| Abstract | We are delighted to welcome you to the eleventh annual International Computing Education Research Conference, ICER'15, sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE). Omaha, Nebraska, USA, is the host city for this year's conference, with sessions taking place on the campus of the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Now entering its second decade, ICER proudly continues its tradition as the premier ACM forum for dissemination and lively discussion of the latest findings in computing education research. ICER papers represent significant, rigorous contributions to the field, and the conference provides avenues for discussion of preliminary work by continuing the lightning talks track and adding a new poster track for 2015. The conference also serves a vital mentoring and advising role for upcoming CS discipline-based education researchers through the doctoral consortium. For the second year, the work in progress workshop (formerly called the critical research review) provides an opportunity for other researchers to receive extensive feedback on draft manuscripts or proposals related to a new computing education research project. ICER'15 has seen dramatic growth across all categories, and we saw 40% more paper submissions than in 2014. The call for papers attracted 96 full research papers. These papers were doubleblind peer-reviewed by members of our international program committee, with the three conference co-chairs and two associate chairs serving as meta-reviewers. Ultimately, 25 papers (26%) were accepted for publication and presentation. We also had a record 27 students apply for the doctoral consortium, and 20 were selected for participation this year. Papers and student abstracts are included in these proceedings. In addition, the conference program includes 10 lightning talks and 23 poster presentations. A further 10 researchers will take part in the work in progress workshop. Authors and presenters represent 9 countries: Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Finland, Germany, Jamaica, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This year's program highlights a wide range of research topics, including block-based programming languages, cognitive and social aspects of learning computing, computing education policy matters, e-books, and novice compilation behaviors-just to name a few. We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Jim Spohrer from IBM for the ICER'15 keynote address. Spohrer's early work on novice programmers is widely recognized as foundational for much of today's computer science education research. His keynote, Empowering Makers in the Cognitive Era, will examine how past and present research findings can be leveraged to foster a true generation of independent, creative, and responsible technology creators. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
