Western Canadian ConferenceonComputing Education |
Conference Objectives
The Western Canadian Conference on Computing Education is a forum for disseminating information pertaining to the development and delivery of programs and courses in computer science, computer technology, and information systems in general. The conference brings together university and college educators along with industrial partners and government officials who have an interest in the instruction of computer related courses. It is designed for all educators who are involved in the evolution of computing education.
If you are effectively using unique methods to teach a computer related topic, this is the place to share your approach. If you have successfully adopted a new tool or technology in your computer related courses or labs, this is the place to brag about it. If you have developed a tool that improves instruction quality for your courses, this is the place to demonstrate it. Even if you have tried methods or tools in your instruction with little success, we are still eager to hear about it. Your experience will help us all.
The conference is soliciting papers, posters and demonstrations in a wide range of topics including the following:
 | Post secondary programs and curricula |
| New or experimental curricula at any level |
| Teaching methods or tools for specific concepts or courses |
| Materials for specific concepts or courses |
| General methods and tools for computer related courses |
| Methods, tools and effective structures of designing and teaching computer labs |
| Applications for distance and/or distributed learning |
| Multimedia applications for computer education |
