2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
ICPEC - 4th International Computer Programming Education Conference
Media Arts and Design School (ESMAD), Polytechnic of Porto
Vila do Conde, Portugal
26-28 June 2023
Computer programming is a fascinating area, but at the same time, complex. In the teaching-learning process, teachers face many difficulties to find techniques and methodologies to facilitate the learning of programming languages and to foster problem-solving skills. At the same time, students find it difficult to understand the subjects and do not feel motivated to continue pursuing their studies and get good grades.
ICPEC aims to be a space participated by teachers and researchers to discuss topics that promote new methodologies, best practices, trends, techniques and tools to improve the teaching-learning process of computer programming.
Topics of Interest
We encourage everyone to submit novel and innovative work in areas including but not limited to:
Computer programming languages, analytics and standardization
- Programming language concepts and methodologies;
- Programming exercises standards and specifications;
- E-learning data analytics;
- Learning Objects (SCORM, IEEE LOM, IMS CC, etc.)
- Learning cloud services;
- Data and graph visualization languages.
Computer programming environments, tools, and services
- Learning Management Systems;
- Massive Open Online Courses;
- Repositories of programming exercises;
- Intelligent Tutors;
- Automatic assessment and evaluation tools;
- Plagiarism tools.
Computing programmes, curricula, and courses
- E-learning and B-learning in computer programming courses;
- Programming languages teaching methods;
- Developing, implementing, or evaluating computing programmes, curricula, and courses;
- Pedagogical strategies to foster learning in computer education
- Social and global challenges in computing education.
Innovative use of technologies
- Micro-learning;
- Digital Credentials and Open Badges;
- Gamification and Game-based learning;
- Immersive environments and metaverse;
- Learning tools interoperability (IMS LTI, xAPI, LRS, CMI, etc.)
