
segment into either ``class'', ``method name'', ``data
member'', or ``method body'', and (4) building a class,
where students are given a heterogeneous set of data
members and methods, and must pick the appropriate ones
to build a class; if the selection is correct, the
Java-based class will be expanded accordingly with
specific Java code. For each exercise, we provide
extensive real-time feedback for each response. Figure
1 shows a screen shot of one of the exercises on data
members and methods.",

came out of Bay Area CSE Day 2005. Bay Area CSE day was
one-day gathering of CSE people, started with a simple
invitation on the SIGCSE list. The event was not
elaborately prepared --- I just asked a few people to
give 15-minute presentations about topics of interest,
and then left a lot of time in between for discussion.
The regular SIGCSE conference has a lot of high quality
prepared material in the presentations, but there never
seems to be enough time discussion and interaction. As
a low-effort gathering, CSE Day gave us a few
interesting presentations and then lots of time to go
around the table and share ideas. At a basic level, I
find it refreshing and energizing just to be in a room
with other people who care about the same things that I
care about, so I encourage others who are thinking
about organizing one-day events.",

student's problem solving ability, gender, learning

Therefore, we emphasize that students develop and

concepts, students obtain hands-on experience with two
popular database systems. We encourage students to
learn independently making use of the documentation and

used categorization exercises (known as constrained

graduating computer science students' learning and
perceptions of programming concepts. Our results show
that female subjects had significantly less pre-college
programming experience than their male counterparts.
However, for both males and females, we found no
correlation between previous experience and success in
the major, as measured by computer science grade point
average at graduation. Data also indicated that, by the
time students completed their introductory courses,
females reported nearly equal levels of mastery as
males of the programming concepts. Furthermore, females
generally considered the programming concepts to be no
more difficult than did the men.",

the field. In this paper we present a different

The ``Women-CS Fit'' is already there! Specifically,
under certain cultural and environmental conditions we
can see that women fit very well into computing fields
and what we have been attributing to gender is actually
the result of cultural and environmental conditions.
The reasons for women participating in --- or not
participating in --- the field of computer science have
little to do with gender and a lot to do with culture.
In other words, we need to recognize that this is a
cultural issue, and an issue that concerns us all.
Appropriate local interventions in the micro-culture

intermediate representation, semantic analysis, error
handling and code generation. We have designed a 6-week

the module, students will incrementally build the Chirp
compiler, culminating with code generation for the

abstract = "Target tracking is one of the most important
applications of wireless sensor networks. Optimized
computation and energy dissipation are critical
requirements to maximize the lifetime of the sensor
network. There exists a demand for self-organizing and
routing capabilities in the sensor network. Existing
methods attempting to achieve these requirements, such
as the LEACH-based algorithms, however, suffer either
redundancy in data and sensor node deployment, or
complex computation incurred in the sensor nodes. Those
drawbacks result in energy use inefficiency and/or
complex computation overhead. OCO, or Optimized
Communication and Organization, is an algorithm that
ensures maximum accuracy of target tracking, efficient
energy dissipation, and low computation overhead on the
sensor nodes. Simulation evaluations of OCO are
compared with other two methods under various
scenarios.",

interdependence among team members, accountability of
individual students to the team in the form of
preparation and completion of project tasks, frequent
meetings to promote team goals, the development of
social skills required for collaboration, and the value
of group discussion of strategies in problem solving.

abstract = "New accreditation requirements focus on education as a
``continuous improvement process.'' The most important
part of such a process is that information gets fed
back into the system to improve the quality of the
output. This requirement is often interpreted to imply
a course-level feedback loop that iterates on offerings
of courses or entire academic years. This paper
provides a smaller and more immediate feedback loop.
This technique gives instructors feedback on the
quality of each question on a test or quiz, as well as
a numeric score for the difficult of the question. A
simple tool implementing this procedure can be used to
help train instructors on which questions are
difficult, as well as what types of questions are
correlated with ability, and how to design a meaningful
instrument of assessment. Performing this analysis at
the end of a course offering could help demonstrate
continuous improvement to accreditation committees.

computer programming that involves introducing and
exploring new concepts through automated unit tests.
TDL offers the potential of teaching testing for free,
of improving programmer comprehension and ability, and
of improving software quality both in terms of design
quality and reduced defect density. This paper
introduces test-driven learning as a pedagogical tool.
It will provide examples of how TDL can be incorporated
at multiple levels in computer science and software
engineering curriculum for beginning through
professional programmers. In addition, the
relationships between TDL and test-driven development
will be explored. Initial evidence indicates that TDL
can improve student comprehension of new concepts while
improving their testing skills with no additional
instruction time. In addition, by learning to construct
programs in a test-driven manner, students are expected
to be more likely to develop their own code with a
test-driven approach, likely resulting in improved
software designs and quality.",

consecutive terms we have experimented with an existing
software system for Tablet PCs that supports a set of
classroom interaction styles. Our goal has been to
determine if the use of the technology can increase the
effectiveness of pedagogical techniques that naturally
fit our instructional needs. We have found that student
submissions --- a style of interaction whereby the
instructor poses a question written on a slide and
displayed on a tablet in front of each student, then
students write their answers in digital ink and submit
back to the instructor --- are a powerful tool for
supporting the learning environment we aim to create in
the classroom. We show that student submissions can
help the instructor to engage all students, not merely
the vocal ones, and to emphasize the value of diversity
of opinions. They also enable immediate feedback from
students to instructor --- something difficult in an
environment without technological enhancements but
which contributes to an improved understanding of
everyone's needs and expectations. The discussion of
how we used student submissions to support these
pedagogical techniques may be relevant to educators
interested in fostering student learning through
creative uses of technology, as well as to instructors
looking to expand their repertoires of teaching methods
in software engineering and in other similar

to program is an arduous task. Not only does the
student have to learn the syntax of a programming
language, he or she also has to apply concepts of
object-oriented design and software construction in
service of the projects created within the classroom.
Unfortunately, as students further their study of
programming, they often feel disconnected from the
examples and projects they construct as part of their
coursework. Projects are often perceived as toy
problems and do not match the graphics-rich,
interactive notion of programming that students bring
with them to class. In addition, projects and classroom
exercises do not convey the appropriate level of
complexity and fail in the task of challenging the
student to critically think about what they are
constructing. This paper discusses TankBrains, a
cooperative and competitive programming project
presented to students in the latter part of their
introductory programming course sequence. Students are
challenged to create simple tank artificial
intelligences as teams, which are later tested against
each other in head-to-head combat. Students create
their TankBrains within a collaborative virtual
environment, which enforces the physics and rules of
the combat simulation. Students must also present their
strategies and findings to each other. This paper also
examines how the use of the TankBrain system influences
the students' perception regarding achievements and

computational models --- a theoretical unit. This unit
requires abstract thinking in many aspects. Our
findings in relation to reductive thinking showed that
many students preferred direct, non-reductive
solutions, even if reductive solutions could have
significantly decreased the design complexity of the
solution. This study motivated the current study where
we examine the issue of reductive thinking among
university students. The findings of this preliminary
study are demonstrated by students' solutions to
questions in assignments given in the computational
models course. We found that even among university
students in a very prestigious academic institution
with very high entrance requirements abstraction is a
real obstacle as reduction is not easily understood and
used. This encourages us to further investigate this

using roles in lectures but not in animation; and using
a role-based program animator in addition to using
roles in lectures. The results suggest that the

society the stakes are higher, requiring a computing
curriculum to introduce students early to the issues of
large systems. We address these challenges through an
``outside-in'' approach, or ``inverted curriculum'',
which emphasizes the reuse of existing components in an
example domain involving graphics and multimedia, a
gentle introduction to formal reasoning thanks to
Design by Contract techniques, and an object-oriented
method throughout. The new course has now been taught

abstract = "The paper describes the first version of the TextMOLE
(Text Mining Operations Library and Environment) system
for textual data mining. Currently TextMOLE acts as an
advanced indexing and search engine: it parses a data
set, extracts relevant terms, and allows the user to
run queries against the data. The system design is
open-ended, robust, and flexible. The tool is designed
to quickly analyze a corpus of documents and determine
which parameters will provide maximal retrieval
performance. Thus an instructor can use the tool to
demonstrate information retrieval concepts in the
classroom, or use the tool to encourage hands-on
exploration of concepts often covered in an
introductory course in information retrieval or
artificial intelligence. Reseachers will find the tool
useful when a `quick and dirty' analysis of an
unfamiliar collection is required.",

procedures on plagiarism. At SIGCSE 2006, a
Birds-of-a-feather (Bof) session had taken place on
plagiarism and self-plagiarism. Prior to the Bof, it
was amazing to listen to the professorial ramblings
about plagiarism such as ``I had a student who
plagiarized from the course textbook'', ``I had a
student who plagiarized from a paper I wrote.'' Many
academics treat a discussion of plagiarism as the
academic equivalent of ``What do you think about the
weather?'' They are both effective discussion starters
about something that has an impact, but something they
can't really do anything about. I was struck by how
fast we academics opted for simplistic and erroneous
reasoning about this subject. There were numerous
points of agreement. Some include the following: (1)
plagiarism is wrong; (2) it is on the increase (evils
of the internet and paper mills); (3) it is (sometimes)
hard to detect; (4) it is a problem getting ``others''
to do anything about it; (5) I would rather not have to
address instances of plagiarism. We also have avoidance
techniques as no longer requiring term papers or having
all work done in class.",

Virtual campus project started in 1999 and has had a

Approximately CHF 50-million or EUR 35-million in funds
have been distributed to various university consortia
in order to develop elearning courses. They used a
fifty-fifty financing model between federal government
and educational institutions; ten universities, two
Swiss federal institutes of technology, and seven
universities of applied sciences took part. Many
outstanding examples of elearning were produced,
although I have seen few in the informatics area. SVC
courses are not usually whole programmes, but teaching
units available on the Internet. They replace
conventional university lectures, many of which are
held in severely overcrowded auditoriums. At this
stage, it should be emphasised that SVC is not aiming
to transfer entire courses of study to the Internet. On
the contrary, compulsory online courses are intended to
supplement existing lectures and training programmes.",

challenging task: the complexity of the material that
is part of a curriculum is increasing at an astonishing
pace, following the complexity of the software
artifacts that our students are trained to master. The
free software revolution has entered the scene, and
offers new challenges, and new solutions; on one side,
the sheer amount of code available as free software
today calls for the education of a new kind of computer
scientist, and software engineer: they must be prepared
to manage the complexity of software systems built out
of components coming from all around the planet,
evolving at fast, yet unrelated pace, and whose source
code is freely available for inspection or
customization. On the other side, this very same
availability of the source code gives our student the
possibility to reach a level of technical insight that
was previously unthinkable. In this talk, we will try
to give a few examples of new research challenges
emerging from the free software revolution, as well as
evidence that teaching computer science can no longer
be done without free software. Nevertheless, it would
be a huge error to believe that we are only called to
educate computer scientists and software engineers, and
hence could stick to a purely technical view of our
duties: due to the unprecedented penetration of ICT in
every aspects of everyday life, we are also, as
computer science teachers, the first responsible of
educating the citizens of tomorrow. This duty will not
be fulfilled by simply passing over technical details:
as the recent example of the electronic voting machines
clearly show, we face the challenge of educating
e-citizens which are not simply computer literate, but
have a mental model of computer machinery allowing them
a clear understanding of the limitations of this
technology which is beautiful, but in no way magic.",

abstract = "This address will describe an ICT research project
that is context specific and achieved economic and
social turnarounds where other ICT projects have
failed. The message for computer science educators and
professionals is that desired impact has less to do
with science and technology and more to do with
understanding context and culture. Evaluating
implementation options to advance educational and
social needs is applying intelligence to technology.
Technology without context is a chasm. Literature on
contextual relevance such as Habermas, Friere, Husserl,
Gadamer, Borgman, abounds. However the absence of
minorities in our computer classes, the overarching
business use of technology to automate historic
processes and the obsession with development of new
technologies in the abstract without considering their
applications indicate that our profession is slow to
grasp this. The ancient Incan culture, through the
Quechuan people of Antabamba Peru, a remote indigenous
society high in the Andean Mountains has over 700 years
of proven social, environmental and economically
sustainable practice. Until only 10 years ago Antabamba
was a time capsule which was isolated from the world by
several days walk from the nearest road. When the road
was built in 1995 the multinational products,
television, marketing and western philosophies of
business practice soon followed. Within 10 years the
population of Antabamba was worse off than in anytime
in the previous 700 years and risked losing what the
developed world is in search of, sustainable practice.
Starting in 2003 the Unitec project spent a year
learning what had underpinned this ancient culture.
Yesterdays wireless technologies, internet, web design,
No. 8 wire, aluminum foil satellite dishes and some
basic tools were grounded in the traditional Incan
methodologies of sharing, learning and understanding.
Unparalleled results were achieved. Together with the
local communities, the Unitec project developed a
methodology called ``Community Centric Empowerment''
(CCE) which has been attributed by OSIPTEL, the
Telecommunications Authority in Peru and the Latin
American telecommunication council representative as
the deciding factor that has separated this project
from other ``telecenter'' projects in Latin America.
Additional studies focusing on the ability of ICT to
reduce poverty and exploitation in third world
countries by FITEL, the Rural development wing of
OSIPTEL in Peru, support the notion of the importance
of how, rather than what, when it comes to ICT use for
poverty reduction (Bossio 2005) (Newman 2006). These
studies showed the usage patterns and impact of the
Unitec project to be quite distinctive compared with
any other poverty alleviation project using ICT.In
keeping with the phenomenological methodology of the
initial study, this address will describe the story of
the Peruvian project to demonstrate to ICT educators
and professionals that how we implement ICT is as
important as what we implement, when social and
economic sustainability are our objectives. It lays
down a challenge to ICT educators and professionals to
reconsider the priorities in our teachings and
philosophies.",

testing system, to explore techniques to provide
improved feedback to both students and instructors as
students work on programming assignments, and to
collect data to perform detailed research on the
development processes of students. To address the issue
of feedback, Marmoset provides students with limited
access to the results of the instructor's private test
cases using a novel token-based incentive system. This
both encourages students to start their work early and
to think critically about their work. Because students
submit early, instructors can monitor all students'
progress on test cases, helping identify challenging or
ambiguous test cases early in order to update the
project specification or devote additional time in
lecture or lab sessions to the difficult test cases. To
study and better understand the development process of
students, Marmoset can be configured to transparently
capture snapshots to a central repository everytime
students save their files. These detailed development
histories offer a unique, detailed perspective of each
student's progress on a programming assignment, from
the first line of code written and saved all the way
through the final edit before the final submission.
This type of data has proven extremely valuable many
uses, such as mining new bug patterns and evaluating
existing bug-finding tools. In this paper, we describe
our initial experiences using Marmoset in several
introductory computer science courses, from the
perspectives of both instructors and students. We also

participated in a pair programming study had very
positive attitudes toward pair programming: they liked
it, thought that it was fun, would like to do it again,
and believed that they learned more because they
paired. Although the students as a whole had positive
attitudes, the results were not consistent between
instructors; in particular, the students in one of the
courses were significantly less positive about pair
programming. The implications of instructor-based
differences in attitude are discussed. This paper also
examines the relationship between student confidence
and attitudes toward pair programming. The most
confident students liked pairing the most, while the
least confident students liked it the least. This
finding contradicts results that have been reported
elsewhere.",

that students graduate with adequate technical skills

created service-learning group projects, which leverage
local organizations. These types of projects can be
very rewarding for students and offer excellent
educational opportunities for the students within the
group. Educators who have taught service-learning group
projects know there are significant problems with using
this type of project. These problems include:
motivation of students to do their best work, fair
individual and overall group assessment, appropriate
workload for a semester, and minimizing disruptive
outside influences. In addition, the creation of new
projects on a continuous semester basis would be very
useful for the instructor of a project course. To solve
these issues and problems, the following capstone
course design was used with success at Grand Valley
State University (GVSU). A socially-relevant,
community-based assignment with local non-profit
organizations provided the basis for the capstone
information systems project course described in this

effective scripting language --- Python, (2) by making
all course resources available in a comprehensive
online study pack, and (3) by offering an extensive set
of detailed and easy to follow self-guided labs. Our
custom-designed online study pack comprises a wealth of
new, original learning modules: extensive e-texts,
detailed self-guided labs, numerous sample programs,
quizzes, and slides. Our recent student survey
demonstrates that students like and prefer Python as a
first language and that they also perceive the online
study pack as very beneficial. Our ``Python First''
course, originally required for computer science
majors, has been so well received that it has been
recently approved as a general education science

four levels of abstraction in Computer Science
students' thinking about the concept of algorithm. We
constructed a list of questions about algorithms to
measure the answering level as an indication for the
thinking level. The answering level generally increased
between successive year groups of Bachelor students as
well as within year groups during the year, mainly from
the second to the third level. The reliability of the
instrument appeared to be good, but the validity
remained unclear. In this current study, more
qualitative methods are used to investigate the
validity; the results indicate that the validity is
good too. The study uses a theoretical perspective from
Mathematics Education research and points at the
fruitfulness of combining quantitative methods with
qualitative methods.",

considers three dimensions related to studying --- deep
(related to meaning), surface (reproducing) and
strategic (achieving).Two cohorts of CS1 students
completed an online ASSIST questionnaire midway through
their first semester. Their three ASSIST scores were
analysed together with their CS1 performance. The
strongest relationships were a significant, negative
correlation between a surface approach to learning and
CS1 performance and a significant positive correlation
between a strategic approach to learning and CS1
performance. Participants were classified via a cluster
analysis according to the extent to which they showed
deep, strategic, and surface learning profiles. Members
of the cluster favouring a surface approach had the
poorest performances, whereas members of the cluster
favouring strategic or deep approaches rather than a
surface approach had the best performances.",

