Abstract

Welcome to the latest installment of "EduBits," your quarterly pipeline to new and exciting happenings in the world of ACM education. In this edition, we visit the ACM Education Board-sponsored Learning @ Scale conference, ACM's first annual symposium on MOOCs, and learn about a new report from the ACM Education Policy Committee urging states to expand computer science education. Also, updates from the ACM Public Policy Office and Code.org take stock of the extraordinary number of first-time-coders participating in the Hour of Code.
