The future of computer science education and observations from on-line learning.

Buchanan, William J

Abstract

This session will look at the opportunities at the present time and in the future for Computing, and provide key pointer to the skills that are required to undertake a career in related areas. Along with this Bill will outline the results of the work undertaken on the Bright Red Publishing Digital Zone related to Computer Science, along with an analysis of engagement within the on-line environment, and on future developments. A key element of the talk is for the audience to provide ideas on the future of the Digital Zone, and how it might be support teachers and pupils for Computing Science.
