The IFIP TC3 Task Force on the Curriculum was established in July 2014 in response to calls for change in the curriculum for Computers Science/Informatics. The Task Force has been working to analyse and research key issues and considerations for the curriculum and to make recommendations for curriculum design and implementation. This work is summarised in a short report which was accepted by the IFIP General Assembly and several other papers – see below.

Recently our work has also focused on Advances in Conceptualizing, Developing, and Assessing Computational Thinking.