Departments of San Francisco State University (SFSU),
USA in conjunction with the University of Applied
Sciences, Fulda University, Germany. We also provide
analysis and evaluation of class effectiveness based on
several assessment methods including extensive student
questionnaires, with our recommendations for teaching
such SE classes. Our approach was to combine and
synchronize class teaching about SW engineering methods
and processes with actual SW development work in a
setting designed to simulate a small SW company.
Students were divided in ``local'' groups of 4-6
members, each group forming small SW ``companies'' in
charge of developing a complete working WWW application
as a final class project. Several smaller groups of
students at SFSU were paired with groups of students at
Fulda University, whom they never met face to face, to
form ``global'' groups, thus simulating global SW
engineering in a realistic setting. Students developed
their final project incorporating five well-defined
milestones typical for full SW development lifecycle.
Instructors spent considerable time supervising and
interacting with student ``companies'' in the role of
company customers, CTO and VPs of engineering,
marketing and sales. All student groups (including
global ones) were able to produce impressive final
project applications and provided very positive
feedback for this class.",

abstract = "At Helsinki University of Technology, in
Telecommunications Software and Multimedia Laboratory
we give a course titled ``Computer Networks''. One of
the learning objectives of the course is network
programming and routing. Our philosophy of teaching is
``learning by doing'', which means in practice that one
of the requirements for passing the course is a
programming assignment. The programming assignment
introduces the student to socket programming and gives
the student the possibility to practice implementing
simplified routing protocols. The solutions to the
programming assignments have previously been
demonstrated to assistants and the reports were
submitted as paper printouts and all students have done
the same assignment. The students have complained that
the submission method is out-of-date and inappropriate
for a course about computer networks since the course
curriculum includes many examples of applications that
could be used to submit the assignments over the
Internet. To answer the above requirements and to
reduce the work load of the course personnel without
hindering the students learning process, we are
implementing an online learning environment for the
Computer Networks course. This system creates and sends
individual assignments for students, accepts solution
submissions via the Internet, and, finally, checks them
automatically. The system also notifies the students of
possible mistakes in their solutions. This way, the
students can learn from their mistakes and fix them and
resubmit the corrected solutions. The goal of the
implementation is that the teacher only needs to start
the system when the course begins and verify the
assignment results when students have finished their
work. We can achieve multiple learning objectives
simultaneously with this online learning system. The
students learn how to implement simple user
authentication, how to implement real working network
programs for the Internet with different application
programming interfaces (APIs), and learn how to apply
the routing theory into practice. The submission using
the Internet frees students from the boundaries of time
and place since course assignments can be solved when
and where students want to do them. Automatic
correction gives fast feedback and allows students to
learn from their own mistakes because they can still
remember what they have done. The course provides a
server and students implement corresponding client
software to contact the server. In this phase of the
assignment, students rehearse their knowledge of
concurrent network programming. The server emulates a
network that has several routers. A student's client
represents one router whose routing table is calculated
on the basis of the information sent by the server. The
server can send routing data that is based on
simplified versions of routing protocols such as
distance vector or link state protocols. In other
words, the second phase of the assignment is for
learning routing in an internetwork. We believe that
our system will have strong positive impact on learning
results. Routing is one of the most difficult concepts
related to computer networks. Theoretical studying
alone does not help to understand the real practical
problems. In addition, our system allows combining
theory and practicalities since theory presented in the
course lectures can be immediately applied in students'
own work in a very concrete way.",

abstract = "An introductory Artificial Intelligence (AI) course
provides students with basic knowledge of the theory
and practice of AI as a discipline concerned with the
methodology and technology for solving problems that
are difficult to solve by other means. It is generally
recognized that an introductory Artificial Intelligence
course is challenging to teach. This is, in part, due
to the diverse and seemingly disconnected core AI
topics that are typically covered. Recently, work has
been done to address the diversity of topics covered in
the course and to create a theme-based approach.
Russell and Norvig present an agent-centered approach
[9]. Others have been working to integrate Robotics
into the AI course [1, 2, 3].We present work on a
project funded by the National Science Foundation with
a goal of unifying the artificial intelligence course
around the theme of machine learning. This involves the
development and testing of an adaptable framework for
the presentation of core AI topics that emphasizes the
relationship between AI and computer science. Machine
learning is inherently connected with the AI core
topics and provides methodology and technology to
enhance real-world applications within many of these
topics. Machine learning also provides a bridge between
AI technology and modern software engineering. In his
article, Mitchell discusses the increasingly important
role that machine learning plays in the software world
and identifies three important areas: data mining,
difficult-to-program applications, and customized
software applications [6].We have developed a suite of
adaptable, hands-on laboratory projects that can be
closely integrated into the introductory AI course.
Each project involves the design and implementation of
a learning system which will enhance a particular
commonly-deployed application. The goal is to enhance
the student learning experience in the introductory
artificial intelligence course by (1) introducing
machine learning elements into the AI course, (2)
implementing a set of unifying machine learning
laboratory projects to tie together the core AI topics,
and (3) developing, applying, and testing an adaptable
framework for the presentation of core AI topics which
emphasizes the important relationship between AI and
computer science in general, and software development
in particular. Details on this project as well as
samples of course materials developed are published in
[4, 5, 7, 8] and are available at the project website
at http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/compsci/ccli. We present
an overview of our work along with a detailed
presentation of one of these projects and how it meets
our goals. The project involves the development of a
learning system for web document classification.
Students investigate the process of classifying
hypertext documents, called tagging, and apply machine
learning techniques and data mining tools for automatic
tagging. Our experiences using the projects are also
presented.",

represent a growing repository of course materials
meant to aid those wishing to teach research skills to
computing students. Our model is designed to ground
discussion of teaching CRM and to serve as a roadmap
for institutions, faculty, students and research
communities addressing the transition from student to
fully enfranchised member of a computing research
community of practice. To that end, we offer several
possible scenarios for using our model. In computing,
research methods have traditionally been passed from

formation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA)
by 2010. Its aim is to facilitate the mobility of
people, the transparency and recognition of
qualifications, quality and development of a European
dimension to higher education, and the attractiveness
of European institutions for third country students.
This paper provides an overview of progress towards
implementation in EHEA member states using official
documents and interview data from faculty teaching
computing in countries represented at the ITiCSE 2006
meeting. The key areas where the structures established
by the Bologna process are problematic for computing
education arise from the rapidly changing nature of the
curriculum. It seems that the maturity and capability
criteria, as well as the manner in which learning
outcomes are specified, being developed within the
Bologna process are too general. This endangers the
properties of transparency and mobility that the
process intends to promote. Progression and
prerequisite knowledge in computing degrees can be very
specific. For instance, generic learning outcomes for
an introductory programming course quite rightly will
not specify the programming language, or languages,
used to implement algorithms. However, suppose a
student intends to study an advanced algorithms and
data structures course in which Java is the language of
implementation which has an introductory course in
programming as a prerequisite. If the introductory
course language was Standard ML it is not clear that
the prerequisite course actually provides the student
with a suitable background. These types of complexities
are typical of computing, where early subject curricula
are not standardised nationally or internationally, and
create significant hurdles for realising the Bologna
objectives.",

analyse that discussion, exploring how the CS community
debates the issue and whether contributors' positions
are supported by the research literature on novice
programmers. We applied four distinct research methods
to the discussion: cognitive science, rhetorical
analysis in the critical tradition, phenomenography and
biography. We identify the cognitive claims made in the
email discussion and find there is not a consensus in
the research literature as to whether the objects first
approach or the imperative approach is harder to learn.
From the rhetorical analysis, we find that the
discussion was not so much a debate between OO-first
versus imperative-first, but instead was more for and
against OO-first. Our phenomenographic analysis
identified and categorized the underlying complexity of
the discussion. We also applied a biographical method
to explore the extent to which the participants' views
are shaped by their own prior experience. The paper
concludes with some reflections upon paradigms, and the
manner in which the CS discipline community defines
itself.",

software that generates them may be integrated into

integration generates a unique synergy that we call a
Visualization-based Computer Science Hypertextbook

hypertextbooks and course management systems, VizCoSHs
become delivery platforms that address some of the
reasons why visualizations have failed to find
widespread use in education. The heart of the paper
describes these features and explains, from both a
student and teacher perspective, how each feature adds
educational value to a visualization. In some cases,
this value focuses on pedagogical issues, taking
advantage of known strategies for making visualizations
more engaging and effective. In other cases, the
emphasis is on making it easier for teachers to use
visualizations. A set of possible use scenarios and
approaches for increasing interest in adopting a
VizCoSH are also presented.",

bought years ago, compiled by S.M. Scott. It includes
fictional stories and quotations about teaching,
reminiscences by former pupils about their teachers,
etc. The title of the book is what caught my eye, since
this is how I like to view the role teachers ought to
play in people's lives. I truly believe that teachers
constitute the cornerstone of any successful
implementation of a program of study, on any level.
Moreover, I think that beyond the mastery of the actual
professional material they plan to teach, good teachers
should also have deep and broad knowledge of the entire
subject of which that material is part, and they must
have the ability to convey the material to others
correctly and reliably, to provide perspective, and to
infuse the students with interest, curiosity, and
enthusiasm. All this requires an educator to be more of
an intellectual, at least in what concerns the relevant
field at large. In the talk I'll try to elaborate on
the teachers' role, and to discuss the principles that
should underlie a good study program, while emphasizing
high school computer science curricula. Thus, I will
touch upon what I think should be the core issues for
computer science education research. I will also share
some anecdotes from my own life, which at the time
motivated me to get involved in teaching and educating,
in designing computer science study programs and in
their implementation, and paved the way to my doing
research on teaching the fundamentals of computer
science.",

In this paper, we report on our work towards creating a

a particular course. Among other information, it
includes knowledge units from the Computing Curricula

repository is to provide added value to the Computer
Science Education community, and we present some such
offerings. We conclude by presenting our future plans
for the syllabus repository. These include using
automated techniques to collect and classify syllabi,
providing recommendations to instructors when creating
a syllabus, and allowing the community to share their
syllabi automatically. The syllabus collection will be
part of the Computing and Information Technology

environment is designed to meet the learning
preferences of computer engineering learners. The
environment integrates several different materials to
support the learners' preferred style. It includes a
movie-like welcome component, an animated hyper-text
introduction for the basic concepts of information
theory, a communication model simulator, and an
interactive set of exercises for self assessment. All
the components of the environment are integrated into a
single interface based on Java2D of Sun Microsysts.
Being a Java applet, our environment is portable and
web-based enabled, which makes it possible for learners
to study at their convenience. An initial study shows
that our integrated environment is a useful tool for

available as online videos, but limited classroom
interaction is an important component; the classroom is
used for review of lecture material, examinations,
demonstrations, tutorials, and hands-on sessions. The
hybrid framework is particularly suitable for students
with logistical difficulties, e.g., because of work

lags thus making the OO versus procedural argument
moot. We believe that game programming motivates most
new programmers. Compelling assignments mean that
students are far more likely to learn because they are
interested, and the visual component allows students to
see mistakes in their code as manifested in the
resultant graphics. We describe our experiences after
redesigning and offering a new introductory computer
science sequence using $2$D game development as a
unifying theme. We teach fundamental programming
concepts via two dimensional game development in Flash
and ActionScript during the first quarter, transition
to C++ to solidify concepts and add pointers during the
second quarter, then teach a multi-phase project based
game approach using C++ and openGL ($2$D graphics only)

abstract = "Active learning techniques, including collaborative
programming and problem solving environments, have been
widely adopted by many computer science educators. A
related approach is the Treisman model, which was
originally designed for the first-year calculus course
and involves intensive workshops where students
collaborate in small groups to solve problems. We have
adapted the model for both the data structures and
algorithms courses at our institution. Regression
analysis indicates that students who participate in the
workshops for the algorithms course perform better
(0.561 grade points on a 4-point scale) than those who
do not, even after accounting for prior academic
performance. However, the workshops appear to have less
of an effect on student grades in the data structures
course. This study provides evidence that the workshop
model can be an effective learning environment for
students in courses primarily involving analysis, but
that for courses that involve large amounts of
programming, further adaptations to the model might be
needed.",

recently developed by MIT's Media Lab that ``lets you
create your own animations, games, and interactive
art.'' Although Scratch is intended to ``enhance the
development of technological fluency [among youths] at
after-school centers in economically disadvantaged
communities,'' we find remarkable potential in this
programming environment for higher education as well.
We propose Scratch as a first language for first-time
programmers in introductory courses, for majors and
non-majors alike. Scratch allows students to program
with a mouse: programmatic constructs are represented
as puzzle pieces that only fit together if
``syntactically'' appropriate. We argue that this
environment allows students not only to master
programmatic constructs before syntax but also to focus
on problems of logic before syntax. We view Scratch as
a gateway to languages like Java. To validate our
proposal, we recently deployed Scratch for the first
time in higher education via harvard Summer School's
Computer Science S-1: Great Ideas in Computer Science,
the summertime version of a course at harvard College.
Our goal was not to improve scores but instead to
improve first-time programmers' experiences. We
ultimately transitioned to Java, but we first
introduced programming itself via Scratch. We present
in this paper the results of our trial. We find that,
not only did Scratch excite students at a critical time
(i.e.,, their first foray into computer science), it
also familiarized the inexperienced among th with
fundamentals of programming without the distraction of
syntax. Moreover, when asked via surveys at term's end
to reflect on how their initial experience with Scratch
affected their subsequent experience with Java, most
students (76\%) felt that Scratch was a positive
influence, particularly those without prior background.
Those students (16\%) who felt that Scratch was not an
influence, positive or negative, all had prior
programming experience.",

learning, in particular for developing reflective
processes like critical thinking. The classroom is ripe
for peer review because the subject matter is fresh and
in-depth interactivity is possible. Yet the limited
time available in class conflicts with peer review's
deliberative nature. We hypothesize that peer review
--- at least the initial stages of it --- can be
supported in the classroom with tools for facilitating
the rapid identification of interesting issues for
discussion. The potential benefits of such a tool
include: furthering the student-focus of in-class
active learning activities, further implanting critical
analysis skills through frequent in-class use,
supporting immediate feedback, and enabling comparison
of student and instructor-modeled critical analysis.
This paper explores tool support for in-class
lightweight preliminary peer-review (LPPR): peer review
that is instigated in the classroom, but does not
necessarily end there. We proposed that students
classify peer solutions in 4 dimensions: correctness,
comprehension (e.g., ``do I understand this
solution''), worthiness for discussion, and similarity
to the evaluator's own solution. We designed an LPPR
extension to Ubiquitous Presenter, and then conducted
an exploratory study in a mock classroom setting. We
found that LPPR can quickly identify a subset of
student solutions that warrant immediate discussion,
and that modest amounts of reflection arise from the
LPPR process.",

computer science concepts before they receive any
formal instruction in the field. For this study, we
asked students on the first day of a CS1 class to
describe in English how they would arrange a set of
numbers in ascending, sorted order; we then repeated
the experiment asking students to sort a list of dates
(in mm/dd/yyyy format).We found that a majority of
students described a coherent algorithm; some described
versions of insertion or selection sort, but many gave
unexpected algorithms. We also found significant
differences between responses given for sorting numbers
versus dates. Based on our analysis of the data we
suggest that beginning-programming instructors more
explicitly discuss data types, begin loop instruction
with post-test loops, assist students in recognizing
implicit conditional and iteration use in natural
language solutions to probls, and recognize that
novices and experts focus on different aspects of the
problem in even basic problem solving tasks.",

podcasts, feeds of audio, video, and other content that

podcast Harvard Extension School's Computer Science E-1
in both audio and video formats, the first course
within Harvard University to do so. Our goals were to
provide students with more portable access to
educational content and to involve them in technology
itself. To evaluate this experiment, we have analyzed
logs and surveys of students. We find that our students
valued E-1's podcast more as a vehicle for review
(45\%) than as an alternative to attendance (18\%). We
also find that most students (71\%) tended to listen to
or watch lectures on their computers, with far fewer
relying upon audio-only (19\%) or video (10\%) iPods.
We argue, meanwhile, that podcasting, despite its
widespread popularity, is but a marginal improvement on
trends long in progress. It is this technology's reach
that we claim is significant, not the technology
itself. Logs suggest that E-1's own podcast, available
not only to students but to the public at large, has
acquired (as of September 2006) between 6,000 and
10,000 subscribers from over 50 countries. We argue,
then, that podcasting offers to extend universities'
educational reach more than it offers to improve
education itself.",

These findings suggest that female students, although

Science departments across the country. Keeping strong
students and helping struggling students perform better
are two fundamental components of improving retention.
Isolating the cause(s) of students leaving the major is
an important area of research. We endeavor to explore
this problem using a visualization tool to probe
student data within the beginning course sequence in
Computer Science. We would like to see what patterns
exist amongst students, focusing on success, failure,
and repetition patterns throughout the first three
courses. Identifying these patterns can help isolate
some of the causes of decreased retention within the
department, allowing us to address individual projects,
courses, or exams that may be causing students
exceptional difficulty or loss of interest. Due to the
large amount of data and the variety of students' paths
through their courses, it is essential that a
visualization be developed to represent the data. Using
graph layouts, parallel coordinates, color-mapping, and
interactive selection, users can explore and query the
data. Users can discover patterns within the data by
selecting subgroups of students and examining the event
sequences to find patterns of success, failure, and
repetition amongst those students. Departments can use
this information to isolate profiles of students for
retention, remediation, and recruitment efforts as well
as identify areas of the curriculum or instruction that
can be improved.",

elegant stack machine with built-in graphic

like textttklx, making them easy to implement and fun

an integral part of the student project. The use of non

student creativity in language design and

points to the immediate need to teach
``programming-in-the-large'', the skills to work with
and develop large and complex production-grade software

competitive in the face of IT globalization and
offshoring of software [4, 13]. However, current
computer science curricula are inadequate to prepare
college graduates to meet the reality of computing.
Most course projects fall into the
``programming-in-the-small'' mode, in which students
implement small, isolated projects to explore the
course subject matter and with little emphasis on how
the smaller pieces can be integrated to build
sophisticated larger scale systems. This paper presents
a modern IDE-based approach to address this inadequacy.
We develop RobotStudio --- an extensible framework for
building IDEs targeting a simple yet versatile
educational robot platform. Student projects are
implemented as plugin modules of RobotStudio and, when
put together, they form a comprehensive IDE for
programming the robotic environment. This paper
describes the architecture of the RobotStudio
framework, its extension mechanisms, and the teaching
practice of using RobotStudio in an introductory
compiler construction class to illustrate

novel in this system is the type of feedback: students
are not merely told that a submitted regular expression
is wrong, they are given examples of strings that the
expression either matches and shouldn't or does not
match and should, and asked to try again. Additionally,
student responses need only be equivalent to the
solution, not identical. Results of classroom
experience with this system are also reported, and
demonstrate its effectiveness in teaching students to
write regular expressions with little or no instructor
interaction. RegeXeX is a freely available, portable
system, written in C++ and using the Qt library for its
GUI. It is distributed with several exercise sets, but
is designed so instructors can easily write their own.

