2nd Int’l Code Hunt Workshop on Educational Software Engineering (CHESE 2016)

Focus

This workshop’s intent was to build up a specific part of the research community of educational software engineering around testing using gaming. Code Hunt is the most available tool for this research, but papers addressing other platforms, systems and tools were also welcome. Topics included, but were not limited to:

• theory and practice of testing in education
• the relationship between testing and gaming
• approaches to providing hints
• analysis and visualization of student data
• challenges of sharing and re-using data
• challenges provided by different programming languages
• experience reports on playing Code Hunt games
• constructing and analyzing Code Hunt games
• challenges of white box testing.

Types of submissions

The workshop solicits regular papers (6 pages) and position statements or demo reports (2 pages). The submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three program committee members. The workshop organizers will make acceptance decision based on the reviews provided by the program committee members. COI will be carefully handled during the reviewing process. The submission should be made via the EasyChair (opens in new tab) website.

Papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library. For this reason, submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this symposium. Authors are required to adhere to the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism (opens in new tab) and the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions (opens in new tab).

Papers must be prepared in ACM conference format (opens in new tab). All submissions must be in English. The submissions should list the paper authors recognizably not anonymously (i.e., FSE does not use double blind reviews). Submissions that do not adhere to these guidelines or that violate formatting will be declined without review.
