The IEEE Education Society was founded in 1957 and is one of the oldest technical Societies in IEEE. It is a worldwide Society of professionals dedicated to ensuring high-quality education in science and engineering. Our members engage students each day, research and propose new theories in learning science, and innovate classroom practice. We welcome your contributions to our community and hope you can benefit from the dialog the Society helps to foster.

At the end of the year, the Society experiences times, as in your personal life, of renewal, reflection, and plans for the next year. The renewal of leaders of the Society is carried out at different levels, through the elections of our officers periodically, as well as new members of the Board of Governors. I want to welcome the newly-elected Society Officer and the newly-elected Members-at-Large of the Board of Governors, as well as the new members of the Society elevated to the Class of IEEE Fellows. This is proof of the functioning of the renewal of the positions and, together with the awards, of the recognition of professional development in our Society. You can find more information about all of our activities in this newsletter...Continue Reading

Sorel Reisman
Dr. Sorel Reisman, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Information Systems and Decision Sciences at California State University, considers being elected as the IEEE Computer Society President and being elevated to an IEEE Fellow, two of his greatest professional achievements. Outside of work, Dr. Reisman enjoys spending time in Turin, Italy, playing tennis, and avoiding all emails, phone calls, and text messages on the weekends. His IEEE and Society memberships have been a key contributor to the professional activities that supported his elevation to IEEE Fellow. According to Dr. Reisman, his accomplishments are a direct result of the work he has completed with other IEEE members who have become his good friends over the years...Continue Reading

The formation of the IEEE Technical Committee on Immersive Learning (TC-ILE) and its bylaws have been approved by the Educational Society. Under the leadership of Prof. Christian Guetl (Chair), Prof. Melanie Platz and Prof. Minjuan Wang (Vice-Chairs), and Prof. Andreas Dengel (Secretary) in the first working period, the TC aims to promote, advance, and disseminate state-of-the-art scientific information and resources of immersive concepts, tools, and environments for educational purposes. It will also identify and bring together diverse groups of researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals of relevant fields, and will provide professional development opportunities for academic and industry professionals.
Our planned activities for the coming year include hosting webinars and panel series and carrying out standardization initiatives. We will also co-host special tracks/sessions at relevant conferences and edit special issues in relevant journals. TC-ILE is also happy to announce its active involvement in the iLRN (Immersive Learning Research Network) 2022 conference in Vienna, and in the Knowledge Tree Systematization Project. Colleagues interested in our technical committee are invited to join TC-ILE by sending a short message to [email protected].

IEEE Education Society BoG approved a proposal from IEEE Education Society Standards Committee to form a Virtual Graduate Study Consortium (VGSC) on 22 June 2021. VGSC will not be limited in time and space only at a given conference. It will be a Virtual Organization (VO) initiated and sponsored by the IEEE Education Society with other IEEE Organizational Units as well as with universities and industrial partners. The VGSC will be built using a participatory action research method previously followed for the development of IEEE Education Society's first sponsored standard (IEEE SA Std.1876 - 2019 on Smart Online Laboratories). It is found that this approach is a suitable approach due to the evolving nature of technological infrastructures based on interactive devices and innovative pedagogies such as enhanced contextualized smart mentoring and tutoring learning systems. The mentors of the project would be the teacher-researchers, volunteers, and members of IEEE Education Society and its other IEEE Organizations Units, particularly those members of working groups on standards. We are also counting on all the participants in various committees such as those of the Editorial Boards and Editors of the IEEE Transactions on Education, the IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, and IEEE-RITA. We will thus co-construct or use the environments and tools required to achieve the objectives useful for candidates for graduate studies around the world.

The CITEF is one of the networks of the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF) that was created in Rabat, Morocco in 1986. This engineering and technician training network aims to promote cultural, economic, and social development through scientific and technical training and research. In particular, it strives to promote: the mobility of people and ideas in the framework of inter-institutional projects, the establishment of regional cooperation through the creation of centers of excellence and networks, the circulation of information in the field of training and research, and mutual assistance in the areas of pedagogy, research, and educational institutions governance.
Dr. Hamadou Saliah-Hassane has chaired the IEEE Education Society Standards Committee since 2010. He also chaired the standardization process adopted by the working group whose activities led to the adoption of IEEE SA Std. 1876 - 2019, earning the 2019 IEEE Standards Association Emerging Technologies Award.

The IEEE Computer Society’s Computers, Software, and Applications Conference (COMPSAC), in cooperation with the IEEE Education Society, is pleased to announce COMPSAC’s second Annual Student OER Contest and invites undergraduate college/university student submissions.
OERs (Open Educational Resources) are web-accessible entities that can be used by teachers to teach, or students to learn. Submissions are open to undergraduate higher education students, working alone or in teams of up to four, who have developed a Web-based OER that can be used for teaching or learning at the undergraduate college or university level of Computer Science or Information Technology.
OERs that qualify for this contest include materials that may have been developed for class projects, including animations, case studies, video presentations, simulations, tutorials, workshop and training materials, etc. Examples are (i) video presentation (e.g., a 10-minute video for teaching a computing topic), (ii) animation (e.g., an animation explaining a sorting algorithm), or (iii) website (e.g., a website for a computing-related tutorial). Please refer to the 2021 winning submissions here for reference.
