First SPoP Workshop

The first SPoP workshop was held

Tuesday, 28 September 2004 in Copenhagen
(IT University Copenhagen)
time: 12:00 - 18:00

At this workshop, the SPoP Network was established.

Images from the workshop are here.

Following is the text from the call for participation:

The main aim of this workshop is to establish the group, getting to
know each other, and inform each other about work each of us has been
doing so far. We also plan to discuss and set directions for future
goals of the network.

To this end, we invite contributions to the workshop. Contributions
should be short (10 to 15 minutes) presentations of relevant work, that
you would like your colleagues to be aware of.

'Relevant work' are reports about any successful teaching and/or
pedagogical practice/projects/experiments/tools/other work that have
contributed to increasing the quality of the teaching of programming.
At this stage, we would like to restrict it to established relevant work
that has already proven successful, leaving new research ideas for
another time in the future.

If you like to contribute, we ask you to send us a one-page abstract of
your contribution. After presentation of the projects at the workshop,
we plan to publish a selection of the contributions in book form. The
book is intended to have the theme "Best practices in programming
education in Scandinavia".

Whether you want to contribute a presentation to the workshop or not,
whether you want to participate in the publication of the book or not,
we would be glad to see you at the workshop and help strengthen the
new network and our field.

If you have come this far on this rather longish page, you are
obviously quite keen -- very good! We would like to ask you to

• tell us if you are interested at all in participating in the
  workshop; (let us know if you intend to contribute a presentation;
  we will ask for an abstract by mid September, but a one line note
  is enough for now.)
• tell us also if you cannot attend the workshop, but are
  interested in participating in the Pedagogy Network;
• tell other people about you know who seem to fit the
  profile (computing people with a strong interest in programming
  pedagogy) about this workshop.

You are welcome to contact us with any questions you may have.

Best regards, and we hope to see many of you at the workshop!
