Tutorials are usually 75 minutes long, and are held during one of the conference sessions. Abstracts of accepted tutorials will be published in the Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges, which is included in the ACM Digital Library.

Instructions for submitting tutorials

A workshop is more in-depth than a tutorial. Preferably, it involves active learning activities (hands-on or "pen-and-paper" exercises). The presenter is an "expert" in the field. Workshops are usually 3 hours long, and are held before the conference. Abstracts of accepted workshops will be published in the Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges, which is included in the ACM Digital Library.
