Forming Community in Computing Science Education with Research in Practice Project Activities

Abstract

The United Kingdom and Ireland Computing Education Research (UKICER) conference is emerging as a leading venue to disseminate research contributions to the community. However, it is important the venue continues to act as an entry point for individuals to participant in computing science education research. Consequently, the present proposal is to offer a new form of collaborative, community-forming activity at the UKICER conference called Research in Practice Project Activities (RIPPAs). The first RIPPA is focused on Spatial Skills and Computing Science and will be offered at UKICER 2021.
