Interest in computer science is growing. As a result, computer science (CS) and related departments are experiencing an explosive increase in undergraduate enrollments and unprecedented demand from other disciplines for learning computing. According to the 2014 CRA Taulbee Survey, the number of undergraduates declaring a computing major at Ph.D. granting departments in the US has increased 60% ...

In 1959 in Cuba, there was little knowledge regarding modern computing; the educational offerings at the university level were not enough and the diversity was low. Currently, this environment has changed completely obtaining levels over world average standards.

The prosperous development of wireless communication and sensor technologies has attracted the attention of researchers from both computer and education fields. Various investigations have been made for applying the new technologies to education purposes, such that more active and adaptive learning activities can be conducted in the real world. Nowadays, ubiquitous learning (u-learning) has bec...

We present an introduction to security incident encountered by academic institutions and follow up with our approach to user education by infusing information disclosure incidents in two courses laying at the extremes of the computer science curriculum: a General Education Introduction to Computing and an Advanced Topics Information Security course. The choice of the two courses is such that, w...

Literature suggests that existing learning management systems should be extended to integrate learning activities that aim at enhancing comprehension of students in Computer Science education. Therefore, literature has proposed Computing Augmented Learning Management System (CALMS) that meets the needs of online Computer Science education. However, it’s unclear the current state of architecture...

Computer science is a relatively young but important discipline in both secondary and post-secondary education. This paper describes the design and preliminary implementation of a regional teacher professional development program for computing teachers: the Disciplinary Commons for Computing Educators (DCCE). The main goal of DCCE is to build a vibrant community of computing teachers, where tea...

There has been a decline in the number of students studying mathematics, science and computing at third-level in Ireland. This may be because Ireland does not have a computing curriculum. However, in the UK higher education computing students fell in spite of the existence of such curriculum. According to teachers, student engagement and having a fun and exciting experience are essential ingred...

Information technology (IT) education and the industry continue to be male dominated and less women are entering computing courses at the university level. Research into gender and IT suggests that this is partly due to the masculine meanings generally ascribed to computing. Earlier research by authors of this paper (Greenhill, v. Hellens, Nielsen and Pringle, 1996a, 1996b) indicates that despi...
