Abstract

It is with great pleasure that we are able to bring you this volume of the ITiCSE 2010 Working Group reports. Working groups have been an important part of the ITiCSE conference since its inception 15 years ago.

In 2010 we received 10 working group proposals and were able to accept eight groups which we believe was a good representation of the breadth and depth of computing education and would be of value to the greater computer science education community. During the early part of 2010 the eight working groups were formed with participants from all around the world, they worked electronically on their particular topics until meeting immediately prior to and during the 2010 ITiCSE conference which was held in Ankara, Turkey

At the conclusion of the conference the working groups then produced their first draft report, had a further month to refine them and then produce the final draft. All reports were then blind refereed by at least three reviewers specifically chosen for their expertise in the subject area of the report. The reports were then updated and are now finally published in this volume.

Working groups are a great opportunity to work with colleagues from many different countries on topics of interest to us all and provide an international perspective on these topics. In 2010 there were 49 participants from 14 countries.

It was a great pleasure to work with all the leaders and participants of the working groups and we believe the high standard and expertise of these reports will be of interest and benefit to the international Computer Science Education community.