submitting log-files to instructors as well, allowing

viability of mental models used by novice programmers
at the end of a first year Java programming course. The
qualitative findings identify the range of mental
models of value and reference assignment held by the
participants. The quantitative analysis reveals that
approximately one third of students held non-viable
mental models of value assignment and only 17\% of
students held a viable mental model of reference
assignment. Further, in terms of a comparison between
the participants' mental models and their performance
in in-course assessments and final examination, it was
found that students with viable mental models performed
significantly better than those with non-viable models.
These findings are used to propose a more
``constructivist'' approach to teaching programming
based on the integration of ``cognitive conflict'' and
program visualisation.",

abstract = "Since the introduction of Java in 1995, educators have
recognized the potential of Java applets as an
educational resource. Sadly, the continuing evolution
of Java has made it harder to use applets, largely
because it is so difficult to keep those applets
compatible with the many different versions of the Java
runtime environment supported by existing browsers.
Over the past two years, the ACM Java Task Force (JTF)
has developed an effective strategy that makes it
possible to write applets using up-to-date versions of
Java that will nonetheless run on browsers that support
only the JDK 1.1 environment. This paper describes the
acm11.jar library, which uses this strategy to achieve
the desired backward compatibility. It also describes a
more general solution strategy for which we have a
prototype, although we are unable to release the
prototype until we get permission from Sun
Microsystems. The acm11.jar library can be used with
any Java applet and does not depend on adopting the JTF
library packages. That library therefore represents a
general resource for teachers and students who want to
write Java code that runs in web environments.",

to create a flexible, modular and easily extensible

students to use in our networking, security, and system
administration classes. By combining the remote access
technologies of Remote Desktop, the multi-user
capabilities of Microsoft Terminal Services, the
ability to share sessions of Remote Assistance, and the
ability to manipulate virtual machines and virtual
networks using VMware Workstation, the Remote
Laboratory Emulation System (RLES) allows students to
conduct labs very similar to our local labs from either
inside or outside our lab facility. While other people
have been experimenting with various combinations of
these technologies we have aggressively developed and
implemented this system and feel that it has become a
very important tool in our ability to cost-effectively
provide computing infrastructure for local and distant
students, and student and faculty research.",

fiscal matters and UPE's role in founding the ICPC, the

with SIGCSE and ICPC strong enough to stand on their
own without the former ``Computing Week'' umbrella,
these activities eventually diverged, leaving us with
very little connection to SIGCSE aside from an
occasional booth, and of course this column.

the educational setting. The novel view in this work is
that formal teaching and learning (of anything, at any

analogy to the usual interface design, is
student-centered. The brief, but illustrative,

emulator offering a set of pre-defined applications and
protocol mechanisms. Experimenters configure and
control the emulation and the end-systems behavior in
order to perform tests, measurements, and observations
on protocols or applications operating under controlled
specific networking conditions. A set of end-to-end
mechanisms, mainly focusing on transport and
application-level protocols, are currently available.

abstract = "Computer Science has been in crisis for several years.
Interest in studying it has dropped dramatically. We
can wring our hands, or we can do something about it.
Computer Science needs to engage with pure outreach:
selling the subject (for free). Our approach has been
to do this by just going out and having innovative fun.
This is more effective than selling specific courses or
institutions. CS is after all a naturally exciting,
innovative and thought-provoking subject (Oh, and by
the way there are good jobs at the end too). We see it
as a Renaissance subject (so who cares what it's called
or which variation the future depends on). It sits in a
unique position, centrally connected to all of the
sciences, arts and humanities. We are passionate about
science generally, so we go out and spread that
enthusiasm about it all. What have we been doing? There
is cs4fn (www.cs4fn.org) a website and magazine that
we've been writing for the sheer enjoyment of it;
Sodarace (www.sodarace.net) where over 130 000
registered humans and computers compete in an online
Olympics; Brain Academy (www.brainacademy.qmul.ac.uk),
the Compute-Ability competition with career enhancing
prizes; research talks for kids on Artificial
Intelligence, women in technology, disability and
mutant super-hero powers (actually its about search
algorithms) and so on; a Computer Science Magic show
(you have to promise not to tell anyone the secrets);
and exhibits at the Royal Society Summer Exhibition on
mathematical illusions and their link to computer
science (www.cs4fn.org/illusions). We build brains that
play Snap from rope and toilet roll, and introduce a
piece of paper more intelligent than anyone in the
room. Kids act out Turing Tests (can you tell the human
from the robot?), and we challenge them to solve
puzzles with CS twists. We do real research too of
course: a spin-out of our EPSRC funded research project
on Human Error and Interactive Systems includes an
online SpaceInvaders game-experiment
(www.cs4fn.org/humanerror) the data from which helps us
understand the causes of human error: can you
consistently avoid making the mistake that will blow up
your ship and lose all your points?. What age group
should we be targeting? Sixth formers? A major issue is
that school ICT, vital as it is, gives a poor
impression of how being a computer scientist is about
being an innovative, creative, computational thinker.
By the sixth form it is too late. It is the younger
kids we have to get the message to. An early experiment
has been teaching a version of a graduate level course
on usability evaluation to primary school kids
(www.cs4fn.org/manorside). They proved to be very
innovative and ``amazing'', ``will stay in my mind
forever'', ``I want to teach others in the school what

abstract = "On average, one in every five people has a disability.
There is a growing, worldwide attention to the rights
and needs of disabled users to access information
technologies (IT). This technology is not simply for
recreational use, but in many cases is a disabled
user's lifeline to services and a path to employment.
To address this issue, there has been enactment of
legislation in countries worldwide aimed at making
technology accessible. Such legislation has led to the
creation of standards, guidelines, and checklists for
accessibility, with the goal of having a common
understanding of what is needed to make IT accessible
and thereby enabling developers to create accessible
applications. Despite these efforts, however,
technology remains largely unusable for people with
disabilities. A number of factors may contribute to
this state. Here we consider one of the key
factors--that developers, in large part, do not
understand and are not attuned to the needs of disabled
users. The checklists are not intuitive and provide
developers with little insight into the very real
problems that disabled users have with computing.
Moreover, these checklists address issues of
``compliance'', but do not meet the needs of a large
number of users whose needs fall outside of traditional
accessibility concerns. Older adults are an excellent
example of users whose needs are often not considered
during development. A conference theater event will
highlight computer use by persons with disabilities.
Following up on that event, inclusive design in
computer science education will be considered. The
focus will be on populations that are often not
considered in the design process.",

concurrent programming assignments by looking at the
produced output is a crucial and error-prone task. On
the one hand a student's program may coincidentally
produce a correct output although the program is
faulty; the program could also produce invalid output
which does not happen to be observed even when the
program is run several times. On the other hand the
synchronization in a student's program may be too
strong, leading to a situation where certain correct
outputs can never be generated. This paper presents an
approach for checking automatically the output of
concurrent threads for correctness. The basic idea is
that we provide special implementations of
synchronization primitives like semaphores that use
vector timestamps. Every output action of a thread is
tagged by its vector timestamp. Therefore it can be
decided whether two output actions are causally related
(they can occur only in the order which was actually
observed because of an underlying synchronization), or
whether two output actions are not causally related,
i.e., concurrent (they may happen in any order). The
output of a student's program is represented as a
graph. The correctness check consists of a comparison
between the expected graph and the observed graph.",

notion of formal correctness proofs that allows
students, both sighted and visually impaired, to draw a

language. Sighted students use the mouse and graphical
controls to draw and manipulate the DFA. Keyboard
shortcuts, together with the use of a screen reader to
voice the accessible descriptions provided by the
program, allow visually impaired students to do the
same. Because the states of a DFA partition the
language over its alphabet into equivalence classes,
each state has a language associated with it.
Conditions that describe the language of each state are
entered by the student in the form of conditional
expressions with function calls and/or regular
expressions. A brute-force approach is then used to
check that each state's condition correctly describes
all of the strings in its language and that none of the
strings in a state's language meet the condition for
another state. Feedback is provided that either
confirms that the DFA correctly meets the given
conditions or alerts the student to a mismatch between
the conditions and the DFA. A student's DFA can be
saved in an XML file and submitted for grading. An
automated checking tool, known as ProofGrader, can be
used to compare a student's DFA with the correct DFA

automatic grading of program functionality. AutoGrader
provides a simple instructor API and enables the
automatic testing of student code through the Java
language features of interfaces and reflection.
AutoGrader also supports static code analysis using PMD
[4] to detect possible bugs, dead code, suboptimal, and
overcomplicated code. While AutoGrader is written in
and only handles Java programs, this style of automated
grading is adaptable to any language that supports (or
can mimic) named interfaces and/or abstract functions
and that also supports runtime reflection.",

(marking) of graph-based diagrams. The work is an
application of a framework for the computer
interpretation of imprecise diagrams (which students
produce in response to assessment questions). We
describe the interpretation framework and how it has
been applied in the domain of entity-relationship
diagrams used in data modeling. In our approach to
grading, student diagrams are compared to specimen
solutions representing correct solutions to an
assessment question. The comparison between a student
diagram and a specimen solution diagram results in a
matching of the two diagrams from which a grade is
computed. The comparison matching is used to provide
graphical feedback on the correctness of the student
diagram. The approach has been applied to a test corpus
of 394 diagrams produced in answer to an examination
question with some good results: 91\% of all
automatically produced grades were within 0.5 of a mark
of the human graders. However, when supertype-subtype
associations are present, the performance drops to
around 87\%. The paper concludes with a discussion of
some applications of the marker.",

the field of computer science education. Therefore,
many tools and algorithms have been developed for this
purpose. Generally, these tools are operated in two
phases. In phase 1, a program plagiarism detecting tool
generates an intermediate representation from a given
program set. The intermediate representation should
reflect the structural characterization of the program.
Most tools use the parse tree or token sequence by
intermediate representation. In phase 2, the program
looks for plagiarized material and evaluates the
similarity of two programs. It is helpful to announce
the plagiarized metarials between two programs to the
instructor. In this paper, we present the static
tracing method in order to improve program plagiarism
detection accuracy. The static tracing method
statically executes a program at the syntax-level and
then extracts predefined keywords according to the
order of the executed functions. The result of
experiment proves this method can detect plagiarism
more effectively than the previously released

From the perspective of time, many of the interactions

often define their view of the network; from the
perspective of access, interaction with network

macros, and data structures enabling a program to
initiate and manage network communication between two
or more processes on the same machine, or across a
network of machines. The API is the main mechanism by
which programs communicate with the operating system's
TCP/IP stack and thereby with almost all Internet
services and programs. Socket programming opens a new
realm of development for Computer Science students as
they are able to create programs that can communicate
via the Internet. However, while learning, students
frequently misuse the sockets API or have difficulty
understanding where run-time and logic errors in their
code occur. Students learning about sockets are
typically presented with a series of static diagrams in
textbooks that increase in complexity with each
progression. These diagrams may not allow the reader to
easily comprehend the transition between each step, nor
understand which functions in the API perform the
events. Space constraints in textbooks often limit a
sequence of diagrams to two or three, whereas over 10
calls to the sockets API are often necessary to
initiate and undertake communication. Surprisingly,
there are no effective tools or general techniques for
debugging students' socket programs. In this paper we
present a software solution to visualize the execution
of students' programmed interactions with the Berkeley
Sockets API. The tool accepts the source code of two or
more networking programs and compiles them in such a
way that, at run-time, their calls to the socket API
and related functions are displayed, together with an
annotation of activity and error conditions. The
program is not simply a static simulator --- it
provides a means to visualize the network events in

evaluation, connecting also students' attitudes to
their learning styles, and (b) the learning
effectiveness of the environment, investigating the use
of embedded question prompts as students' cognitive
scaffolds. Results so far reveal interesting
interactions between students' learning styles and
their attitudes towards learning in the eCASE-SPM
environment. Furthermore, there is strong indication
that using question prompts may have beneficial effect
on students' learning and problem solving abilities,
although fading out of the scaffolding should be
implemented to moderate students' workload.",

cognitive and affective strategies are used during

increase problem solving performance by females. This

students that perform well in other subjects may not

suggests that some programmers are inherently more
skilled than others, and one individual difference that
has been shown to be important is spatial ability. This
cognitive characteristic is implicated in successful
real-world navigation. It is also important for
navigating within hypertext, and there is a growing
recognition that it has a part to play in program
comprehension and development, with navigation of
source code considered similar to navigating in the
real world. Little research has been carried out to
study the navigational patterns of programmers with
differing spatial skills. In this study, 24 students
enrolled on a Masters in IT course at a University in
the UK were given a code comprehension exercise.
Various measures were made of time taken and movement
around the code. Those with high spatial ability
completed the task in shorter time, spent less time
searching around deciding where to go next, and jumped
more frequently within and between class files. Strong
relations were also found between spatial ability and
results in programming modules, with much weaker
relations with non-programming modules. This paper
discusses the implications of these results in relation
to the accessibility of programming to learners with

perform the required multimedia operations. The faculty
can also add pedantically useful annotations; a step
that is unlikely to be performed by the video
technicians. Many students own iPods, PSPs, laptops and
other devices that allow them to watch the video at
their convenience. We report on the tools used, the

structures, the interaction with these structures and
their animation in order to achieve an effortless and
natural creation of animations. The framework itself
supports the creation of animations in arbitrary
domains through a dynamic plug-in architecture, where
so-called domain modules encapsulate all
domain-specific semantics. Its application and

abstract = "Recursion is a concept which all computer scientists
should understand and be able to use but novices find
it difficult to master. In the School of Computer
Science at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits)
we have for a long time been concerned about how we can
assist our students with recursion [4, 1, 3]. One
thrust of our research is the study of the mental
models of recursion (c.f. Kahney [2]) which our first
year students develop. Most of our students encounter
recursion for the first time in our Fundamental
Algorithmic Concepts (FAC) course. When we originally
investigated the mental models of our students we noted
that although many of them seem to develop the viable
copies model there are still many that develop models
which are non-viable (i.e., that cannot be relied on to
lead to a correct result) [1]. Thus we adapted the way
in which recursion was introduced in FAC in 2003, 2004
and 2005 by introducing more complex recursive
algorithms earlier to help in the development of the
copies mental model. We then compared the mental models
developed by the 2003, 2004 and 2005 students to those
developed by the earlier group [3]. The results
indicate that more of the students were developing
viable mental models of recursion and thus that the
changes to our teaching were benefitting our students.
In 2006 we changed the programming language in which
our students implement algorithms to Python (from
Scheme). In essence the programming language was the
only change made as the course was still taught in a
``functional'' style to emphasize the link between the
formal specification of a problem, the solution to the
problem and the program. We did, however, feel it was
important to assess the impact of the change on our
students' mental models of recursion. We thus did a
similar study on the 2006 students to that on earlier
cohorts. The students' traces from two recursive
algorithms were categorised into the mental models
previously observed [1,3] by identifying how the
student deals with the active flow, base case and
passive flow in their trace and then by combining this
information into an overall categorisation of the trace
for that algorithm. Overall the results are in line
with our previous results which showed that the copies
model is the dominant model for a recurrence relation
type of recursive function but that for list
manipulation problems some students showed an active or
looping model. These results indicate that our teaching
approach, even with the switch to Python, is assisting
our students in developing a viable copies mental model
of recursion. Such a mental model is more likely to
lead to correct traces of recursive algorithms. An
interesting new result was the emergence of a passive
mental model. Here the students recognised that the
recursive algorithm would somehow get to the base case
and then used the base case plus the implicit
definition of the function in the algorithm to build up
the required solution. This model may have arisen
because the students were given a recurrence in
Tutorial 1 and asked to calculate what value would be
returned. Solving the recurrence essentially meant
working up from the value where the result is defined
directly until the desired answer is found. Some
students may have adopted this as their model of
recursion.",

abstract = "This poster describes outcomes associated with the
integration of a BalloonSAT project in Computer Science
curriculum to stimulate minority student recruitment
and retention. BalloonSAT projects involve the launch
of high-altitude helium-filled balloons with
communications equipment, scientific sensors, and
on-board computers coupled with ground-based tracking,
retrieval, data archiving and analysis. The primary
module include communication and tracking equipment ---
typically VHF or UHF radios with Terminal Node
Controllers (TNCs) and GPS receivers to transmit
balloon telemetry using APRS, a radio digital mode. The
secondary modules (science payloads) may include flight
computers and relay controllers integrated with sensors
such as temperature, pressure and other data loggers,
Geiger counters, CO2 monitors, digital or analog
cameras, etc. Students typically design, solder,
assemble, test the components and interface sensors
with microcontrollers. The project has expanded to
include monitoring of tropospheric ozone and students
participated in NASA-based data validation teams. A
number of colleges embed BalloonSAT projects in
interdisciplinary courses as well as capstone projects.
We describe initial results of the impact of this
project in the Computer Science curriculum of a small,
urban primarily minority-serving institution. The
project integrates electronics skills with computer
science discipline areas and scientific investigation.
The project is offered in a Special Projects Computer
Science course supporting curriculum linkages in
traditional areas including data communications,
scientific programming, database systems, and digital
logic design. In the two years since the project has
been implemented, approximately 30 students have
participated in the special projects course with direct
involvement in the BalloonSAT. Students are integrated
into Special Topics courses based on the BalloonSAT
project immediately following completion of
sophomore-level Computer Science courses. Summer
internship opportunities are also available and
supported by external funding. The project is intended
to support and complement student performance in
upper-level Computer Science courses and provide
motivation towards attainment of the BS degree. The
project also helped to broaden student understanding of
potential career choices including graduate studies.
Further proof of this lies in the fact that every
eligible student chose to participate in external
summer internships in primarily NASA-related areas.
Although the BalloonSAT course has special
characteristics that are not generally exportable, it
is worthwhile exploring the more generic features that
appear to stimulate retention and degree completion.
These include the early introduction of compelling
applications with links to curriculum which are
interdisciplinary in nature, foster teamwork and
collaboration and provide students with a broader
understanding of their potential roles in the science
and engineering community. The project is partially
supported by several NASA grants including State Space
Grant Consortia.",

