Welcome to the Computing Education Research (CEdR) Reading Group!

Update Feb 2022: the CEdR Reading group hasn’t yet started up for the year—but if you’d like to be informed when we do then email Ben and we can add you to the mailing list.

Our goal is to raise the bar for computing pedagogy at ANU by developing a shared understanding of the best research in computing education, and to build a network to support CEdR at ANU. We plan to meet weekly for one hour, discussing one paper/topic each session.

The logistics are managed through the CEdR Microsoft Teams group: you can request to be added to this group with this link, or if you get stuck you can email Ben or Josh.
