Informatics Europe <u><b>is still accepting submissions</b></u>
for its 2017 Best Practices in Education Award devoted to
initiatives <b>making Informatics education available to all.</b><br>
<br>
The Informatics Europe Best Practices in Education Award
recognizes outstanding European educational initiatives that
improve the quality of Informatics teaching and the
attractiveness of the discipline, and can be applied and
extended beyond their institutions of origin.<br>
<br>
The Award will reward a successful teaching/dissemination
effort in Europe that:<br>
<br>
• has made a measurable difference in Informatics education<br>
• is widely applicable and useful for the teaching
community<br>
• has made a measurable impact in its original
institution(s) and beyond<br>
<br>
Examples of impact include course results, traditional and
online courses, learners’ projects, textbooks, professional
development, and influence on the curriculum of other
institutions/countries. <br>
<br>
The 2017 Award is devoted to curriculum and professional
development initiatives for making Informatics education
available to all. The Award will honour original contributions
that emphasize successful initiatives for teaching of
Informatics fundamentals in one of the following areas:<br>
<br>
• Reaching out to non-traditional audiences, e.g., in
continuing professional development or to senior citizens.<br>
• Educating the general public, e.g., with respect to data
security and privacy.<br>
• Including Informatics education in other curricula, e.g.,
in general teacher training.<br>
<br>
Experiences and reports showing how to use software or
hardware tools in order to improve learning in other
disciplines than Informatics will not be considered.<br>
<br>
The Award carries a prize of EUR 5000.<br>
<br>
