All accepted papers and abstracts (except student poster abstracts) are published in the Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges, which is included in the ACM Digital Library.
Papers are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers are presented at the conference. The acceptance rate for papers has been about 50%. Papers must not exceed a length of six single spaced pages. Instructions for submitting papers
A panel consists of generally three to five participants, preferably from multiple institutions, who present diverse perspectives on a topic related to computer science education, typically describing a variety of viewpoints or experiences. Panels are held during a 75-minute conference session, and presentations should be kept to a length that allows about a third of the time to be devoted to discussion among panelists and with the audience. Panel abstracts must not exceed the length of two single spaced pages. Instructions for submitting panels
A demo provides an opportunity to present a pedagogical tool, a class activity, or courseware that support learning in computing. These will have 10-minute presentations that describe the item and experiences using it, as well as a quick demo. Demo abstracts must not exceed a length of two single spaced pages. Instructions for submitting demos
A tutorial involves instruction rather than discussion. Tutorials are 75 minutes long and are held during one of the conference sessions. A tutorial presenter is an "expert" in the field. Proposals will clearly indicate if the content is intended for novices or for more experienced attendees. Tutorial abstracts must not exceed a length of two single spaced pages. Instructions for submitting tutorials
A workshop is more in-depth than a tutorial. Preferably, it involves active learning activities (hands-on or "pen-and-paper" exercises). The presenter is an "expert" in the field. Workshops are usually 3 hours long, and are held before the conference. Workshop abstracts must not exceed a length of two single spaced pages. Instructions for submitting workshops
A poster presentation on work in progress provides an opportunity to receive feedback on the project. A poster on finished work offers a chance for more extensive discussion than a paper presentation affords. We invite both types of posters, which may be on any of the kinds of topics that are also appropriate for a paper. Faculty poster abstracts must not exceed a length of two single spaced pages. Instructions for submitting faculty posters
Undergraduate posters are presentations on research projects. Undergraduate student posters abstracts must not exceed a length of two single spaced pages. Instructions for submitting undergraduate posters
