TFPIE 2017

Trends in Functional Programming in Education, 2017

https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/sjt/TFPIE2017/


The sixth workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education, 
2017, which is to be held on the Canterbury campus of the University of 
Kent on Thursday, 22 June, following the 2017 TFP meeting on 19–21 June. 
TFPIE workshops have previously been held in St Andrews, Scotland 
(2012), Provo Utah, USA (2013), Soesterberg, The Netherlands (2014), and 
Sophia-Antipolis, France (2015), College Park, USA (2016).

A particular topic of this year's TFPIE will be MOOCs and other online 
learning, and as well as a session on this, we're looking forward to 
announcing a keynote speaker in this area very soon.

The goal of TFPIE is to gather researchers, teachers and professionals 
that use, or are interested in the use of, functional programming in 
education. TFPIE aims to be a venue where novel ideas, classroom-tested 
ideas and work-in-progress on the use of functional programming in 
education are discussed. The one-day workshop will foster a spirit of 
open discussion by having a review process for publication after the 
workshop. The program chair of TFPIE 2017 will screen submissions to 
ensure that all presentations are within scope and are of interest to 
participants. After the workshop, presenters will be invited to submit 
revised versions of their articles for publication in the journal 
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).

Second call for papers

TFPIE 2017 welcomes submissions describing techniques used in the 
classroom, tools used in and/or developed for the classroom and any 
creative use of functional programming (FP) to aid education in or 
outside Computer Science. Topics of interest include, but are not 
limited to:

  - FP and beginning CS students
  - FP and Computational Thinking
  - FP and Artificial Intelligence
  - FP in Robotics
  - FP and Music
  - Advanced FP for undergraduates
  - FP in graduate education
  - Engaging students in research using FP
  - FP in Programming Languages
  - FP in the high school curriculum
  - FP as a stepping stone to other CS topics
  - FP and Philosophy
  - The pedagogy of teaching FP
  - FP and e-learning: MOOCs, automated assessment etc.
  - Best Lectures – more details below

In addition to papers, we are requesting best lecture presentations. 
What’s your best lecture topic in an FP related course? Do you have a 
fun way to present FP concepts to novices or perhaps an especially 
interesting presentation of a difficult topic? In either case, please 
consider sharing it. Best lecture topics will be selected for 
presentation based on a short abstract describing the lecture and its 
interest to TFPIE attendees.

Submission

Potential presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract (4-6 
pages) or a draft paper (up to 16 pages) in EPTCS style. The authors of 
accepted presentations will have their preprints and their slides made 
available on the workshop's website.

Papers and abstracts can be submitted via easychair at the following 
link:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfpie2017

After the workshop, presenters will be invited to submit (a revised 
version of) their article for review. The PC will select the best 
articles for publication in the journal Electronic Proceedings in 
Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). Articles rejected for presentation 
and extended abstracts will not be formally reviewed by the PC.
