WISEA 2020 is an interactive workshop held in conjunction with the 32nd International Conference on Software Engineering Education & Training (CSEE&T 2020), with the primary purpose of gathering, discussing, and synthesizing best practices for providing effective software-engineering assignments. For this workshop, software-engineering assignment refers to any hands-on experience that involves multiple software-development activities, e.g., analysis, design, testing, configuration management, etc., and not just coding.  A software-engineering assignment can be a course project, homework assignment, or in-class exercise; it can be an individual or group assignment; and it may be of any size or duration.

Attendance at the workshops is open to all, but those who plan to attend are encouraged to submit either a position paper or a short experience report in response to this CFP.  Selected papers will published in the proceedings of CSEE&T 2020.

See http://wasee.org for more details.
