The NWISEd workshop series provides a dynamic forum for the presentation, discussion, and dissemination of innovative educational approaches in information systems, software engineering, and related fields. The workshop aims to bring together educators and practitioners to share experiences, best practices, and lessons learned in modern teaching methodologies - both in on-site and remote environments. 

The workshop seeks to support and enhance teaching and learning experiences, ultimately fostering sustainable education. By identifying, refining, and promoting proven practices, it aims to transform them into everyday habits for educators, helping to bridge the gap between innovative concepts and their practical application.  

NWISEd is designed for educators in information systems, software engineering, and related disciplines, as well as for anyone interested in exploring modern education approaches, pedagogical strategies, tools, and technologies. It provides a collaborative space where participants can engage in discussions, experiment with new methodologies, and contribute to shaping the future of learning.  

Submission Guidelines, Publication

Position papers, papers describing the work-in-progress, tool demonstration papers, technical reports or other papers that would provoke discussions are especially welcome.

Contributions are solicited for papers that are 6 to 12 pages long. Papers should be original contributions and should not be accepted or submitted elsewhere until the decisions of the NWISEd 2025 program committee are announced.

All contributions should be in PDF format and should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system before the deadline.

The papers should be prepared in the CEURART template (http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip), available for LaTeX, Word and Libre Office, in its single column layout. For papers in LaTeX, an Overleaf template can be used, too.

NWISEd 2025 proceedings will be published by CEUR Workshop Proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org) and indexed by "dblp: computer science bibliography".
