Computer Graphics Educational Materials Source (CGEMS)
Special Issue: Highlights of the 04/05 Academic Year
DEADLINE: 30 August 2005
The Computer Graphics Educational Materials Source (CGEMS) is an emerging
online refereed repository for curricular materials related to computer
graphics. More details about CGEMS are below.
We are currently considering materials for a special issue that will highlight
curricular innovations for the 05/06 academic year. Specifically cally we are
looking for content in the following categories:
-
Complete Modules – Th ese are the preferred type of submission. A module
is a self-contained, single-topic teaching unit.
-
Lessons / Teaching Gems – Th ese are similar to modules but more
narrowly focused bits of teaching material that highlight an approach to
teaching a particular problem in either introductory or advanced settings.
-
Student examples – Images, movies, interactive works that are outcomes
of your assignments.
Note: ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST INCLUDE A SCHOLARLY PAPER.
Check the guidelines here.
Formats
We will accept the material in most common formats (TXT, PDF, Java, VRML, JPEG,
GIF, MPEG, etc...). Formats should have free, publicly available viewers.
To submit work, you must first register as an author. Go to:
http://cgems.inesc-id.pt. Once there, click on "Register." Then choose
the option to register as an "Author" and fill in all the requested
information.

at the Conference.

Further Details about CGEMS:
The Computer Graphics Educational Materials Source (CGEMS) is an emerging
online referred repository for curricular materials related to computer
graphics.
CGEMS will encompass as many disciplines as possible that incorporate computer
graphics, including computer science, math, physics, graphic arts, and "fine"
art to name a few.
The Eurographics Education Board and the SIGGRAPH Educational Committee have
sanctioned the CGEMS project. Steve Cunningham (EG Education Board Chair),
Werner Hansmann (the past SIGGRAPH Director of Education) and Colleen Case
(present) are in support and advising us as we develop the server. Joaquim
Jorge, Frederico Figueiredo (INESC, PORTUGAL), Dena Eber (Bowling Green State
Univ) and others have been working on the details of the server since 2002 when
the idea was proposed at an international education workshop in Bristol.
