| 2026 | QueryPRIMM: A PRIMM-Based Tool for Learning SQLabstractStudents often find learning Structured Query Language (SQL) challenging, particularly when understanding how queries operate on relational data. Active engagement with queries and their results can help students build stronger understanding of SQL concepts. The PRIMM (Predict-Run-Investigate-Modify-Make) framework provides a structured approach for engaging learners with code through prediction, exploration, and modification activities.

| 2026 | Agency for Whom and To What Ends: A Plan for Investigating Impacts of Agentic AI in Computing EducationabstractAgentic AI, where AI systems have their own forms of agency, will present some of the most critical challenges that computing education will face, including regulatory gaps and amplified cascading social and ethical impacts. This working group proposes a landscape analysis of the ethical and societal implications of using Agentic AI in higher computing education. By exploring emerging literature and use cases of Agentic AI, we aim to contribute a timely landscape study exploring 1) the emerging challenges and opportunities associated with Agentic AI, 2) how higher education is beginning to adopt and use Agentic AI and the resulting ethical and societal impacts, and 3) the implications (e.g. challenges, opportunities, limitations) of integrating Agentic AI in computing education. The expected outputs are: 1) a protocol and literature scoping review of Agentic AI in education, and 2) an analysis of current practices and use cases in computing education. Together, these outputs aim to identify emerging patterns, use cases, key challenges, and principles to support the ethical and responsible integration of Agentic AI in education.

| 2025 | AutoMCQ - Automatically Generate Code Comprehension Questions using GenAIabstractStudents often do not fully understand the code they have written. This sometimes does not become evident until later in their education, which can mean it is harder to fix their incorrect knowledge or misunderstandings. In addition, being able to fully understand code is increasingly important in a world where students have access to generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools, such as GitHub Copilot.

| 2025 | Extracting Notional Machines for DatabasesabstractDatabase education is a cornerstone under many of the more popular topics in computer science such as machine learning and visualization. Although, in recent years, more fundamental research into database education has come out, there are many more ways in which it can be extended. Research on the practice of teaching databases, namely on the educational materials and explanations of teachers, can help us create new building blocks for fundamental research. This working group aims to collect and present notional machines of different types, for a wide range of database subtopics. These materials offer and updated context for database educators to design their courses from, as well as open up pathways of further research into database education.

| 2024 | Curriculum Analysis for Data Systems EducationabstractThe field of data systems has seen quick advances due to the popularization of data science, machine learning, and real-time analytics. In industry contexts, system features such as recommendation systems, chatbots and reverse image search require efficient infrastructure and data management solutions. Due to recent advances, it remains unclear (i) which topics are recommended to be included in data systems studies in higher education, (ii) which topics are a part of data systems courses and how they are taught, and (iii) which data-related skills are valued for roles such as software developers, data engineers, and data scientists. This working group aims to answer these points to explain the state of data systems education today and to uncover knowledge gaps and possible discrepancies between recommendations, course implementations, and industry needs. We expect the results to be applicable in tailoring various data systems courses to better cater to the needs of industry, and for teachers to share best practices.
