The OOPSLA Educators' Symposium is specifically designed for professionals who have a vested interest in object technology education and training. This one-day symposium is a unique forum for educators and practitioners to discuss their educational needs and their ideas in incorporating object technology into courses, curricula, and training plans. The symposium will include invited talks, paper presentations, panels, demonstrations, and possibly OOPSLA workshop reports.
We solicit papers, and proposals for panels, demonstrations, and workshop reports. Topic areas include: teaching experience in object technology at any level, effective object technology case studies and exercises, collaboration efforts between academia and industry for technology education and training, needs analysis for education and training, and innovative pedagogical approaches and techniques for teaching object technology. Selection will be based on relevance, clarity, and originality, as well as technical and educational merit.
Papers and demonstration proposals are limited to 10 pages, double spaced. Panel proposals must include: panel topic, a description of the key issues to be discussed; and each panelist's name, background, and presentation summary. Workshop report proposals must include a copy of the OOPSLA submitted workshop proposal as described in the Workshops section. The workshop proposal must also be submitted to the Workshops Chair. For all submissions, a separate cover sheet must contain the name, affiliation, address, phone and fax numbers, and electronic mail address of the author or contact person.
Three copies of each submission should be mailed to the Educators' Symposium Chair. Facsimile and electronic submissions will NOT be accepted.
ACM SIGPLAN and OOPSLA will provide a scholarship program for educators from two and four year colleges. Scholarships will cover conference expenses and contribute to travel expenses. Interested educators should contact the Educators' Symposium Chair for submission guidelines.
Submissions must be received by Educators' Symposium Chair: March 3, 1997. Notification of acceptance or rejection: May 1, 1997. Deadline for camera-ready and electronic copy: July 29, 1997.
