Special session: The CS2013 Computer Science curriculum guidelines project

Work began in late 2010 on a project to revise the ACM/IEEE-Computer Society Computer Science volume of Computing Curricula 2001 and the interim review CS 2008. The new guidelines for computer science are scheduled for release in 2013. This interactive session will give the computing education community an opportunity to review current working documents created by the CS2013 Steering Committee and thus influence the CS2013 volume scheduled for release in 2013. The Strawman draft of CS2013 was released in early 2012, containing new knowledge areas as well as significant updates to previous knowledge areas. The Steering Committee will present the Strawman draft and discuss changes to that draft that are being considered as a result of the first round of public comments. The majority of the session will be devoted to engaging attendees in guided discussions of sections for which additional community input is particularly relevant.
