CS 2018 - Workshop on CS Education Infrastructure for All: Interoperability for Tools and Data Analytics

The workshop will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, USA on Wednesday,
February 21 in conjunction with SIGCSE 2018.
This is the second workshop of SPLICE community (Standards, Protocols,
and Learning Infrastructure for Computing Education) organized in
association with NSF-supported project Community-Building and
Infrastructure Design for Data-Intensive Research in Computer Science
Education. More information about SPLICE could be found at
http://cssplice.org and more information about the workshop
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together CSEd researchers,
data scientists, and learning scientists who are interested to
contribute to the joint effort of designing and building an
infrastructure for data-intensive research in CSEd. CSEd
infrastructure should support (1) broader re-use of innovative
learning content that is instrumented for rich data collection, (2)
formats and tools for analysis of learner data, and (3) development of
best practices to make collections of learner data available to
researchers. The workshop focus will be on how our tools can better
interoperate, and how we can share both data and analysis tools to
improve educational research efforts across the discipline and beyond.
We will report progress to date, present initial reports from working
groups, and plan activities for the coming year.
