Theme

This quarter we're focusing on the intersection of the HCI and CS education/educational technology communities. We'll read papers from CHI, ASSETS, and related conferences with an educational spin.

In general, CSE590ED is a very open group meeting for the Computer Science Education and Educational Technology group where we read papers from our discipline, talk about CSE and ET issues, relate research and teaching experiences, and get all fired up about doing that study/writing that paper/graduating!!!!

The related CSE590ET seminar is a more practically oriented seminar on computer science education and educational technology issues.
