In recent years a wide range of tools and applications have been developed for supporting Computer Science Education, ranging from physical devices to visual programming languages and web applications. Individual and cooperative learning processes must be supported in a complex scenario in which learners have different education levels, motivations, and expectations. In this setting technological solutions play a central role in modeling user needs and in providing personalized support to improve the effectiveness and satisfaction of learning experiences.
The workshop aims at bringing together researchers, practitioners and education stakeholders to discuss challenges and future directions on adaptation and personalization in Computer Science Education.
The workshop topics of interest are related to computer-assisted personalization applications and aspects of computer science education, while targeting single or multiple stakeholders. In particular, we encourage the submission of papers with research ideas, concrete case-studies, discussion of practical experiences or course/study curriculum/lab activities.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
All submissions must be written in English. We expect authors, PC, and the organizing committee to adhere to the ACM’s Conflict of Interest Policy and the ACM’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. Authors should use the ACM SIG Standard (SIGCONF) proceedings template. Papers should be submitted as PDF files to Easychair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=apcse2020. Please be aware that at least one author per paper needs to register and attend the workshop to present the work.
The following four types submission are welcome:
- Full papers (6-8 pages) should be clearly placed with respect to the state of the art and state the contribution of the proposal in the domain of application, even if presenting preliminary results. In particular, research papers should describe the methodology in detail, experiments should be repeatable, and a comparison with the existing approaches in the literature should be made.
- Short papers (4 pages) should introduce new point of views in the workshop topics or summarize the experience of a researcher or a group in the field. Practice and experience reports should present in detail real-world scenarios in which personalization is employed.
- Demo papers (2 pages) should present a prototype or an application. The systems will be shown at the workshop.
- Position papers (2 pages) should include a brief introduction followed by a comprehensive breakdown of your position on the topics of interest of the workshop.
