TutorialsSIGCSE Virtual 2026

Tutorials provide an in-depth review of, or introduction to, a topic of interest, and should provide participants with materials and/or ideas that are immediately useful. Tutorial presenters should provide participants with handouts, online materials, or other tangible documents/artifacts supporting the tutorial content.

Each 3-hour tutorial should engage participants in learning new techniques and technologies designed to foster education, scholarship, and collaboration.

Tutorials require payment of a supplemental fee from tutorial attendees.

Authors submitting work to SIGCSE TS are responsible for complying with all applicable conference authorship policies and those articulated by ACM. If you have questions about any of these policies, please contact sigcsevirtual2026-tutorial@sigcse.org for clarification prior to submission.

ACM has made a commitment to collect ORCiD IDs from all published authors (https://authors.acm.org/author-resources/orcid-faqs). All authors on each submission must have an ORCiD ID (https://orcid.org/register) in order to complete the submission process. Please make sure to get your ORCID ID in advance of submitting your work.

Submission Information

Tutorials proposals consist of answers to a series of prompts on EasyChair. You can update your submission in EasyChair until the deadline, so it is fine to put draft information there as you get ready. Note that you will need a title, 250-word abstract, keywords, context/motivation for the tutorial, proposed agenda, planned hands-on activities for the tutorial, qualifications of tutorial leaders, primary audience (e.g., high school teachers, CS1 instructors, etc.), any special constraints (e.g., expected capacity, power, audio/visual, or equipment needs, and space configuration). Also note that when submitting, you will need to provide between 3 and 7 related topics from the Topics list under Info. Proposals also include advertisement text (see below).

\textbf{Advertisement Text:} The advertisement is used by attendees to select tutorials. It is a short (2 to 3 paragraphs) but comprehensive synopsis of the tutorials, and must address these five points: 1) for whom the tutorial is intended, 2) what participants can expect to know after the tutorial, 3) highlights from the proposed schedule, 4) equipment requirements for participants, and 5) other important information for attendees about the tutorial(e.g., registration will be refunded by the tutorial presenter/sponsor). The advertisement can use less formal language and/or include details not appropriate for the abstract.

Single Anonymized Review

Submissions of a tutorial are reviewed with a single-anonymous review process. Submissions should include author names and affiliations. Thus, the authors’ identities are known to reviewers, but reviewers are anonymous to each other and to the authors.

The reviewing process includes a discussion phase after initial reviews have been submitted. During this time, the reviewers can examine all reviews and privately discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the work in an anonymous manner through EasyChair. This discussion information can be used by the track chairs in addition to the content of the review in making final acceptance decisions.

The SIGCSE Virtual review process does not have a rebuttal period for authors to respond to comments, and all acceptance decisions are final.

ACM Policies

By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM’s Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.

ORCID ID

ACM has made a commitment to collect ORCiD IDs from all published authors (https://authors.acm.org/author-resources/orcid-faqs). All authors on each submission must have an ORCiD ID (https://orcid.org/register) in order to complete the submission process. Please make sure to get your ORCID ID in advance of submitting your work.

Accepted Tutorials

Each tutorial will receive a time slot in the program schedule. During the time slot, a live virtual meeting will be started. Attendees will be expected to write their questions in the chat, so the tutorial facilitators will need to monitor it during the tutorial session.
