"Teaching Computer Graphics in Contex"

Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics

The goal of this Workshop was to explore ideas in computer graphics education with a focus on teaching computer graphics in context.  While previous workshops have focused on designing the computer graphics curriculum, this workshop recognized the importance of designing the students' learning experience within the curriculum.

The workshop was held on March 31 and April 1, 2009 at the Technische Universität München in  Germany, immediately before the Eurographics 2009 conference

Co-Chairs:

Colleen Case, Schoolcraft College

Steve Cunningham, Brown Cunningham Associates

"Defining an International Curriculum in Computer Graphics"

Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics

The goal of this Workshop was to define an international curriculum in Computer Graphics studies in a computer science or informatics programme that respects the Bologna requirements of the EU and reflects the international nature of the computer graphics education workshops to date.

The  workshop was held on September 9, 2006 at the Technische Universität Wien, immediately following the Eurographics 2006 conference.

Co-Chairs:

Jean-Jacques Bourdin, University of Paris 8, France
Steve Cunningham, Grinnell College, USA
Marta Fairén, Polytechnic University of Catalunya, Spain

"The Beginning Computer Graphics Course in Computer Science"

Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics

This Workshop was the third in a series of computer graphics education educaion workshops sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics. These Workshops focus on conseding problems in computer graphics education and making recommendations basd on those considerations. This report covers the discussion on teaching computer graphics in computer science and focuses almost on teaching the beginning course in the subject.

The  workshop was at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, June 2-6, 2004

Co-Chairs

Steve Cunningham, U.S. National Science Foundation, Arlington, Virginia, USA
Werner Hansman, Universität Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany
Cary Laxer, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute, Indiana, USA
Jiaoying Shi, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China

A new project, Computer Graphics Educational Materials Source (CGEMS), has been launched by Eurographics and ACM SIGGRAPH. CGEMS is an emerging online refereed repository for curricular materials related to computer graphics.
