Abstract :
The IEEE Computer Society is the world´s oldest organization of computer professionals. In spite of the Computer Society´s importance, it lacks a journal, a dedicated conference, or a significant Web presence devoted to computing education. This work in progress discusses the setting up of a website to better serve the Computer Society´s membership by providing high-quality material to support computing education. Such a site will enhance the Society´s profile in education and provide a high-quality service to both members and nonmembers. A web presence is proposed because a conference or journal is expensive to implement and would not have the impact necessary to serve all the membership and to significantly improve recruitment.
