This year at the IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE), Cesar Tecson presented his paper which evaluated the intelligent tutoring system, Intelligent Learning System for Automata (ILSA), on users’
achievement goal orientations using analyses based on user experience and feature significance.

TALE is the IEEE Education Society’s flagship Asia-Pacific (IEEE Region 10) conference, catering to researchers and practitioners with an interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education – with a particular emphasis on electrical and electronic engineering, telecommunications, computer engineering, computer science and allied disciplines – as well as those interested in the innovative use of digital technologies for learning, teaching and assessment in any discipline. The target audience of the conference is diverse and includes those working in the higher education, vocational education and training (VET), K-12, corporate, government, and healthcare sectors.The conference was hosted by the University of Wollongong Australia and Charles Sturt University from December 4-7, 2018.

On 19 December 2018, ALLS hosted a team from St. Paul’s College Pasig, including Ms. Paola Grajo, and five Grade 12 students, Jenny Lim, Theresa Magsajo, Bea Mallari,Bianca Mallari, and Althea Manansala. They consulted with Dr. Rodrigo about their senior thesis project that aims to develop a  hypermedia learning system that will be used for teaching ratio and proportions to Grade 6 students.

We are pleased to announce that the paper “Portraits of Underprivileged Filipino Second Language Learners: Towards the Development of Computer-based Educational Game” has been accepted as a short paper.

Congratulations to Rex Bringula, Jaclyn Ocumpaugh, and the JOLLY team!

The CSP organized this conference to enable local and neighboring computing educators, researchers, ICT professionals and students to interact and to share their work in computing, computer science, computer engineering, computational science, and information and communications technology (ICT). The conference features special lectures by prominent researchers and educators in the field of information and communications technology (including computing, computer science, computer engineering, computational science, and related disciplines). It also features contributed research papers on computing and ICT.

ICE 2018 is organized by the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP)– Special Interest Group in Computing Education (CSP SIG-SpICE) and Cebu Institute of Technology University (CITU), Cebu City, Philippines. ICE2018 will be hosted by Cebu Institute of Technology University, Cebu City, Philippines, this coming October 4-6, 2018.
