Abstract	Welcome to the Eleventh Australasian Computing Education Conference (ACE2009). This year, the ACE2009 conference, which is part of the Australasian Computer Science Week, is being held in Wellington, New Zealand from January 19 to January 23, 2009. We can truly call this an international conference with 77 authors coming from Malaysia, Taiwan, China, Finland, England, United States, Greece, Argentina, Sweden, New Zealand and Australia. The Chairs would like to thank the Program Committee for their excellent efforts in the double-blind reviewing process which resulted in the selection of 18 full papers from the 40 papers submitted, giving an acceptance rate of 45%. Our keynote speaker is Professor Mark Guzdial from Georgia Tech, author of several books including "Introduction to Computing and Programming with Python: A Multimedia Approach." He is currently vice-chair of the ACM Education Board and is a prominent member of SIGCSE, being the Symposium Co-Chair for SIGCSE 2009. For two days prior to our conference, we have organized a workshop partly sponsored by SIGCSE on "Contextualised Approaches to Computing Education". The presenters, Mark Guzdial and his wife Barbara Ericson, will cover several different contextualized approaches, including media computation, robotics and engineering approaches to CS1. The topics of ACE2009 papers and presentations include taxonomies, classifications, studies of novice programming students, the use of technology in education, course content, curriculum structure, methods of assessment, mobile, flexible, online learning, and evaluations of alternative approaches to computing education. The high quality papers this year continue to push the frontiers of opportunities for research and innovation in computing education, and this conference will enable these educators to meet and share their experiences in a new forum. We will be holding a Second Life Panel where we will attempt to stream SL to the Conference room and connect Melbourne, Auckland and Nelson to showcase SL in action. In keeping with the ACE tradition, there will be a post-conference workshop continuing to build research in Australasian computing education. Five years ago in Dunedin, New Zealand, we held the first BRACE workshop, and this year, on the return to New Zealand we are continuing the tradition by holding a BRACElet workshop.
