Teaching is a hard task. There are a very few gifted teachers who can make any course interesting. You could be one of them. Your lectures could inspire others to love the teaching profession and perform better. We have identified several challenges in teaching Data Structures, Algorithms, Databases, and Operating Systems courses. We want to know your creative ways of addressing these challenges!
Any faculty member who teaches/has taught computing courses in India in a higher education institution. (e.g., B.Tech/BE/M.Tech/ME/B.Sc/BCA/MCA programmes)
You need to create a 10-15-minutes video that explains how you address a specific teaching challenge. Submission link: https://forms.gle/pmT4xRBAMKZnuE4w7.
Thanks to support from ACM India, we are delighted to announce prizes worth Rs. 30000. Participants with outstanding submissions will also be offered free registration to attend COMPUTE 2021 (virtually), to share their work with the wider community of computing faculty in India.
The selected videos shall be hosted on iSIGCSE / ACM websites. This would give you more visibility and give other teachers an opportunity to learn from you.
Example challenges that can be addressed
Data Structures:
Algorithms
Databases
Operating Systems
We will review all submissions and identify a shortlist. If your submission is shortlisted, we will schedule an interaction with you to discuss these questions:
Why do you believe that your approach helps address this challenge? (For example, you can describe any formal (or informal) studies you have conducted to assess your belief.)
How can others replicate your success? (We welcome submissions from all types of institutions! For example, your approach may be best-suited for a specific type of institution such as an engineering institution outside top-tier institutions such as IITs.)
Winners will be announced on October 23, 2021.
At COMPUTE’21, we will recognize the winners and invite them to speak about:
How others can implement these ideas.
Ways to jointly collaborate on evaluating this approach in other institutions.
