The International Workshop on Teaching
Computational Science (WTCS2008) will be held in
Krakow, Poland in conjunction with The
International Conference on Computational Science
2008 (http://www.iccs-meeting.org/iccs2008/). The
technical program of WTCS2008 will consist of
both presentations and demonstrations between
vocational and university education, quality
management in teaching, teaching people from
other cultures, attracting and retaining female
students, and flexible learning.

***TOPICS***

The WORKSHOP solicits submissions that describe
innovations in teaching computational science in
its various aspects, e.g. computer science,
modelling and simulation, at all levels and in
all contexts. Typical topics include, but are not
restricted to, innovations in the following areas:
- course content,
- curriculum structure,
- methods of instruction,
- methods of assessment,
- tools to aid in teaching or learning, and
- evaluations of alternative approaches.

These innovations may be in the context of formal
courses or self-directed learning; they may
involve, for example, introductory programming,
service courses, specialist undergraduate or
postgraduate topics, industry-related short
courses. We welcome submissions directed at
issues of current and local importance, as well
as topics of international interest.
