The Australasian Computing Education Conference (ACE) is a conference on research and innovation in computing education in its various aspects, at all levels and in all contexts.

Topics of interest for the conference include, but are not limited to:

    the use of technology in computing education;
    course content;
    curriculum structure;
    methods of assessment;
    mobile, flexible, online learning and
    evaluations of alternative approaches.

Papers on research and innovation may be in the context of formal courses or self-directed learning; they may involve, for example, introductory programming, service courses, capstone courses, specialist undergraduate or postgraduate topics, and industry-related short courses. We welcome submissions directed at issues of current and local importance, as well as topics of international interest. Such topics may include transition from school to university, articulation between vocational and university education, quality management in teaching, teaching people from other cultures, globalisation, attracting and retaining female students, online, mobile and blended learning.

The Program Committee will select the papers to appear based on their potential to enhance learning outcomes in computing courses. All papers will be fully refereed using a double blind reviewing process. Papers must be between 4 and 10 pages long. For detailed instructions on the required format, see the Paper Submissions page.