``Unstuck'' which is a work in progress to be finished
June 2008. ``Unstuck'' is a project started by both
teachers and students from Gj{\o}vik University College
and Telemark University College in Norway. This project
started in 2006 as a result of experience from more
than 10 years of teaching students with insufficient
study skills. In this course we aim to present the
theory and practice of ``How to study'' in an exiting
interactive multimedia environment. Telemark University
College has since 2002 educated students starting with
only a certificate of completed apprenticeship. In
2007, approximately 70\% of all the students studying
electrical engineering have this type of background,
and insufficient study skills are a challenge.
``Unstuck'' will be used by students in secondary High
school and University Colleges in Telemark, and
Gj{\o}vik in Norway from August 2008. What makes
Unstuck different from other study skills courses? The
content of Unstuck is similar to other courses; the
difference is the way the content is presented for the
students. Unstuck will contain intensive use of
interaction with the student, which involves various
active actions such as pressing buttons, placing
objects to specific locations on the screen, marking
key words etc. Videos are used to demonstrate how to
study in practice and to illustrate class room and
other study related situations. At the end of the
course the student will have a short test (quiz). If
the student don't pass, it is possible to immediately
repeat relevant sections, and subsequently repeat the
test. ``Unstuck'' will be an easy to use interactive

abstract = "The purpose of this poster is to share innovative
teaching methods at Leeds Metropolitan University in
the Innovation North Faculty of Information and
Technology (INN Faculty). An explorative study has been
undertaken to provide an initial evaluation of the use
of synoptic assessments within the subject area of
Computing. Synoptic assessments, also known as
integrated assessments, help to enable students to make
connections between modules, to increase the level of
student engagement and to provide teaching staff with
the opportunity to adopt a holistic approach to
delivering modules. This type of assessment pulls
together independent assessments from a number of
modules into a single assessment exercise. Synoptic
assessment is driven by providing an environment for
synoptic learning via a supporting course structure.
For this reason, the course structures of the
Innovation North Faculty are described for all three
undergraduate levels. See Table 1 for an example of the
course structure for Level 2. A series of
semi-structured interviews were conducted to learn
about staff and students' perspectives on integrated
assessments and their views of the learning environment
in general. Twenty computing students were approached
to talk about their experience with and opinions of
integrated assessments. In addition to the student
interviews, ten members of academic teaching staff were
interviewed. The findings are the result of an
exploratory study and should be taken as indicative.
The use of synoptic assessments within the INN Faculty
is currently evaluated in depth as part of the CETL
ALiC project [1, 2] and results will be published in
the near future. The analysis of the interviews
indicates that students perceive the delivery pattern
of block teaching and pairing of modules as beneficial.
The main reason for this is that it enables students to
concentrate on two subject areas at a time in
comparison to the traditional semester structure of
four modules. Potential areas for concern are the
nature of modules that are paired and a fair marking
scheme. Teaching staff feel that the synoptic
assessment enabled by a case study has worked well for
the students. However, issues with timetabling need to
be considered, and dependencies between the paired
modules need to be avoided.",

abstract = "Deaf students hardly ever finish higher studies. One
of the biggest difficulties they have to face in
studying for their degrees is reading comprehension due
to their poor literacy skills. It is believed that
though deaf people cannot hear, nothing impedes them
being able to read because, in general they are not
blind. Unfortunately this is not true as showed in [1].
This results in another barrier to their integration
process in the education system, given that most of the
contents delivered by a lecturer in a standard course
are written, whether they are printed, downloaded or
accessed in an e-learning platform. There are some
questions to be considered if we want to find a
solution for the problem depicted above. Firstly, it
can be affirmed that each deaf person learns at his own
pace and, what it is more important, that this pace is
clearly different to his or her hearing classmates'
pace [1]. Secondly, a number of studies show that deaf
people whose main way of communication is sign language
process images in an easier and more efficient way than
words [2]. Thirdly, nowadays e-learning systems are
used world-wide due to its ease of access and the pace
being determined by the learner. Taking all these
factors into account we should deduce that e-learning
systems could constitute an appropriate way of learning
for deaf people if courses were adequately adapted.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of lecturers do not
know about the problems that deaf people have to face
when reading. Therefore, nearly all the written
resources for education, including e-learning courses,
are written for hearing people without any kind of
adaptation. For the reasons depicted above it is
necessary to adapt texts used in web pages or
e-learning courses so they can understand them. In a
previous work submitted and accepted to this
conference, we have referred that we have obtained a
knowledge database with several hundreds of words and
expressions related to Computing Science and terms in
common use that deaf people do not understand. Once we
have this information, one of the following steps to
adapt a text or is to enrich that vocabulary with
visual resources like pictures or videos in sign
language in order to translate or to explain the
concepts expressed by that set of words. Nevertheless,
this work is really heavy even if you have the
knowledge database to hand. For this reason, we present
a tool able to assist lecturers to adapt texts in a
semiautomatic way. When given a text this tool
highlights words or expressions difficult to understand
for a deaf person with intermediate literacy skills and
links them to some visual resources like the above
mentioned. In addition, each image or video
incorporates a short description of the word or concept
to be explained with the visual resource. The tool is a
light-weight, easy to use, accessible web application
that can be used not only by teachers but also by deaf
persons who want to expand the knowledge database
inserting more words or expressions that they do not
understand.",

Technology (IT) to diverse groups of students who had
varied abilities. The ages of the FE students ranged
from pre-16, visiting the College from a local special
school to attend ``taster'' sessions, to adults, some
of whom were seniors, attending a day centre for
disabled adults that had a special arrangement for
College tutors to give classes. The degree student was
a white cane user, read Braille and navigated the
computer with screen reader software. During her time
at University, she took on an ambassadorial role: she
gave guided tours to prospective students around the
University campus during open days! From time to time
she would recount stories that she described as amusing
but which clearly showed ignorance on the part of her
tutors. The title of this presentation is taken from
one of her anecdotes. The Degree course in Business and
IT had several workshops in Computing including
statistics where spreadsheets and specialist software
were used. The author was asked to tutor the student
for the IT workshops of a year-long module. This
included translating the instructional handouts from
mouse-based to keyboard-based, being aware of potential

Education sector, at North Warwickshire and Hinckley
College, was to teach Information Technology (IT) to
diverse groups of students who had varied abilities.
This role was drawn upon in the author's current role
when asked to tutor a student who had enrolled for a
Degree in Business and IT at Coventry University. The
author was asked to tutor the student for the IT
workshops of a year-long module. This included
translating the instructional handouts from mouse-based
to keyboard-based, being aware of potential problems
with specialist software and the quirks of the online
learning system (WebCT) and finding ways of working
around them all. There were also occasions where it was
necessary to create tactile diagrams [1] for the
student. One of the diagrams produced was for critical
path analysis. It was created to allow interactivity
and to reflect a piece of specialist software that was
used for helping students learn the topic. The
materials used included using Euro cents, Wikki sticks
[3] and string!. A technician had been assigned to
produce tactile diagrams for other modules. The
technician realised that there were problems with some
of the requests for tactile diagrams that were being
received from some tutors. From discussions, it was
clear that tutors were unaware of the issues involved
with creating and using tactile diagrams. A void
existed between their understanding from a visual
context and how a tactile diagram worked. For many
instances, creating a tactile diagram would not be
appropriate as the complexity would be multiplied. A
set of simple guidelines were produced that the
technician could use as an aid to explaining issues to
the tutors --- 'touching the void' [5]. The tactile
diagrams produced were using heated ``swell paper''
[2]. This meant that the diagram could be printed from
an image on a computer. The resulting printout would be
raised where lines were. However, it was discovered
that this method gave some disappointing results. As
there were no standards for tactile diagrams but some
conventions and guidelines [4], a strategy was
produced, from the experiences gained, to give optimum
results when translating a diagram from the computer to
the ``swell paper''. This poster displays examples of
tactile diagrams, guidelines given to tutors for
requesting tactile diagrams and strategies for creating

abstract = "This abstract describes a research project being
conducted at a Canadian university in core first year
undergraduate Computing Science courses. We are
investigating the impact of integrating learning
strategies instruction within the regular lab time of
these courses to aid students' learning. Our concern,
shared by educators and academic advisors, is that some
students entering post secondary studies are unfamiliar
with effective learning and study strategies. Our sense
is that students most needing this support are those
with a low grade level average. However, providing
learning strategies instruction to these students only
may be stigmatizing and counterproductive.
Likewise,integrating learning instruction into regular
course time may increase accessibility and
inclusiveness for students who are reluctant to seek
support even if needed. At the same time this
integration may benefit any student, particularly if
sessions are short enough. Universities commonly offer
generic study skills courses. However, increasingly,
and in line with our approach, educators are
recommending including study strategies instruction
within the context of regular academic courses. Some
forms of such integration include supplemental
instruction, adjunct courses and discipline-based study
skills courses (references are not provided here due to
lack of space). In contrast to these programs, our
learning sessions are held within regular classes and
are tied to course topics. Also, students are required
to apply concepts reviewed during the learning session
to course assignments. Aswell, sessions involve both
the course instruction and session facilitator allowing
for rich discussions about the application of learning
theory to course assignments. We describe a
representative semester offering in which we have run
this project in two courses, including two academic
strategies sessions per course. The first session,
Learning Strategies, was graded and built into the
courses' timetables. A second session, also
specifically offered to the students in the courses,
addressed stress and time management issues, which
appear to interfere in the students' learning process.
The Learning Strategies session introduced students to
Bloom's taxonomy of learning levels [1] and
demonstrated how this model applies to the course
topics. Bloom's taxonomy is particularly relevant to
the courses selected for our study, requiring that
students be capable of applying the whole range of
learning levels in Bloom's model. As a follow-up,
students were required to develop questions at
specified Bloom's learning levels, which were
selectively included in the course exam. A second
component of the Learning Strategies session asked
students to consider ways of adapting for tasks of
differing time demands: working outside of class on
weekly assignments and writing time-pressured exams.
The Stress and Time Management session was optional and
did not provide course marks. This session dealt with
signs of burn out, strategies to deal with it, and
resources students can access to get support. In
anonymous and voluntary questionnaires we surveyed
students about the usefulness of integrating learning
strategies instruction into their courses. In the
semester described here there were 140 students in both
courses; 59\% of the students submitted the
questionnaires, 77\% attended a Learning Strategies
session. Our analysis includes self-reported prior
grade level, course commitment level average and level
of motivation to attend learning sessions. Survey
responses reveal that students who were most motivated
to attend these sessions have relatively low prior
grades: from C to B. This is in fact our intended
audience: students who struggle to improve in their
studies. Students with higher grade levels were not as
interested. Other analysis showed that those students
who have a higher course commitment level are more
interested and find these types of sessions more
useful. Many students responded that they want more
time spent on this type of session and more practical
learning advice. We also surveyed students about stress
and time management. A much higher percentage of
stressed students are found within those reporting
intermediate prior grades. Very interestingly, those
who declare the lowest commitment level proportionally
report being the most stressed. Students assessing
themselves lower in time management and study
techniques also indicated having low levels of
commitment to the course, suggesting that our
intervention is worthwhile. So far we have implemented
these sessions for three semesters and have analyzed
the data from one semester only. However feedback from
students and academic advisors confirms our preliminary
results that this approach is very promising.
Furthermore, our departments are currently considering
applying our model to more courses. For the future, we
will continue to investigate incorporating these and
other learning activities into computing science
courses.",

in real time over the Internet. It also records the
class as presented, so that students can attend class
delayed in time. NEW has been designed to be highly
modular and to make effective use of both network
bandwidth and human time. Reference [1] describes how
George Mason University has used NEW to offer a popular
and innovative MS degree in Computer Science, at low
cost. NEW consists of multi-platform, open source
software that runs on inexpensive Windows and Linux
computers. It implements both synchronous and
asynchronous paradigms for distance education in a way
that requires little additional effort on the part of
the instructor and little additional cost for the
institution, yet provides greatly increased
accessibility to students and therefore promotes wider
access to graduate computer science education. NEW is
freely available to the Computer Science education
community. Some important features which make it
attractive are: o Works over dialup modem and most
commercial Internet services, allowing live
participation, record, and playback at any site. o
Provides access to students at home or office, even
through firewalls and network address translation (NAT)
systems. o Features Web-based access with LDAP
authentication and an open source course management
database. o Audio and whiteboard interfaces with floor
control and text chat panel allow full interaction with
students over the Internet and require minimal learning
time for faculty (video also is available with
broadband Internet). o Supports authoring of graphic
materials from any application. o Web-based Course
Management system simplifies teaching, learning, and
administration. This demonstration will feature the NEW
clients for both Windows and Linux, in operation with
the NEW Live and Playback servers over a local wireless
network (see figure below for operational
configuration). The NEW software will be available
during the demonstration for installation and operation
on attendees' laptop computers.",

University. To do this, the author drew upon previous

College in the Midlands, where she taught Information
Technology (IT) to diverse groups of students who had
varied abilities. The ages of the FE students ranged
from pre-16, visiting the College from a local special
school to attend ``taster'' sessions, to adults, some
of whom were seniors, attending a day centre for
disabled adults that had a special arrangement for
College tutors to give classes. The degree student was
a white cane user, read Braille and navigated the
computer with screen reader software. During her time
at University, she took on an ambassadorial role: she
gave guided tours to prospective students around the
University campus during open days! From time to time
she would recount stories that she described as amusing
but which clearly showed ignorance on the part of her
tutors. The Degree course in Business and IT had
several workshops in Computing including statistics
where spreadsheets and specialist software were used.
The author was asked to tutor the student for the IT
workshops of a year-long module. This included
translating the instructional handouts from mouse-based
to keyboard-based, being aware of potential problems
with specialist software and the quirks of the online
learning system (WebCT) [1] and finding ways of working
around them all. This ``tips and techniques'' session
gives an account of some of these issues around the
student's stories, creating and translating

several coherent teaching strategies and a variety of

an attempt to manipulate stock prices has raised
eyebrows at the Federal Trade Commission and resulted
in a probe by the Securities and Exchange Commission

finding out that dumb photos of themselves appearing to
be drunk or on drugs, which they posted on FaceBook as
a joke along with language to support the ruse, are now
preventing them from getting jobs or security
clearances. The site Second Life has generated both

listened to the Firesign Theatre Group and wondered
what one of their phrases meant: ``How can you be in
two places at once when you're not anywhere at all.''
Today I am thinking of a similar phrase, one I think
may apply to many of our introductory courses: ``How
can we teach problem-solving when we're not solving
real problems at all.'' Of course I have something in
mind when I use the phrase real problem. Before I
describe what I have in mind I'll take a liberty and
describe what I don't have in mind: I don't have in
mind Towers of Hanoi to illustrate recursion; I don't
have in mind a program printing the verses of 'Old
MacDonald had a Farm' to illustrate methods and
parameters; I don't have in mind employees, hourly
employees, and salaried employees to illustrate
inheritance. I confess, however, to having used all
these examples at some point, but I've abandoned them
for a higher cause: the cause of using real problems.
My bias is that the real problems we use should come
from the academic disciplines our students know about
and are close to. For my students these include
computer science, biology, economics, sociology,
physics, and mathematics. But I am biased even further
and I'm staying away from number theory, combinatorics,
and inclined planes. That doesn't mean we shouldn't use
songs to illustrate parameter passing or employees to
illustrate inheritance. We should use these as
metaphors and analogies to ground the concepts in terms
the students understand. However, these examples should
not be the ultimate goal in what we want our students
to understand --- they should be tools we use in
explaining the concepts we need to understand real
problems.",

They usually involve clear and simple rules, with
physical, visual, or numerical entities, which raise
motivation and intuition. The development of their
playing strategies requires both heuristic reasoning
and rigor. In order to win, one should recognize and
capitalize on number patterns, such as parity and
symmetry, as well as invariant patterns of repeated
algorithmic actions. The search for patterns involves
essential problem solving heuristics, and the
validation of devised algorithmic actions requires a
rigorous, scientific point of view. While games are
known to be stimulating, their utilization in textbooks
is very limited, if at all. In this paper, we offer an
instructional approach, of using mathematical games,
for elaborating fundamental notions that are apparent
and relevant already at the very basic levels of
computer science (CS) studies. We display our approach,
illustrate it, and describe our experience in applying

also provides data structure flexibility to the

vice versa. This meta-language provides a simple,
flexible, extensible, and a formal framework for
expressing transformational schemes. It also automates
the cumbersome and error-prone part of the program
transformation. Our aim is to make meta-programming
less error-prone, by providing a type system to
facilitate the construction of correct meta- frame.",

engineering concepts, it can be noted that there are
very few pieces of work dealing with how to get across,
through teaching, the practical experience that has

The few works that do exist focus on design patterns.
Pattern catalogues, however, do not completely resolve
the problem of imparting the experience about
object-oriented design, an area where it is clear that
the greatest benefit derived from the patterns is
achieved when their designers are already-experienced.
What is more, other elements associated with
object-oriented knowledge, such as principles,
heuristics, best practices, bad smells, etc., are
components related to practical knowledge of design.
These are barely taken into consideration, however. In
an effort to solve these problems, we put forward an
ontology which brings together and integrates
object-oriented design which improves teaching, amongst
other things. It makes the great quantity of knowledge
that has been built up clearer and brings it together
into a united whole. It is thus possible to create
catalogues of integrated knowledge.",

