Ladies and Gentlemen, As IEEE Education Society Vice President for Conferences, I am pleased to remind you that the Society has a premier engineering and computer science education conference held each year in IEEE Region 10 (Asia and Oceania). Three weeks remain for you to prepare and submit your paper. The IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning in Engineering (TALE) is designed to complement the Society's other very popular Frontiers in Education (FIE, IEEE Regions 1-7) and EDUCON (IEEE Region 8) conferences. Now, regardless of your location in the world, a premier IEEE Education Society conference is at your doorstep. This year, the conference is offering a special session on Computing Education sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. Information on this special session can be found at the conference website. I encourage you to read the call-for-papers and consider submitting your research or practice paper for peer review. I've also attached a PDF flyer from the website for your use in dissemination to colleagues or other email lists.

Bali's natural attractions include miles of sandy beaches, picturesque rice terraces, towering active volcanoes over 3,000 meters high, fast flowing rivers, deep ravines, pristine crater lakes, sacred caves, and lush tropical forests full of exotic wildlife. The island's rich cultural heritage is visible everywhere - in over 20,000 temples and palaces, in many colorful festivals and ceremonies, in drama, music, and dance. Bali is also well-known for its night life. Come to Bali enjoying the beautiful environment and fun here! Bali Dynasty Resort is a premier beachside resort in South Kuta, renowned for its warm Balinese hospitality. The Resort offers six restaurants, five bars, three swimming pools including a kids pool with its own Kids Water Fun Zone and a dedicated adults only pool, spa, exercise room, beach club, kids' club, teens club, meeting facilities and a complimentary Hospitality Lounge for those early arrivals and late departures. The unique layout allows for a subtle but effective division between the couple and family market. Couples can enjoy the famous Gracie Kelly's Irish Pub and relax at the adults-only Lazy Pool, while kids enjoy a 56-metre waterslide flowing into their own pool and complimentary entrance to the Enchanted Garden Kids' Club. A wide variety of rooms catering to the family market are available, sleeping up to five people. The resort is located within walking distance of Kuta's nightlife, Waterbom Park and Discovery Shopping Mall and next to the Famous Kuta Beach. PAPER SUBMISSION, REVIEW AND PUBLICATION Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of four (4) to six (6) A4 pages (including tables, figures and references) in standard IEEE double-column format. Papers will be accepted only by electronic submission through the conference website, from which submission guidelines and a template for papers are available. A blind peer-review process will be used to evaluate all submitted papers. All accepted and registered papers that are presented at the conference will be published in the conference proceedings (CD-ROM/USB) and uploaded to the IEEE Xplore database, which is indexed by Scopus., provided they meet the required IEEE PDF paper standard. The proceedings will also be submitted for possible indexing to EI Compendex, ISI Thompson Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and INSPEC. Awards will be presented to authors of the best papers presented at the conference. These authors, along with authors of other selected papers, may be invited to submit revised and expanded versions for potential publication in the IEEE Transactions on Education, and/or other refereed international journals. (The content of the expanded paper must be substantially different to that of the version submitted to the conference, and publication is subject to peer-review acceptance in accordance with the relevant journal's editorial policies and guidelines.)
