CSERC 2012 - Computer Science Education Research Conference (CSERC'2012)

Computer Science Education Research Conference (CSERC'2012)
Wrocław, Poland, September 9-12, 2012
Computer Science Education Research Conference (CSERC'2012) aims at creating a platform for researchers in the field of computer science education. Over the years it has become clear that there is a need for more fundamental knowledge about and input into computer science education. To contribute to this, last year CSERC'2011 has been organized in Heerlen, Netherlands, annex to a Dutch Conference for Computer Science Teachers, NIOC'11. CSERC'2012 is intended to be, like CSERC, in cooperation with ACM's Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE, pending approval). Because of the truly international mission of CSERC we aim at locating this conference in different counties, and FedCSIS 2012 obviously is an excellent opportunity.