(CRM) literature is scattered across discourse
communities and published in specialty journals and
conference proceedings. This dispersion has led to the
use of inconsistent terminology when referring to CRM.
With no established CRM vocabulary and isolated
discourse communities, computing as a field needs to
engage in a sense-making process to establish the
common ground necessary to support meaningful dialog.
We propose to establish common ground through the
construction of the {$<$ u$>$ c$<$}/{u$>$ omputing}

scholar-produced digital resource for the CRM
community. As with its parent design research project
on teaching CRM, CRM-MPDL is being developed through
iterative and participatory design in an emergent
fashion in tandem with the larger CRM community. For
our resource to be viable, we must carefully explore
the rich details and nuances of our stakeholder
communities and the perspectives they bring to the
sense-making process. As a discount alternative to
truly having a representative sample of our user
population ``in the room'' with us throughout the
design and implementation process, we have implemented
a development approach for CRM-MPDL using personas as a
means to gain insights and feedback from the target
user communities. For this iteration of the development
process, we are concentrating on the needs of the
faculty. In this report, we present our evolving
understanding of the project, and seek feedback and
input on several key aspects of the theoretical and
process models. We then present the framework for the
faculty personas, as well as an overview of some of the
personas at the time the paper was prepared, in the
hopes that we can entice readers to visit the project
website to help with the ongoing audit and refinement
process. We also give an overview of the content model
for CRM-MPDL, which will have evolved (and may even be
available as a working prototype) by the time this
article appears in print. Finally, we conclude with a
current status summary, and issue several specific
calls for participation in the ongoing work of the

``Storytelling Alice'') have been very effective in the

the most popular PC video game in history. Damn shame I
won't be there to see it. As you probably know, I'm
dying of pancreatic cancer, as became widely known in
my ``Last Lecture.'' Like Moses, I get to see the
promised land, but not set foot in it. But the vision
is clear. Long before I became ill, Dennis Cosgrove
took over the responsibility for the design of Alice
v3.0, and he's doing a whale of a job. Steve Cooper (of
St. Joseph's University), Wanda Dann, and Don Slater
are handling the pedagogic materials for college and
high school, and Caitlin Kelleher (now junior faculty

documented in the literature that in general students
have difficulties with proofs by induction. Even though
through the years some solutions were proposed to
improve the situation, recent studies show that
students are still having difficulties. Currently,
proofs by induction take up too little of the computer
science curriculum, and they are taught as a
step-by-step procedure to be followed, which is not
sufficient for students to gain conceptual
understanding. In contrast, our approach aims at
students' conceptual understanding by shifting their
focus from the syntactic form of proofs by induction to
their substance. The theoretical underpinning of our
approach is an operationalization of the Induction
Principle.",

measured performance. (For comparison: a 1996 Cray T3D
MC256-8/464 provided 25.3 Gflops.) This makes Microwulf
the first Beowulf with a price/performance ratio below
\$100/Gflop (for double-precision operations). The
system measures just 11in x 12in x 17in (27.9 cm x 30.5
cm x 43.2 cm), runs at room temperature, and plugs into
a standard wall outlet. These desirable characteristics
combine to make Microwulf an attractive design for most

system administration of laboratories for undergraduate
system-oriented courses have found elegant solutions in
the deployment of virtualization suites. This
technological advance enabled these courses to switch
from a mostly descriptive content to learning
activities which engage students in hands-on,
authentic, problem-based learning. Since this type of
activity requires students to be administrators of
their own virtual machines (VM) or even virtual
networks, the experience gained is intrinsically
authentic. The potential impact on student learning, as
compared to simulation or lecture only based setups is
worth investigating for laboratories in operating
systems, networking, computer security, system
administration, etc. We propose to review the
increasingly important role that virtualization is
playing in computing education from 2 perspectives; (1)
Classrooms' system administration and technological
advances which support the development of new
pedagogies (2) Pedagogical advances which instructors
can now implement thanks to these technologies and
their impact on students learning from either
quantitative or qualitative perspectives The presenters

three times at two separate institutions, with a third

cryptographic methods are used to secure information,

University, cryptography has been taught as part of a
mathematics and computer science degree for several
years. The students all have had at least a year of
tertiary mathematics, and some exposure to a computer
algebra system (Maple). However, the cost of Maple, and
the current licensing agreement, means that students
are unable to experiment with the software away from
the computer laboratories at the University. For this
reason we have decided to investigate the use of
open-source computer algebra systems Maxima and Axiom.
Although not as full-featured and powerful as the
commercial systems Maple and Mathematica, we show they
are in fact admirably suited for a subject such as
cryptography. In some ways Maxima and Axiom even
surpass Maple and Mathematica. Student response to the

process, which shows how and where the rules are
applied, modeling, design and architectural patterns,
language features, and refactoring. The course has
evolved over the past 10 years to one that revolves
around three major case studies. This evolution has
resulted in a course that covers all important aspects
of OOAD in a manner that emphasizes their
inter-relatedness and hence their relevance to overall
design process. Feedback suggests that this approach
has improved students' understanding of the OOAD

cognitive conflict and program visualisation with the
aim of supporting novice programmers in the formulation
of appropriate mental models. The results of an initial
empirical study produced three findings of note.
Firstly, a teaching model based on either visualisation
alone or cognitive conflict integrated with
visualisation can help students develop viable models
of value assignment. Secondly, there was evidence to
suggest that cognitive conflict integrated with
visualisation outperformed visualisation alone in
helping students develop viable models of the more
challenging concept of object reference assignment. And
thirdly, there was evidence of an improvement in
students' understanding of value and object reference
assignment using the teaching model based on
visualisation and cognitive conflict.",

within the context of ``design crits.'' We describe and
motivate the studio-based approach, review previous
efforts to apply it to computer science education, and
propose an agenda for multi-institutional research into

abstract = "Worldwide, there is substantial evidence that cultural
contexts may either support or hinder the number of
women versus men participating in computing. There is
also evidence that certain computing disciplines have
more appeal to women than others. Hence research on any
computing gender gap should be specific to a culture
and a computing discipline. In the United States (US) a
popular belief is that Computer Science (CS) has a
decidedly 'masculine culture'. This paper reports on
research that investigates this perception, comparing
CS undergraduates to undergraduates in non-computing
disciplines (NCD). The data were collected in a
nationwide purposeful sampling of US citizens attending
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)
and Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) with an
ethnic compositional focus on African Americans and
Caucasians. The paper describes a survey scale
developed in the US to characterize a person's gender
role as feminine, masculine, or androgynous. The data
were analyzed using statistical and data mining
techniques. Surprisingly, CS students were found to be
more androgynous than masculine.",

advance learning. What does a blog about a computer

to enable noteblogging as a form of auxiliary
instruction? In this paper we overview the design and
use of noteblogging as part of the Ubiquitous Presenter
digital classroom system. With NoteBlogger, students
with Tablet PCs take handwritten notes digitally on top
of the instructor's slides, and their notes are
instantly reviewable by other students in class using a
web browser. We examine the impact of noteblogging on a
CS1 course through interviews with bloggers (to reveal
their motivation and understand their choice of
content) and blog watchers (to learn when and why they
watch). We also analyze the blogs in this CS1 course to
identify their educational contribution. We find that
noteblogging enables a unique classroom participation
model that specifically engages more advanced students.
Blog content spans many levels of intellectual
engagement, which can support a range of learners in
CS1 as well as perhaps model for them various levels of

a challenging endeavor. Test-driven development (TDD)
has been proposed as a solution to improve both

has been proposed as a pedagogical approach for
teaching TDD without imposing significant additional
instruction time. This research evaluates the effects
of students using a test-first (TDD) versus test-last
approach in early programming courses, and considers
the use of TDL on a limited basis in CS1 and CS2.
Software testing, programmer productivity, programmer
performance, and programmer opinions are compared
between test-first and test-last programming groups.
Results from this research indicate that a test-first
approach can increase student testing and programmer
performance, but that early programmers are very
reluctant to adopt a test-first approach, even after
having positive experiences using TDD. Further, this
research demonstrates that TDL can be applied in CS1/2,
but suggests that a more pervasive implementation of
TDL may be necessary to motivate and establish
disciplined testing practice among early programmers.",

Collaborations have given me occasion to reflect on how
sustainable such initiatives are, and whether they will
over time become embedded in the fabric of modern
University education, especially for courses such as
Global Software Engineering. Swigger and colleagues
argue to the contrary at least for now, observing that
``technical barriers such as unreliable software and
institutional regulations discourage most teachers from
exploring distributed learning'' [1]. But does this
pessimistic view truly recognize the realities of the
age? For Giddens ``one of the dominant characteristics
of modernity is the separation of time from space made
possible by the standardization of time across the
world'', with ``human efforts to standardize temporal
frameworks inscribed in official time zones'' [2]. Is a
Global Collaboration then, inherently a product of the
trend towards universal time, wherein time is the
scarce resource of `clock' time (based on what might be
termed a temponomic world view [3, P.61]).",

abstract = "One of the questions that is frequently raised during
any serious discussion related to the identity of
Information Systems (IS) education is the relationship
between the business domain and IS and the role of IS
as a business discipline. Naturally, IS as an academic
discipline has its strongest roots within the business
school community and a history that is closely linked
to the rapid growth in the dependence of businesses of
all types and sizes on information technology.
Particularly in North America, most of the founding
academics in the field of IS came from business
schools, and information systems as artifacts were seen
to exist to support management in organizations. Both
in research and in curriculum development, large
corporations got more attention than smaller companies
because they presented the most interesting and
challenging problems to solve and had the most focused
demand for graduates. In addition, business schools
identified the need to hire academic specialists who
are able to integrate issues related to business and
technology in their research and teaching. Particularly
during the boom years of late 1980s and 1990s, student
demand for courses in Information Systems was very
high, which obviously raised the level of interest in
the discipline among business school administrators.
The events of early 2000s led to the rapid declines in
enrollments that we all have experienced and are
fighting against. Not surprisingly, these developments
have made some business schools question the value of
IS programs and departments, but the field is still
predominantly associated with business schools.",

precisely what math teaches. Computer science
reciprocates by providing models and hands-on exercises
that help clarify and illustrate more abstract math.''

fact that there is no systematic discipline to study
the Web. We need to understand the current, evolving,
and potential Web but at the moment we have no means of
predicting the impact that future developments in the
Web will have on society or business. Web Science aims
to anticipate these impacts. It is the study of the
social behaviours in the Web at the inter-person,
inter-organizational and societal level, the
technologies that enable and support this behaviour,
and the interactions between these technologies and
behaviours. It is therefore inherently
interdisciplinary and at even the simplest level
represents a fundamental collaboration between computer
science and the social sciences. Computer Science as a
discipline has not grasped the Web and the implications
of its development. Most Computer Science departments
do not teach ``Web Science'' fundamentals let alone
specialist courses in this area, either with or without
contributions from the social sciences or other
relevant disciplines. This talk will explore the
fundamentals of Web Science and make the case for
Computer Science educators to meet this challenge
head-on. Not only will it revitalise Computer Science

degrees that we argue will attract a wider diversity

object orientation in the introductory programming
sequence. While the pendulum swings to and fro between
the ``objects first'' and ``back to basics'' extremes,
there is general agreement that object-oriented
programming is central to modern software development
and therefore integral to a computer science
curriculum. Developing effective approaches to teach
these principles raises challenges that have been
exacerbated by the use of Java or C++ as the first
instructional language. In this paper, we recommend
Python as an excellent choice for teaching an
object-oriented CS1. Although often viewed as a
``scripting'' language, Python is a fully
object-oriented language with a consistent object model
and a rich set of built-in classes. Based upon our
experiences, we describe aspects of the language that
help support a balanced introduction to object
orientation in CS1. We also discuss the downstream
effects on our students' transition to Java and C++ in

based on our software engineering (SE) class jointly
taught for the last there years between San Francisco

Sciences, Fulda University, Germany. We define global
SE practices as those used when the team members are
for the most part distributed in terms of location and
time, and hence do not meet regularly in person. While
global SE practices have become a significant mode of
SW development, surprisingly little formal measurements
and comparisons have been done to understand it and
compare it with traditional (local) SE practices.
Moreover, the challenge remains as to how to
effectively prepare students and employees for this
environment. The key contribution of this paper is an
attempt to objectively compare differences between
local and global SW engineering practices from the
developers' perspective, using measurements from our
SFSU/Fulda SW engineering class as a simulation of a
real-world environment. We also propose practical SE
teamwork assessment methods based on our comparison
measurements. In analyzing the differences between
local and global SE practices we measure and analyze
the following five main factors: quality of final
delivery (including development of milestone
documentation), progress impediment factors, expended
effort, level of collaborative activity and teamwork
problems. One of the surprising findings is that in
today environment the differences between local and
global SE practices are blurring, since local groups
have to employ many practices of global groups, e.g.,
are teams of diverse cultures who seldom meet each
other in person. We also confirm that global groups
spend significantly more effort in producing comparable

definitely a practical approach, the work that has been

non-majors, often using tools like Microsoft Excel, or

from the students. Additionally, existing tools are
specific to a particular structure of the data (CSV,
XML, and others). As a result, these constraints make
on-line real-world data sets difficult to use in
typical introductory programming courses for majors.
Objects-first approaches to teaching introductory
programming advocate the use of objects early on.
Consequently, students are able to take advantage of
using data types early on. We have created an interface
that allows students to access real-world data sets
from online (or local) sources in a uniform fashion.
This abstraction allows students with minimal
programming experience to load, process, and manipulate
external data sets in a variety of formats. We also

experts writing systems internals; but recently the
growing importance of application servers, and the

focus on one aspect of multi-threaded code, namely how
to write sensible thread-safe classes. We identify the

some examples that can help students avoid common

is based on students contributing programming problems

systems, use a mechanism based on unit testing to
account for variation in the way in which the same
problem can be answered in an accurate manner, making
such systems highly appealing for education. Tackling
open-ended programming problems within WeBWorK
therefore requires students to write a code fragment
that is then checked for semantic correctness. Given
that WeBWorK is open source, the teaching approach that
we have evolved revolves around students creating their
own problems for other students to practice with. This
requires students to construct comprehensive unit tests
that can assure both the usability and accuracy of
their work prior to deployment. The paper describes
this approach, gives examples of student work, presents
findings from the experience of using the approach in
the classroom, and discusses broader lessons and

be a powerful tool, but it can also be easy to

intuitive and attractive algorithms that rely on mutual
recursion, and which have been designed to help
strengthen students' ability to decompose problems and
apply induction. Furthermore, we show that a solution
based on mutual recursion may be easier to design,
prove and comprehend than other solutions based on
direct recursion. We have evaluated the use of these
algorithms while teaching recursion concepts. Results
suggest that mutual recursion, in comparison with other
types of recursion, is not as hard as it seems when:

abstract = "One of the greatest challenges Computer Science (CS)
teachers face is that of guiding their pupils through
problem-solving processes, i.e., the process of
constructing a solution for a given problem as an
algorithm or a computer program. This paper suggests a
tutoring model, to be implemented by prospective CS
teachers, that aims at training them to accomplish this
challenge. The model is based on one-on-one tutoring
sessions, in which the prospective teacher meets a
novice undergraduate student taking an introductory CS
course and guides him or her through problem-solving
processes. The tutoring activity provides the
prospective CS teachers with an opportunity to
experience teaching situations, especially learners'
difficulties with respect to problem-solving processes,
and consequently, to improve their teaching skills. The
tutoring model was integrated into the Methods of
Teaching Computer Science course and was accompanied by
a qualitative research. The main research findings
indicate that the prospective CS teachers: (a) change
their perspective with respect to teaching processes;
(b) focus in their teaching on learners' difficulties;
(c) increase their awareness to problem-solving
processes and to the need to adapt different teaching
approaches for different learners; (d) become
reflective practitioners; and (e) increase their
confidence with respect to teaching processes.",

a third culture, computer users and thus, in CS
lessons, three cultural viewpoints are employed
simultaneously, which might recast students'
understanding of CS with ungenuine-CS elements. The
power of this framework was demonstrated in a
three-phase investigation into difficulties regarding
correctness using questionnaires. The first two phases
revealed how both school and the user's culture nurture
students' misconceptions of correctness, which
contribute to students' inadequate work habits. The
third phase exposed teachers' dual viewpoint on a
programming activity, which students can misinterpret
as agreement with their (mis)understanding of the
concept.",

abstract = "For the past three years, SIGCSE has sponsored a
design research project on teaching Computing Research
Methods (CRM) [4]. The initial phase of the work
included an ITiCSE working group that gathered a great
deal of literature on and about: computing research;
CRM; and teaching CRM [3]. During the literature
review, we discovered a number of similar current and
prior efforts, some of which had even met with limited
success within their discourse community. However,
because the CRM literature is divided across
publishers, indices, and discourse communities, none of
the earlier efforts established the common ground
necessary for meaningful dialog on curricular issues
(see section 1.1. of [1]) To establish that common
ground, we decided to foster a scholar-produced digital
resource to facilitate integrating teaching / learning
research methods across the computing curriculum [1].
Scholar-produced digital resources are digital
libraries that are produced by scholarly communities of
practice, rather than by external stakeholders such as
commercial publishers or libraries. These digital
libraries are rich interactive web locales that ``. . .
include aggregations of resources that support
research, such as field-based topic gateways and
bibliographies; products of original research such as
novel multimedia publications and handbook type web
publications, communication forums such as preprint
archives and pure e-journals; and research tools such
as non-proprietary software available via the web.''
[2] We started work on the CRM Multi-Perspective
Digital Library (CRM-MPDL) in early 2007. A second
ITiCSE working group [1] focused on the faculty
perspectives in CRM-MPDL. A SIGCSE special projects
grant funded student research assistants for CRM-MPDL.
As a consequence, students have become a very active
and vocal constituency in the project, and they have
made significant progress on a set of student design
and content elements for CRM-MPDL. To date, we have
developed an international participatory design
community [4]; conducted and published an extensive
literature review and glossary [3]; developed some
initial curricular materials [4]; and constructed a
prototype design for the faculty perspective in a
multiperspective digital resource to integrate teaching
research methods across the computing curriculum [1].
One of the goals of the project has been to build a
tool that is useful to faculty, students, industry,
administrators, and anyone else who is interested in
teaching or learning about CRM. A prototype of CRM-MPDL
is ready to be tested, interacted with, and critiqued.
The goal of this poster is to solicit participation
from the ITiCSE conference attendees. An international
audience is necessary for us to get the most
comprehensive feedback for the tool. We have a growing
set of content materials and a growing set of design
materials. A laptop will be available at the poster for
attendees to experience CRM-MPDL on site.",

