SPLASH-E Symposium (SE/PL & Computing Education)
SPLASH-E is a symposium, started in 2013, for software and languages (SE/PL) researchers with activities and interests around computing education. Some build pedagogically-oriented languages or tools; some think about pedagogic challenges around SE/PL courses; some bring computing to non-CS communities; some pursue human studies and educational research.
At SPLASH-E, we share our educational ideas and challenges centered in software/languages, as well as our best ideas for advancing such work. SPLASH-E strives to bring together researchers and those with educational interests that arise from software ideas or concerns.
Authors of accepted contributions to SPLASH-E 2022 will be able to present their work even if they cannot travel to the SPASH 2022 conference site in Auckland, New Zealand. Authors of accepted contributions are expected to register for SPLASH 2022.

Accepted Papers
Call for Papers
SPLASH-E is a forum for educators to make connections between programming languages research and the ways we educate computer science students. We invite work that could improve or inform computer science educators, especially work that connects with introductory computer science courses, programming languages, compilers, software engineering, and other SPLASH-related topics. Educational tools, experience reports, and new curricula are all welcome. Potential topics of interest include:
- innovative curriculum, assessment or course formats
- multidisciplinary learning environments
- integration of research into teaching and training
- individual and multidisciplinary team development
- methods to involve industry as a key stakeholder in the design, delivery, or both of courses
- new modes of learning and education in the digital era
- industrial transfer of educational findings
- ethics instruction
- equity, diversity, and inclusion, in the classroom
- methodological aspects of education
- application of educational research methods in education
- online learning and its impact on educational settings and curricula
Accepted Formats
- Short papers (3-5 pages, not including references): Course experience reports: What was new, or different? What worked, or didn’t? What successes would you like to share, or pitfalls can you warn us about?
- Full papers (10 pages, not including references): Conventional papers on education research results, tools or case studies. We also invite papers on retrospective discussions over a longer-term course experiment, or larger-scale curricular design.
- Lightning talks (1-4 pages, including references): See below.
If your submission does not conform to one of these formats, please contact the co-chairs to discuss it. There’s a good chance we can still consider your work for SPLASH-E.
Submission instructions
Submissions should be blinded. Use the ACM SIGPLAN Conference acmart Format, with the sigplan and review \documentclass options. This produces two-column, 10pt files. If you use LaTeX or Word, please use the provided ACM SIGPLAN acmart templates provided here. All submissions should be in PDF. Please also ensure that your submission is legible when printed on a black and white printer. In particular, please check that colors remain distinct and font sizes are legible.
Publication Information
Short papers and full papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library. Lightning talk descriptions will appear on the website only. AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to /two weeks prior/ to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
Lightning Talks
The SPLASH-E 2022 Symposium will accept proposals for lightning talks to take place during SPLASH-E. Lightning talks can cover projects in progress, zany ideas, reflections, or education opportunities that SE/PL researchers might otherwise miss. These can be a way to find collaborators for projects, inviting critique on research designs, or just ways to inspire good conversations. Lightning talks will be approximately three minutes apiece.
Deadlines
We know educators are highly constrained in terms of time – especially now! We have therefore extended the deadline for full papers by 7 days, more precisely until the end of August 26 AoE. The new deadline for short papers is the end of September 2 AoE. Lightning talks can be submitted up to 2 weeks before the event. We can’t guarantee how much time the talk will be allocated.
Registration and presentation
Authors of accepted contributions to SPLASH-E 2022 will be able to present their work even if they cannot travel to the SPASH 2022 conference site in Auckland, New Zealand. Authors of accepted contributions are expected to register for SPLASH 2022. The SPLASH-E 2022 organizers will update this site well ahead of the symposium with details on how the event is conducted.
