Our UK ACM SIGCSE journal club meets on the first Monday of the month online at 2pm UK time to discuss the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) with a focus on Computing and AI. We meet most months with the exception of UK bank holidays and the occasional month off. You can get involved by:
- Joining our next meeting online on Monday 5th October at 2pm BST (UTC+1)
- Inviting an author to present their paper by picking a free slot from our upcoming journal club meetings. You can even invite yourself to present a paper that you have authored or co-authored, in a short 5-10 minute lightning talk
- Catching-up on meetings you’ve missed. In order to allow free-flowing discussion, we DO NOT record the sessions, but selected meetings are turned into follow-up audio podcast interviews with authors. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