abstract = "The rapid rate of the development of computer
technology raises the issue of how to reform Computer
Science education in elementary and middle schools. In
Korea the government has taken this issue seriously,
and the Ministry of Education \& Human Resources
Development has announced substantial revisions to its
computing curricula, leading to a new curriculum in
Informatics to be introduced for middle schools in
2010, and for high schools in 2011. There is a proposal
that the elementary school curriculum will be linked to
these, and with a stronger focus on not just learning
how to operate computers and software, but
understanding the methods and algorithms behind
Computer Science. Research on identifying effective
teaching methods for CS topics at the elementary level
is critical at the moment, as the content of the
developing curriculum will be influenced by information
about which topics are able to be taught effectively at
this level. We are particularly interested to establish
how these topics can be covered effectively without
having to reduce them to a comfortable re-working of
the status quo driven by a lack of background on
teaching these new topics. Hence it is important to
have experience with teaching such topics so that they
can be considered for widespread use in the curriculum.
As in most countries, Korean elementary school teachers
are generalists, and therefore the Informatics
curriculum needs to be presented in a way that a
generalist can engage with it, as well as engage their
students. One approach that avoids the difficulties and
distraction of computers in the elementary school
classroom is the use of offline activities: activities
that work with Computer Science concepts, but are not
done at the computer. These aim to educate students
about abstract and challenging concepts behind
algorithms, but without using a computer. It is our
belief that computer science fundamentals can be taught
without the help of computers; many key concepts
predate the modern computer, and many demonstrations
are available for a wide range of concepts. Currently
the existing work on offline activities is not directly
aimed at teaching CS to elementary-age children. Much
of the published work is aimed primarily at tertiary
level students, and is generally intended for motivated
students in a university classroom. Most of the
kinesthetic material developed for elementary school
material is aimed at enthusing students about CS; they
explicitly do not presume to teach ideas, but simply
inform students about the kind of thinking and problem
solving that is required for CS, and therefore make
students better informed about choosing a career in the
field. In particular, assessment is an important
component of teaching, and current resources are not
strong in this area. With the opportunity for CS topics
to be taught to students, we have experimented with
using kinesthetic approaches in the classroom. In
addition to needing to provide assessment, we have
identified that a particular issue is that elementary
level teachers are usually non-specialists, and we
report on work to enable such teachers to adopt CS
teaching material effectively. An important component
of this is providing background information about how
the topic is used in practice. The poster summarises
our experiences and feedback from teachers in making
this material accessible for elementary school
students.",

abstract = "Active Learning in Computing (ALiC) is the first
Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL)
project for Computing Science in England. Funded by
HEFCE, the initiative seeks to prepare students for the
realities of working in their chosen field by aligning
their learning experiences and transferable skill sets
with those sought by today's software engineering
industry. One way ALiC achieves this is by introducing
cross-site, collaborative group-programming tasks into
the curriculum. Running over an academic year, this
approach encourages active interaction and dialogue
between student teams at Newcastle and Durham
universities, and develops strong, real-world problem
solving skills in participants. The ALiC project has
thus far generated a great deal of positive feedback
from undergraduates, and we feel our approach to
inter-institutional teamwork offers students a
realistic and relevant ``real world'' experience [2].
However, we are also becoming increasingly aware that
time and resource pressures can make it difficult for
students to maintain adequate levels of communication
for any length of time [4], and once a team disperses
it becomes difficult for its members to preserve the
channels needed to interact and collaborate
effectively. Consequently, an emerging area of research
at Newcastle University concerns how learning can be
enhanced through the use of computer-mediated social
networking environments --- online communities such as
Facebook, Friendster and Bebo --- through which
registered users connect with friends and colleagues to
explore similar interests and activities. In a
collaborative educational context, these online social
networking services offer an attractive means to foster
student interaction and community building by providing
a means to explore the common ground that exists
between participants. [1] To that end, we intend to
embed the communication and ``social awareness''
affordances --- profile creation, synchronous and
asynchronous chat, status updates, etc. --- of popular
social networking sites into our undergraduate,
cross-site software engineering projects [3]. Social
network analysis will be used to identify, map and
analyse the flow of information and resources between
distributed team members. The pedagogic motivation
behind this work is to foster greater group-oriented
interaction by filling the communication void that
often arises between face-to-face meetings [5]. By
reducing the geographic and temporal barriers to
interaction and community formation (especially where
'peripheral', passive team members are concerned), team
members will become increasingly aware of each others'
skills, personalities, work rhythms and needs --- both
online and off --- within a pre-existing, persistent,
convenient infrastructure.",

abstract = "This work describes a new Moodle module, CTpractices,
developed to give support to the practical content of a
basic computer organization course. Within a
constructivist pedagogical approach Moodle (Modular
Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment)[1], a
very popular Learning Management System (LMS), provides
a highly configurable web-based interface that includes
a wide range of activities which are, in general,
sufficient for a standard course. Nevertheless, when
dealing with specific subjects, some functional
features are missed, as it is the case when teaching a
basic course on computer architecture, an essential
topic in the computer science curricula. It involves
practical assignments consisting on the design and
simulation of elementary processors by means of CAD
tools making use of schematic or VHDL design entries.
Currently the University of Malaga is making an
increasing effort oriented to the successfull
implementation of the ECTS (European Credit Transfer
System) system. This involves changing the teaching
practices carried out traditionally [2], looking
towards the developing of assessment mechanisms in
order to increase the student?s active effort. In our
course, in order to better guide the students, teachers
should perform a functional evaluation using a
simulation tool to verify whether the students? designs
work or not according to the specifications. This is a
very time consuming task, becoming a common bottleneck
when looking for a continuous assessment of students.
One key element of the new CTpractices module is the
automatic checking and verification engine that keeps
information about the current state of students work,
supplying automatic assessment features and feedback to
the student. Teachers can modify the project
description and define different testing benches. The
module stores historical information concerning the
results of the different evaluations, extracting
statistics and metrics which are very useful when
determining the student workload in the context of the
ETS model. Additionally, this new module is oriented to
promote a collaborative teamwork allowing to define
student teams in a more operative way than built-in
moodle groups. Other basic aspects supported are
material repository, deadlines, hosting, etc. The new
module inherits a part of its functionality from a
specific LMS previously developed by the authors, that
has been in use from academic year 2004 [3], widely
proving its usefulness. It has been re-designed
according to the Moodle philosophy, making possible to
easily extend its application to other similar
subjects. The choice for Moodle is motivated by its
modular organization based on free software like PHP
and MySQL. From the developer point of view, this
allows to add new modules using well-known interfaces.
As Moodle is currently used by the Virtual Campus of
our university, this new module breaks the isolation of
the previous platform as refers to activities like
forums, messages or event signaling.",

abstract = "Informatics education, not only in higher but also in
secondary education, is often assisted by special
learning software to teach the fundamental ideas of
algorithms [2]. In this context pupils also learn the
basics of programming using didactically reduced,
text-based or visual programming languages. Therefore
in Germany, in some federal countries (for example
Bavaria), where the basics of algorithms are already
taught in the 7$^{th}$ grade (age 12 to 13 years),
age-based learning and programming environments, such
as Karel, the robot and Kara, the programmable ladybug
[1], are used. Although the design of these
environments is age-based, working with them to solve
algorithmic problems often causes problems in the
classroom. These tools give feedback to the learners
based on the analysis of a current solution attempt
without taking the previous problem solving process
into account. The system messages are often rather
technical and therefore hardly helpful especially for
weaker learners to enable them to correct arisen
problems by themselves. In order to give optimal
support to pupils in these situations and therefore
improve the learning processes, the learner-system
interaction of the used educational software
environments should be enhanced and better be adapted
to the learners? individual problem solving strategies.
The main objective of this research project is to find
out, to what extent the automated diagnosis of a
problem solving strategy of a learner is possible, and
to what extent this knowledge can be used to enhance
the learner-system interaction. Starting from the
advantages and disadvantages of standardized process
observation methods, two software-based research
instruments for the system supported diagnosis of the
individual proceedings, using the learning environment
Kara, were designed and implemented. With the first
component learner-system interactions are recorded, the
second one provides functions to analyse the collected
data. Using test-cases gives a first idea of the
quality of the solution attempts. The requirements for
the software components resulted from several test
scenarios with a small number of participants with
different qualification in computer science (from
novices to graduating computer science students).
During these tests each individual was observed by a
researcher and additionally interviewed afterwards. A
first version of the implemented instruments was tested
in case studies with more than 100 participants (12 to
13 years old) from Bavarian grammar schools to evaluate
the suitability for daily use. During the studies the
learners were asked to solve three given tasks in a
session of 45 minutes, provided by the Kara system,
individually (one pupil per computer), but
communication between the test persons was allowed. The
tasks required knowledge of the control structures
(sequence, selection, iteration). The results of these
studies indicate that it is possible to identify and to
evaluate different problem solving patterns with the
help of the developed instruments. To identify
different types of learners? strategies it is necessary
to combine the various kinds of visualizations of the
collected data. To support automatic categorization
pattern-recognition methods will be used. The collected
ordinal (test-case results) and nominal data can be
used for analyses of the correlation between different
factors (for example number of error messages or
program executions compared with the assessment of the
solution attempt) with methods of descriptive
statistics.",

Engineering (SE) is most effectively taught by using a
variety of hands-on experiences. Team-based projects
where students can practice their technical and soft
skills are a key feature of many software engineering
courses aimed to prepare students for the realities of
industrial software development. Current research
indicates that projects offered in SE courses should
have a close connection to the real world, be large
scale and complex. On the one hand, students should be
able to relate to the requirements and understand them
without spending much time acquiring domain knowledge.
On the other hand, students should be exposed to
changing and evolving requirements, which is one of the
main challenges of real-world software projects.
Software projects should be large enough and have
enough features to engage all members of the student
team while enabling them to practice some degree of
specialization and experience the advantages and
challenges of teamwork. Software projects should be
rich enough to allow students practice all previously
acquired SE concepts, bring together knowledge from
other specialized CS disciplines, and apply a number of
modern tools and technologies. One of the most
effective ways to learn SE is to expose students to an
environment that resembles an industrial setting as
much as possible. As a part of an academic program, SE
courses can achieve this objective by offering students
a balanced combination of three components: teamwork
involving up-to-date technology grounded in a solid
theoretical foundation. Instructors in SE courses are
uniquely positioned to help maintain this balance by
simultaneously playing four roles described below. As a
customer who contracts a student team to implement a
particular project, the instructor may provide a verbal
or written description of the project. It is the
students? responsibility to conduct the requirements
elicitation interviews and to prepare formal
requirements specification for subsequent validation
with the customer and possible adjustment. The
instructor may act as a customer during the acceptance
testing throughout the project to make sure that the
team is on the right track at every iteration of the
project. The instructor acting as a customer can also
act as a proxy if the project has been offered by an
industrial partner, or some other department or
organization on campus. As an architect initially
specifying the overall structure of the solution, the
instructor can help students choose the right software
architecture. This is a very important choice that has
to be made early because it impacts the overall flow of
the project. Later architectural changes can be
extremely costly and can significantly jeopardize
meeting the deadlines. Most likely, students do not
have experience in making such architectural decisions
and, therefore, it is crucial for the instructor to
provide some guidance in this important process. As a
team manager concerned with risk management, the
instructor needs to pay attention that the team efforts
are not jeopardized due to a potential lack of
students? soft skills and that these skills are built
up as the project progresses. Although it is the
students? responsibility to create all artifacts
emerging from the project, the instructor can help the
team adhere to the schedule by providing feedback based
on the inspection of all produced artifacts. In this
respect, the roles of the team manager and the customer
may somewhat overlap because the same person will be
providing feedback to the team from the technical point
of view (artifact inspection), as well as from the
customer point of view (verification of product
implementation at each iteration). In addition to the
traditional role of giving lectures, the instructor
needs to be a mentor offering guidance to each team and
individual students addressing their specific needs and
answering questions unique to their projects and the
responsibilities in the context of the project.
Furthermore, the instructor is uniquely positioned to
advise individual students on how to resolve potential
conflicts within a team. Such an advice given at the
right time could make a difference between completing
the project on time and allowing interpersonal tensions
completely ruin any chance of collaboration between the
team members.",

Witwatersrand (Wits) is a breadth-first curriculum
where students are introduced to a variety of topics in
Computer Science (see Sanders and Mueller [5] for
details). As part of the course the students are
expected to come to terms with a number of basic
algorithms and data structures which they are required
to implement. When the curriculum was designed we chose
Scheme as the implementation language. One reason for
doing so was because the main entrance requirement for
our course is a solid mathematics background as
evidenced by good marks at school level. Our students
thus have a good understanding of functions and we felt
that Scheme?s functional style would make it accessible
to all of our students. Another reason for choosing
Scheme was because it is a language which would be new
to all of our students. Scheme was well received by
those students who had never programmed before and
proved to be a good language for meeting our teaching
objectives but there was resistance to the language
from the students who could already program as they
considered it a waste of time to learn a language which
was not (as they believed) used in the real world [3].
In addition, the use of Scheme did not really reduce
the performance gap between the students with and
without prior programming experience [2]. Python has
been found to be a good first language for both
experienced and inexperienced users [4] and its simple
syntax and support of different programming paradigms
seemed to make it an attractive option for our first
year course. We believed that using Python would still
allow us to meet our educational objectives ? it would
be easily accessible to those students who had never
programmed before and would support our approach of
formulating algorithms Python has been found to be a
good first language for both experienced and
inexperienced users [4] and its simple syntax and

We believed that using Python would still allow us to
meet our educational objectives ? it would be easily
accessible to those students who had never programmed
before and would support our approach of formulating
algorithms In late 2007 we did a survey to assess the
first year students? impressions of Python. The
students were asked to indicate agreement, disagreement
or neutrality to a number of questions about the use of
Python. 55 students completed the survey ? 27 of these
had no prior programming experience and 28 had
programmed before. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was
used to test the hypotheses that both groups believed
that Python was a good first year language. The results
show strong evidence that the students feel that Python
is a suitable language. There are. however, still some
students with prior programming experience who are
resistant to new languages.",

abstract = "Guiding theme of the ongoing reformation movement of
the education system in Germany catalyzed by the OECD
Programme for International Student Assessment is
standardization. Educational standards are developed
for all grades of school up to university level with a
focus on the core subjects, reading, mathematics and
scientific literacy [1]. Starting basis for the
elaboration of standards are competence models, where
competence is conceived according to Weinert [2] as ``a
roughly specialized system of abilities, proficiencies,
or individual dispositions to learn something
successfully, to do something successfully, or to reach
a specific goal.'' As for computer science education,
most of the existing approaches to competence models
are of pragmatical nature, based on years of teaching
experience. Although plausible and well thought out
most of these models neither are concerted nor
verified. This research work introduces a methodology
of constructing a competence model from exercise
characteristics by means of empirical statistical
analysis. Exemplified by theoretical computer science
in secondary education, it is exposed how hypotheses on
the dimensional structure of a competence model are
theoretically founded and empirically verified. The
proceeding roughly breaks down into five steps. First
step is the identification and classification of the
characterizing attributes of task difficulty.
``Characteristics'' may be the closeness to the
student?s realm of experience, the level of abstraction
or complexity of the content, the level of
formalization or redundancy of the task setting, or the
level of cognitive process. Second step is the
generation of hypotheses on the dimensional structure
of a competence model, based on classification of the
characteristics. For this purpose, the attributes are
bundled to theoretically homogeneous groups according
to criteria like ``concerning the task setting, the
curricular content or the learner activity''. It is
postulated that each competence dimension is composed
of one group of characteristics, just as spectral
colors are combined from primary colors. Step three is
the implementation of an empirical study to gather
empirical data on students? abilities along the
characteristics. Step four is a statistical data
analysis in order to verify the dimensional structure.
Factor analysis appears to be an appropriate
statistical technique for analyzing the correlations
between the characteristics and bundle them to a small
number of underlying dimensions, called factors. Since
a factor shows, e.g., large correlation with the
characteristic level of formalization and medium
correlation with the characteristic redundancy of the
task setting, it may be interpreted as their common
factor, describing the portion of task difficulty
emerging from the task setting. As step five it is
proposed to cluster the competence profiles, referring
to the factors. Typical competence profiles resulting
from cluster analysis may be expressed in terms of
characteristics to provide an individual competence
diagnosis that is both meaningful and comprehensible.
The following two examples are profiles of minimum and
maximum competence level, to be fulfilled by every
student (a) and to be attained only by high performing
students (b) respectively: (a) The learners model a
course of action close to their realm of experience
(e.g., traffic lights) by using automata. If textually
specified, algorithms are recalled and properly
applied. (b) The learners model a problem beyond their
experience (e.g., syntax check of arithmetic
expressions) by using automata. Even if formally
specified, problems are analyzed and appropriate
algorithms are created.",

