"UW CSE's new Education and Educational Technology group is interested in methods and tools for teaching computer science and applications of computing to education in general. We have two main meetings each week: the 590ED research seminar (linked at left), where we discuss published research, and an informal group meeting, where we quietly scheme about revolutionizing the way UW the world teaches computer science and have lunch.
