Some members of the BlueJ team will be at the SIGCSE 2012 conference this year, presenting opportunities to use BlueJ for your Computing Education research.

At the SIGCSE 2012 conference in Raleigh, North Carolina (USA), Ian and Michael from the BlueJ team will host a special session titled Building an Open, Large-Scale Research Data Repository of Initial Programming Student Behaviour (Fri, March 2, 1:45-3:00).

In this session, we will present and seek input into a new project that aims to use BlueJ do gather large scale data for computing education research. If you are interested in CompEd research, and you have an idea of what data you’d like to collect, come along and tell us. Or if you just want to find out what this is about – now’s your chance.

Ian, Michael and Neil from the BlueJ team will also be at the Oracle booth in the exhibit area much of the time (doing Greenfoot demos), so come along and say hello if you are in the area.