investigates low energy (0 --- 500 eV) plasma in the
Earth's magnetosphere, especially in the polar regions.
It is part of NASA's larger POLAR mission. Shortly
after the POLAR spacecraft was in orbit, TIDE's mass
spectrometer functionality failed. However, data from
other instruments can be used to create energy vs. time
spectrograms. The number of peaks in these spectrograms
relates to the composition of the plasma, so
determining the number of peaks in the spectrogram
effectively regains the mass spectrometer
functionality. Kohonen self-organized maps (SOMs,) a
type of neural network, are particularly suited to this
problem due to the amount of data that needs to be
analyzed and the algorithm's ability to find patterns
within data. The algorithm leads to clustering of
similar data points on the map. Ultimately, the
location of the input data point on the map allows for
determination of how many peaks the data point
contains, and thus the composition of the plasma at
that time. The SOM correctly classified 99\% of the
input data, making it a viable solution to the problem.
Further research is planned, namely the possibility of
extending this concept to investigate energetic neural
atom (ENA) images in order to determine the source of
these atoms.",

questions in Information Systems education is the role
of programming in undergraduate IS programs. On one
hand, there are strong arguments and precedents
supporting not only the inclusion of programming in
these programs but also a significant role for it. For
example, both the most recent model curriculum (IS
2002) and many existing undergraduate IS programs
include a significant programming component. IS 2002
incorporates a programming course with a highly complex
name reflecting the ambiguity about the focus of the
course (``Programming, Data, File, and Object
Structures,'') but it also includes two additional
courses that have significant programming components
(``Physical Design and Implementation with DBMS'' and
``Physical Design and Implementation in Emerging
Environments''). The ``Analysis and Logical Design''
course is directly connected to application
development/programming. A closer evaluation of the
course descriptions reveals a very ambitious agenda;
the topics include items such as ``programming in
traditional and visual environments that incorporate
event-driven, object-oriented design,'' ``algorithm
development,'' ``program correctness, verification, and
validation,'' ``structured and object design
approaches,'' and ``structured, event driven, and
object oriented application design.'' This choice of
wording, which is practically unchanged from IS'97,
signifies a strong commitment to developing the
students' programming and software development
capabilities. In addition, the general criteria for
accrediting undergraduate computing programs (including
those in information systems) clearly include
programming activities (3 (c)) ``The program enables
students to achieve, by the time of graduation, \ldots{} an
ability to design, implement, and evaluate a
computer-based system, process, component, or program

something that can be used in their own courses. This
working group report proposes a common format for
packaging assignments for sharing. This format is easy
for instructors to create (requiring no specialized
tools), is extensible and flexible enough to handle
assignments written for any programming language at any
level of proficiency, supports appropriate metadata,
and is easily manipulated by software tools. As more
and more instructors use automated grading tools to
process student submissions, it is our hope that such
an interchange format can lead to a community practice

in place of traditional lectures to achieve this. The
process focuses on observing the application of
programming techniques, observing problem solving
techniques and then applying cooperative problem
solving exercises in the classroom. The results from
this change in teaching methodology have been an
increase in attendance rates at lectures and practical
sessions as well as improved learning outcomes as
measured by exam results. Student experience surveys
show students have greater motivation for learning and

presents results from an exploratory study of two
different instructional approaches that were
encountered in a study of experienced human tutors
working with novice computing students engaged in a
programming exercise. No difference in average learning
gains was found between a moderate approach, in which
students were given control of problem solving nearly
half the time, and a proactive approach in which the
tutor took initiative nearly three-fourths of the time.
Implications of this finding for fine-grained

to differentiate themselves. The ACM suggests that
there are five distinct computing disciplines ---
Computer Science (CS), Information Technology (IT),

that there can be extensive overlap between these
disciplines. For example, IS is defined by the ACM as
computing in an organization context, typically in
business while IT is defined as focusing on computing
infrastructure and needs of individual users. If each
of the different types of programs wishes to identify
and attract interested students, it is important to
understand if students perceive differences between
them. This paper presents the results of a survey to
determine if students differentiate between these five
disciplines. Computing majors and non-majors were
presented with several task descriptions commonly
associated with each discipline and asked to identify
them as belonging to one of the five disciplines. Data
was collected from over 300 students at several
different institutions and from a variety of different
majors and computing disciplines. The results of the
survey are presented along with comparisons of the
perceptions of majors and non-majors.",

representative subset of the education community could
engage in direct dialogue with the members of the ACM
Education Board and Education Council, who are charged
with developing educational policy for the ACM as a
whole. Last year, we extended that dialogue and
explored concrete strategies for emphasizing the
``passion, beauty, joy, and awe'' (PBJA) of computing
about which Grady Booch spoke so eloquently in his 2007
keynote address. The extremely positive feedback we
received served as motivation to continue the
discussion this year, to allow us to hear from new
voices and receive updates on the current state of the
crisis. It is increasingly clear that students today
find less joy in the process of creating software than
their predecessors did a generation ago. At the same
time, these skills have become increasingly important,
forcing companies to cast an ever widening net in their
search for people with the necessary skills and
training. Continued progress in the computing
disciplines--and indeed the economic health of a
society that relies increasingly on computing
technology--can continue only if we can encourage an
even larger number of students to pursue the many
opportunities that careers in computing provide.",

class time to bring about desired learning outcomes.
Instead of listening to a lecture, students are engaged
in tasks that allow them to discover new knowledge, or
apply what they have just learned. A barrier to wide
usage of active-learning exercises is the need to
design them, since few are available in textbooks,
technical papers, or on the Web. The work reported in
this paper demonstrates that students can design
active-learning exercises that are worthy of being used
in CS1 and CS2. This frees the instructor from having
to write all the exercises him/herself. This paper
makes three contributions: a methodology for creating
student-generated active-learning exercises, several
exercises for teaching difficult concepts in CS1 and
CS2, and guidance about the kinds of active-learning
exercises that students will enjoy and learn most
from.",

selective universities and colleges have worked within
their student populations to increase major
enrollments, while CS departments at comprehensive
public universities primarily focused on regional
recruiting have also worked to identify and increase CS

Seattle is also surprisingly flexible and supports a

grid computing, peer-to-peer networking, distributed

Students' code can run across different operating
systems and architectures without change, while the

We report results on a CS2 class which had a mixture of

course. The CS2 class covered the same topics as
previously, though with some changes, and even gave the
same final exam as a previous offering. Independent
samples t-tests were used to compare students from the
Python group with students from the non-Python group on
three outcomes: final exam grade, programming projects
scores, and final grade for the course. The main result
was that there were no significant differences between
the groups for all three outcomes. In addition,
multiple regression analysis showed that students' past
performance (overall GPA) in the University predicted
final grades, final exam scores, and programming
project scores for the course, but there was no effect
of the programming language feature: Python or
non-Python. We feel this shows that the Python-based

for more testing in computer science curricula.
Test-driven development (TDD) has been proposed as a
solution to improve testing in academia. This paper
demonstrates how TDD can be integrated into existing
course materials without reducing topic coverage. Two
controlled experiments were conducted in a CS1/CS2
course in Winter 2008. Following a test-driven learning
approach, unit testing was introduced at the beginning
of the course and reinforced through example. Results
indicate that while student work loads may increase
with the incorporation of TDD, students are able to
successfully develop unit tests while learning to

intention to persist in the computer science major. The
findings can be used to make decisions about

student characteristics and perceptions were developed
using the research-based Student Experience of the
Major Survey: student-student interaction;
student-faculty interaction; collaborative learning
opportunities; pace/workload/prior experience with
programming; teaching assistants; classroom
climate/pedagogy; meaningful assignments; and
racism/sexism. A linear regression revealed that
student-student interaction was the most powerful
predictor of students' intention to persist in the
major beyond the introductory course. Other factors
predicting intention to persist were
pace/workload/prior experience and male gender. The
findings suggest that computer science departments
interested in increasing retention of students set
structured expectations for student-student interaction
in ways that integrate peer involvement as a mainstream
activity rather than making it optional or
extracurricular. They also suggest departments find
ways to manage programming experience gaps in CS1.",

to student needs in meeting curriculum requirements,
offering the course at a time convenient for athletes

Unfortunately, the term abstract data type has over

Thinking (CT) as a formative skill on par with reading,
writing, and arithmetic places computer science in the
category of basic knowledge. Just as proficiency in
basic language arts helps us to effectively communicate
and in basic math helps us to successfully quantitate,
proficiency in computational thinking helps us to
systematically and efficiently process information and
tasks. But while teaching everyone to think
computationally is a noble goal, there are pedagogical
challenges. Perhaps the most confounding issue is the
role of programming, and whether we can separate it
from teaching basic computer science. How much
programming, if any, should be required for CT
proficiency? We believe that to successfully broaden
participation in computer science, efforts must be made
to lay the foundations of CT long before students
experience their first programming language. We posit
that programming is to Computer Science what proof
construction is to mathematics, and what literary
analysis is to English. Hence by analogy, programming
should be the entrance into higher CS, and not the
student's first encounter in CS. We argue that in the
absence of programming, teaching CT should focus on
establishing vocabularies and symbols that can be used
to annotate and describe computation and abstraction,
suggest information and execution, and provide notation
around which mental models of processes can be built.
Lastly, we conjecture that students with sustained
exposure to CT in their formative education will be
better prepared for programming and the CS curriculum,
and, furthermore, that they might choose to major in CS
not only for career opportunities, but also for its
intellectual content.",

senior high school students prefer a conventional

on the other finding the textual environments too

with no programming experience. This environment allows
students to design their own creative stories or
programs. They build their programs using drag-and-drop
iconic blocks, but unlike other, similar icon-based
programming languages, they are also presented with the
syntax of the actual program they are constructing in
real-time. Once a particular icon block has been
dropped in the programming area, the syntax statements
corresponding to that block is immediately generated
and presented to the user. The environment also allows
them to modify the code without any limitations. Our
results show that our textual-graphical hybrid

``Pop'' quizzes generate continual feedback to both the
student and the instructor of the course. They also
encourage students to avoid missing class unless
necessary. We present the results of a three year study
on the effectiveness of ``pop'' quizzes in CS-1. Our
results demonstrate that students who experience
``pop'' quizzes in CS-1 score higher on exams than do
their counterparts who did not experience ``pop''
quizzes. This appears especially true for
upperclassmen, particularly for juniors. The use of
``pop'' quizzes in CS-1 also improves performance on
programming assignments for juniors. CS/IS majors and
Math majors both receive a greater benefit from ``pop''
quizzes than do other non-majors.",

coding practices, and (c) discuss and log issues that
arise. We implemented pedagogical code inspections in

abstract = "For decades, US universities and colleges have had
policies pertaining to the conduct of their students at
the institutional level. These policies are referred to
as Academic Integrity Policies or Codes of Conduct. The
Code of Ethics, instituted by Association of Computing
Machinery (ACM) has been the standard for the computing
sciences profession for over 15 years. However, the
traditional institution-wide academic integrity
policies have not adapted to the complexities that
arose from rapid progress in information technology
(IT) and thus either fail to address or are in conflict
with the nature of problems in computer science
education. In this paper, we propose a model for
development and implementation of an academic ethics
policy (ethics is a broader concept that includes
integrity) that addresses the challenges imposed by
information technology vis-{\'a}-vis the best modern
teaching practices in computer sciences and
engineering. Implementing policies that are more in
line with the methods of industry and compatible with
newer educational pedagogies should make the whole
educational environment more engaging to students.",

simultaneously, this is an opportunity for them to
analyze a problem from multiple perspectives during a

this using a relatively new problem that is easily
stated and has a surprising solution that defies
intuition. In the programming course, students
experienced a design/empirical approach to the problem
by implementing simulations of various solutions and
collecting experimental results. By adjusting the
emphasis of the programming assignment, we show that it
can fit naturally into a range of programming courses,
i.e., courses on introductory programming, data
structures, and object-oriented techniques. In the
Discrete Mathematics course, students analyzed
solutions using tools from counting, probability, and
calculus. We observed that by linking the two courses

paper was to investigate the effectiveness of using
LEGO Mindstorms robotic activities to influence student
motivation in an introductory university computer
programming course. Various aspects relating to student
motivation were measured using the Motivated Strategies
for Learning Questionnaire. Tests revealed no
statistically significant differences between groups in
relation to intrinsic goal orientation, task value,
control of learning beliefs, self-efficacy, and test
anxiety at the alpha = .05 level. The experiment did
detect a statistically significant difference between
groups in relation to extrinsic goal orientation. The
LEGO group, however, showed a larger decrease in levels
of extrinsic goal orientation, suggesting they were
less motivated in learning the material for rewards
such as grades. While this is not necessarily a bad
thing, ideally a decline in extrinsic goal orientation
would be accompanied by a statistically significant
increase in intrinsic goal orientation suggesting
students were instead motivated because they were
interested in the content of the material. This was not
the case in this study. Despite the lack of positive
quantitative results, responses to student follow-up
questions suggest that at least some of the students
enjoyed the LEGO Mindstorms activities. A discussion of
possible factors influencing these results is
provided.",

Character Production and Machinima. These courses
provide an extraordinary applied learning experience
for students to combine learning concepts that are not
commonly taught together. The curriculums are designed
to teach students to breakdown extremely complex
problems, requiring understanding from both
disciplines, into manageable segments that allow easy
understanding of diverse concepts from computer
graphics principles to sculptural ideology and from
graphic algorithms to film/storytelling. It is a
process that provides a direct view of the correlations

research, we now see more summer camps and workshops
being offered to middle school students with the
objective of teaching programming and computer
technology [1, 6, 8, 12]. To offer students a
stimulating and interesting environment while teaching
computing subjects, the learning tools in these camps
usually revolve around robots and graphical programming
of animations or games. These tools tend to mainly
attract youngsters who like robotics or game design.
However, we believe that we can improve the diversity
of the student pool by introducing other topics. In
this paper, we describe our experience in designing and
organizing a programming course that focuses on
wearable computing, fashion and design for middle
school students. We will show that (1) wearable
computing is interesting and inspiring to the students,
(2) wearable computing motivates both boys and girls to
learn technology and computing, which implies that it
may be able to increase the potential computer science
population, (3) wearable computing can provide a space
for students to exercise their creativity while at the
same time, teaching them about technology and
programming.",

abstract = "Although model checking is expected as a practical
formal verification approach for its automatic nature,
it still suffers from difficulties in writing the
formal descriptions to be verified and applying model
checking tools to them effectively. The difficulties
are found mainly in grasping the exact system
behaviors, representing them in formal languages, and
using model checking tools that fit the best to the
verification problems. Even capable software developers
need extensive education to overcome the difficulties.
In this paper, we report our education course of
practical applications of model checking in our
education project called Top SE. Our approach consists
of the following two features. First, we adopt UML as
the design specification language and create the
descriptions for each specific model checking tool from
the UML diagrams, to enable easy practical application
of model checking. Second, we build taxonomies of
system behaviors, in particular behaviors of concurrent
systems that are main targets of model checking. We can
organize the knowledge and the techniques of practical
model checking according to the taxonomies. The
taxonomies are based on several aspects of system
behaviors such as synchronization of transitions,
synchronization of communications, and modeling of
system environments. In addition, we make clear which
model checking tools fit which types of systems. We
treat the three different model checking tools: SPIN,
SMV, and LTSA. Each tool has its specific features that
make the tool easier or more difficult to be applied to
specific problems than others. In our education course,
we explain the taxonomies, the knowledge, and the
techniques using very simple examples. We also assign
the students exercises to apply the knowledge and the
techniques to more complicated problems such as the
dining philosopher problem, data copying between a DVD
recorder and a hard disk recorder, and the alternating
bit protocol.",

consistency, execution and semantics. An historical
survey shows how the concept was developed from its
inception by Rabin \& Scott, Floyd and Dijkstra, as
well the interplay between nondeterminism and
concurrency. Computer science textbooks and pedagogical
software are surveyed to determine how they present the
concept; the results show that the treatment of
nondeterminism is generally fragmentary and
unsystematic. We conclude that the teaching of
nondeterminism must be integrated through the computer

nondeterminism both in terms of abstract mathematical

propose an instructional approach to drive CS courses

driving a CS course adds a pedagogical value to the
classical approach delivering educational resources.
This pedagogical value is supported by applying
instructional methods based on pedagogical patterns to
design specific components of CS courses. The use of
these pedagogical patterns helps to guide the
deployment of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) in CS
courses enabling a connection between the course
requirements and the VLE features. We have evaluated
the proposed approach using an example of VLE called
Poliformat. The evaluation focuses on the platform role
as the road to drive Operating System courses during
the 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08 academic years. The
evaluation results have contributed to a better
understanding of how virtual learning environments can
be used in CS courses and they confirm the benefits of
applying instructional based approaches.",

activities more appealing to the students. In
particular, most of the activities are designed as
on-line programming competitions; they are carried out
by using a web-based automatic evaluation system, the
on-line judge. Experimental results show the high

doubled. Some strategies are used to ensure the

acceptable and unacceptable forms of reuse, mostly at
the design, testing and implementation stages. These

concepts in CS in an entertaining way, without
requiring a computer. Using questionnaires and
interviews, we examined the effect of the activities on
middle-school students' views of CS, specifically, on
their views of: (a) the nature of CS; (b) the
characteristics of computer scientists and work in CS;
(c) the variety of employment in CS. The results
indicate that 'although the students generally
understood what CS is' they perceived the computer as
the essence of CS and not primarily as a tool, contrary
to the intention of the CS Unplugged activities. We
suggest additions to the activities intended to
increase the change in the views of CS that students
have.",

bar to interaction among TFs and students and to
improve the efficiency and convenience of the same.
Rather than rely on email alone, we experimented with
Elluminate, third-party software that not only allowed
students and TFs to chat via IM and VOIP, it also
enabled the latter to see and even share control of the
former's screens (eg, code in students' terminal
windows). Students, in turn, were able to troubleshoot
bugs with TFs by their (virtual) side. We surveyed our
nearly 300 students on their experiences with office
hours, both physical and virtual. Although most
students responded positively to the idea of virtual
office hours, only 55\% logged in at least once.
However, nearly the same number (62\%) attended the
physical. We ultimately judged our virtual office hours
a net positive, with 14\% of students attending the
virtual (and 21\% the physical) ``often.'' But our
experiment was not without some unexpected results. We
found that wait times online sometimes matched or
exceeded those in the physical lab, partly the result
of the software's own shortcomings and students' habits
online. Ultimately, the audience for these virtual
office hours was entirely self-selecting. Those
students who liked the experience online opted in,

out.",

laptop computer with a digitizing screen that interacts
with a complementary electronic pen stylus. The ability
to annotate on a lecture presentation using the pen
stylus of the Tablet PC has attracted the attention of
academics to use them as a potential tool for effective
classroom instruction. Tablet PC based educational
software like Classroom Presenter allows the instructor
to supplement lecture material comprising of static
text-based PowerPoint\reg{} slides by directly
annotating on them. However, computer science and
engineering classes often involve the use of non
text-based lecture material like a simulation demo over
which a lecturer would like to make annotations. In
order to facilitate this, we present a Tablet PC-based
educational tool called WriteOn1.0, the second core
implementation of the WriteOn tool, developed at
Virginia Tech. WriteOn allows the instructor to utilize
electronic ink to annotate on top of any application
window visible on the Tablet PC screen, including those
that play active content like a movie or simulation, by
activating its virtual transparency surface called the
eVellum (electronic vellum).The ability of WriteOn to
improve classroom presentation were pedagogically very
useful as shown by initial classroom testing. However,
in order to deploy WriteOn on large scale in classrooms
as an active and effective teaching tool of choice,
some aspects of the application like its operational
CPU performance and the GUI called for improvement.
WriteOn1.0 addresses the drawbacks of WriteOn with the
introduction of features such as the dynamic eVellum, a
picture-based GUI and an improvement to the operational
CPU performance of the screen capture process. In this
paper, we shall present how WriteOn1.0 can potentially
aid in effective lecturing, especially for subject
matter like programming and digital circuit design,
both of which involve the use of dynamic presentation
material.",

efficacy predict group cohesion significantly in CSCL.
In addition, collective efficacy also showed to predict

Moreover, the results also indicated that both group
cohesion and groups with higher cognitive involvement
in their discussion leaded to better group performance.
In summary, this study validated the social cognitive

groups with higher collective efficacy had stronger

abstract = "In recent years, embedded systems are becoming
increasingly important due to their wide applications
in every aspect of our society. By the year 2010, it is
forecasted that 90\% of the overall program code
developed will be for embedded computing systems. The
rapid growth of embedded systems results in a shortage
of professionals for embedded software development.
Despite the high need of embedded system professionals,
embedded system is currently not well represented in
academic programs. In offering such courses many
schools face the challenges of the lack of suitable and
affordable labs and scarce dedicated staff and faculty.
Suitable embedded software design textbooks are also in
demand. We are developing an interdisciplinary online
junior level course Embedded Systems Analysis and
Design with a companion textbook and labware to meet
the challenge. We know that embedded system design and
development course is a project based learning course
which students must have hands-on lab practice to gain
the experience of hardware and software co-design and
development. How to offer such a course online without
a campus lab? How to make this online course as
effective as an on-campus course? How to make the lab
affordable to the students? How to make the labs a
realistic hands-on lab instead of simulation labs as
many online courses are providing? In this paper we
report our experience in developing such a hands-on lab
based online course. We select the C8051F005DK
development kit from the Silicon Laboratories, Inc. for
our realistic hands-on lab equipment. It is a 25 MIPS
8051 microcontroller with 32K programmable FLASH. Its
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a complete,
standalone software program that provides students with
the Keil software 8051 development tools that provides
students with the excellent hands-on opportunity to
work on the real-world embedded system projects instead
of implementation by simulation only. The uniqueness of
the course model is its portable tiny in-box real-world
equipment labware which can be conducted anywhere
without constraints and its portable labs with infused
state-of-arts technology to inspire creativity and
life-long learning. Students can also gain the
engineering experience and hardware and software
co-design, and code development with real MCU. A
textbook ``Embedded System Software Development''
contracted with Springer publisher will be published in
2010. The book includes all the lab implementations
that are very flexible and convenient for students and
instructors. All teaching and learning materials
including review questions, exercises, and all labs on
this microcontroller kit, and instructor supplemental
materials will be available online. The ``learning by
doing'' pedagogy will promote students' life-lime long
learning skills that students not only practice
pre-designed hands-on labs, but also have opportunity
to design and invent their own small smart embedded
devices. Students will get benefits from the experience
in software engineering life cycle of software
requirements analysis, modeling, design, development,
testing, and integrating the well packed products with
the supported hardware devices. On the other hand,
students can also get electronic engineering discipline
experience such as engineering computation and
schematic engineering.",

assessment in a programming course given by the
Department of Computer Science at Holon Institute of
Technology (HIT). The course was given as a first year
course as part of an engineering degree which
introduces students to programming in C and which
teaches them the basics of the imperative programming
paradigm. About 200 students took the course in Autumn
2009. They were required to submit 3 programming
assignments each of which contained 4 programming
tasks. Most of the assignments were evaluated manually.
Our poster presents our experience with 15 students who
used an automated assessment system to submit one of
their assignments. The system used was Checkpoint [1],
an integrated automated assessment system developed by
the first author, which generates automated feedback
and evaluation for students' work. The system manages
both homework assignments and formal examinations based
on a range of different question types, including
questions requiring free-text answers. It also allows
automatically-generated marks to be manually moderated
and adjusted, with feedback comments from the human
moderator. Checkpoint has been in use since October
2005 at the University of Brighton in the UK for
assessing two first year Java programming modules which
comprise a total of about 150 students annually.
Students at Brighton are required to use Checkpoint to
submit assignments from the very beginning of their
course, and the two end-of-semester formal examinations
are also administered using Checkpoint. The entire
assessment structure is based around the ability to
assess students on a 'little and often' basis, with
assessment deadlines at fortnightly intervals
throughout the year. However, students at Holon have no
prior experience of automated assessment and it has not
been used so far on any other courses within the
institution. The assessment structure is therefore more
traditional and involves fewer but larger assignments.
The experiment reported here was carried out in order
to evaluate the benefits of automated assessment
following earlier work by the second author [2] and
involved automating one of these assignments. The
assignment was offered in two ways: a conventional
manual submission and an automated submission via
Checkpoint. The students were given the choice of
submitting their work via either method. Checkpoint was
modified for this experiment to display the questions
in Hebrew and to support feedback comments in Hebrew
given by the human evaluator as part of the moderation
process. Checkpoint was also modified to support C in
addition to Java since this was the language the
students were required to write their programs. All the
participants, both students and instructors, gave very
positive feedback. The students had all been manually
evaluated in previous assignments and their comments
with regard to the differences were very positive. They
said that the system was impartial and because it
allowed them to submit many attempts before the
deadline it enabled them to improve their programming
skills. It also allowed the instructors to monitor
student progress during the course of the assignment
and to act to correct misconceptions.",

abstract = "The Online Judge (http://icpcres.ecs.baylor.edu) is an
on-line programming trainer created by University of
Valladolid in 1995 with the aim of training users who
participate in programming competitions. Currently this
tool has over 64,000 users from many countries and more
than 2,000 tasks. In 2007 the project ``Integrating
On-line Judge into effective e-learning'', funded by
the European Commission under the Life Long Learning
Programme (grant number
135221-LLP-1-2007-1-ES-KA3-KA3MP), was launched in
order to satisfy the users' demand for greater
pedagogic character and to facilitate the use of the
Online Judge in courses of informatics in higher and
secondary education. The Online Judge has been
maintaining a task database, which can be very useful
for teaching algorithms at various levels. However it
is not easy for teachers to find proper tasks which fit
particular students. At the moment it is possible to
weight task difficulty by the percentage of
participants who provide correct solutions. It is
impossible to find which topics or algorithms are
required to solve tasks. An attempt to classify the
existing tasks by possible solution algorithms was
started by the Online Judge members, using a Wiki
(http://www.algorithmist.com/index.php/Categories).
However the process is ad hoc and needs systematic
revision and analysis. We are providing several schemas
for classification of the tasks: (1) Categories
proposed by task authors, e.g., by providing comments
on the best solution. (2) Categories proposed by the
Online Judge administrators, e.g., length of source
code or time required for solving the task. This type
of classification can only be done by the
administrators as other users do not have any access to
the solutions and statistical data. (3) Categories
proposed by participants ranking the difficulty of
solved tasks. (4) Categories proposed by teachers who
have used the tasks for several years in their courses,
e.g., task topics and difficulty. To make an easier
classification process we propose to develop a set of
keywords or key phrases. Applying these key phrases to
each task will provide more information to users.
Initial set of keywords and key phrases can include:
(1) Theory or algorithms [1] needed to solve the task
(Fig. (1)). Number of Online Judge tasks classified by
algorithms (2) Task difficulty, e.g., involves required
knowledge, no mathematics, basic mathematics, no
algorithms, no data structures, no abstract data
structures, suitable for first year students, correct
algorithm is not obvious, \& (3) Recommending prior
tasks that should be solved first. (4) Task type by
solution output format, e.g., output is unambiguous,
output is ambiguous, output is one number, \& (5) Task
type by source, e.g., Which competition or course
proposed this task? Who is the author?",

abstract = "Student mobility is a priority in the European Union
since it not only allows academic interchange but also
fosters the awareness of being a European citizen
amongst students. The Bologna Process aimed at
homogenizing the structure of the European Universities
to facilitate the recognition of academic titles as
foreseen by the Lisbon Recognition Convention and
student mobility during their matriculation. Over one
and a half million students have already benefited from
mobility programs such as the Erasmus programme.
Students that participate in a mobility program must
consider a destination, a selection of courses to
follow abroad and how their home institution will
recognize their foreign credits. Selecting the most
appropriate courses is not a simple task since a course
title doesn't always reflect its content. As a result,
manual inspection of syllabi is necessary. This makes
the task time-consuming since it might require manual
inspection and comparison of many syllabi from
different institutions. It would be nice to be able to
at least partially automate the process --- i.e., given
a set of syllabi from two different universities, to be
able to automatically find the best match among courses
in the two institutions. We started experimenting with
this possibility, and although we do not yet have final
results we will present the main idea of our project.
Our plan is to try to apply similarity matching
algorithms to available documents. Similarity matching
is often based on co-occurrence of common words.
However, a na{\"\i}ve application of such an algorithm
would probably end up generating spurious similarities
from the co-occurrence of general terms like ``hour,
exercise, exam\ldots{}''. Using a stop-word strategy in
which these words are catalogued and ignored might seem
a viable solution, but generally does not significantly
improve the results: words that may be considered
irrelevant in one context might be important in a
different context. The path we are following is to
assume the existence of a reference ontology, where all
terms have a description, and then try to identify the
occurrence of the concepts existing in the ontology
within the examined documents. In this way we will be
able to state that ``syllabus x deals with topic y''.
The matching between different syllabi would then be
calculated by matching the topics that were associated
with the syllabi. We decided to focus on the Computer
Science domain since the domain has already been
classified into areas, units and topics present in
CC2001[1] and this ontology has already been mapped
into XML structures[2]. We then used a similarity
matching algorithm that uses Wikipedia as a reference
corpus[3]. Although preliminary results are not yet
fully satisfactory, we believe that this might result
from working at the word level rather than at a concept
level; ``software engineering'' is not just the
co-occurrence of ``software'' and ``engineering'' but a
more complex concept. We are therefore currently
exploring the possibility of identifying multi-words as
concepts (still by using Wikipedia as a reference to
decide if this is the case or not). If our attempts are
successful, the next step will be to
(semi-)automatically crawl academic sites to identify
curricula and automatically match them by using our
algorithm.",

for Middle School and High School Students, also known
as Musicomputation (http://musicomputation.com/) was a
highly successful course sponsored by the National
Science Foundation (IIS-0834034) and first held in June
2008 at New York University. Two NYU professors and two
doctoral candidates developed curriculum, gave
lectures, and supervised labs introducing computer
science and computer music to students aged 12-17. Our
hypothesis was that it is easier to learn computer
science when the data you are modeling and the problems
you are solving belong to a domain that you know well
and love. During the project, students progressed far
beyond the instructors' expectations, quickly absorbing
computer science concepts that even college students
often find difficult. For the pilot study, we recruited
11 students with at least five years of background in
music from the Juilliard School's Precollege Division,
Stuyvesant High School, the NYC-area home-schooling
community, and the previous participant lists of
cSplash (a yearly event at the Courant Institute at NYU
where graduate students and professors teach one- to
three-hour classes in computer science and mathematics
to students in grades 6-12). About half of the students
in Musicomputation had some programming experience,
with three of them finishing their year of AP Computer
Science at the time of the course. All 11 students were
highly motivated and had high levels of expertise in
both mathematics and music. Thus, the success of our
class was in part due to the fact that we had recruited
very good students. Musicomputation covered computer
science basics such as the logical design of computers,
formal language theory, sorting algorithms, variables,
control structures and a sampling of how the same
concepts can be represented in different computer
languages. Algorithms and patterns used in certain
pieces of contemporary music (Morton Feldman's Triadic
memories and Steve Reich's Clapping Music) were also
covered in the class, as were the basics of
representing sound electronically. Students were taught
the programming language Processing
(http://www.processing.org/), an open source project
based on Java that easily enables immediate visual
feedback. We also used Processing for simple music
composition, as well as discussing other languages used
for music, such as SuperCollider and ChucK. The
students produced many programs, both graphical and
audible, culminating in final projects which produce
music and are downloadable from the Musicomputation
website. The interdisciplinary nature of the class
helped show the students why computer science is both
important and basic to their future development,
whether they choose to go into a mathematical or
scientific field or continue to develop their musical
and artistic talents. To share the exciting
developments from the course, the poster displays some
of the more visual work that the students created
through the use of Processing, such as a fractal
assignment to implement recursion and a randomized
algorithm that explores the properties of the equation
for a circle. It also includes some evidence (in the
form of code snippets and discussion) of the
revelations in basic programming concepts that students
made over the course of their time learning about
computer science, including both the simplification and
potential expansion of music composition code that can
come about with the discovery of iteration and
recursion.",

abstract = "Problem-tracing questions are popular among teachers
of various programming languages. In an assessment mode
these questions allows to evaluate student knowledge of
language semantics. In a self-assessment mode, they
provide an excellent learning tool. A 2004 ITiCSE
working group report [4] stressed the importance of
this type of questions to build foundation of
higher-level knowledge. Yet the use of problem-tracing
questions is still limited due to a large authoring
overhead. To resolve this bottleneck, we explored the
idea of parameterized question generation [2]. We
developed QuizPACK [1], a system which can generate
parameterized problem-tracing questions for C
programming language. We also developed QuizGuide [1],
a personalized guidance system for QuizPACK, which
models student knowledge and guides students
individually to most appropriate questions to try. The
results of our studies demonstrated that QuizPACK
strongly benefits student knowledge and that QuizGuide
personalized guidance technology increased student
ability to answer questions correctly and encouraged
them to use the system more extensively (which, in
turn, positively impacted their knowledge) [1].
However, parameterized questions in area of C
programming were not as diverse from the complexity
point of view as parameterized questions explored in
other areas such as physics [2]. As a result, it was
left unclear whether personalized guidance technology
can successfully guide students to a broader range of
questions from relatively simple to very difficult. The
work reported in this poster expands our work on
parameterized questions to a more sophisticated domain
of object-oriented Java programming, which allowed us
to introduce questions of much broader. Capitalizing on
our experience with QuizPACK, we developed QuizJET
(Java Evaluation Toolkit), which supports authoring,
delivery, and evaluation of parameterized questions for
Java [3]. We also implemented JavaGuide system (Figure
1), which provides personalized guidance for QuizJET
questions. We assessed the impact of adaptive
navigation support to student work with questions of
different complexity as well as the impact of this
technology on weaker and stronger students. The results
of two classroom studies indicate that personalized
guidance encouraged students to use parameterized
questions more extensively and also helped them to
access right questions at the right time. Students were
2.5 times more likely to answer a quiz correctly with
personalized guidance than without such it. In
addition, we found that personalized guidance
especially benefited weak students to achieve scores
comparable with the scores of strong students on each
complexity level of questions.",

focal areas of the ACM/IEEE's Computer Science
Curriculum update in 2008. This ACM/IEEE report
describes, as the first of its three recent trends,
``the emergence of security as a major area of
concern.'' The importance of Information Assurance and
Information Assurance education is not limited to the
United States. Other nations, including the United
Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and other
members from NATO countries and the EU, have inquired
as to how they may be able to establish Information
Assurance education programs in their own country. The
goal of this document is to explore the space of
various existing Information Assurance educational
standards and guidelines, and how they may serve as a
basis for helping to define the field of Information
Assurance. It was necessary for this working group to
study what has been done for other areas of computing.
For example, computer science (CS 2008 and
associate-degree CS 2009), information technology (IT
2008), and software engineering (SE 2004), all have
available curricular guidelines. In its exploration of
existing government, industry, and academic Information
Assurance guidelines and standards, as well as in its
discovery of what guidance is being provided for other
areas of computing, the working group has developed
this paper as a foundation, or a starting point, for
creating an appropriate set of guidelines for
Information Assurance education. In researching the
space of existing guidelines and standards, several
challenges and opportunities to Information Assurance
education were discovered. These are briefly described
and discussed, and some next steps suggested.",

for cognitive skill acquisition. Students as well as
teachers rank examples as important resources for
learning to program. Therefore examples must be

find or develop objectoriented example programs of high
quality. Common examples are often perceived as not
fully faithful to all principles and guidelines of the
object-oriented paradigm, or as not following general
pedagogical principles and practices. Unless students
are able to engage with good examples, they will not be
able to tell desirable from undesirable properties in
their own and others' programs. In this paper we report
on a study in which experienced educators reviewed a
wide range of object-oriented examples for novices from
popular textbooks. This review was accomplished using
an on-line checklist that elicited responses on 10
quality factors. Results show that the evaluation
instrument provides a sufficiently consistent set of
responses to distinguish examples. The paper then goes
on to examine some of the characteristics of good and
bad examples and how this study will influence the
