    We propose a System for Adaptive Interest-based Learning (SAIL) that utilizes community knowledge sharing (crowd-sourcing) strategies to empower adaptation of examples and practice problems based on students’ individual interests. Personalizing education based on interest can lead to increased intrinsic motivation and positive learning outcomes. While most studies have been conducted manually, adaptive learning technologies offer a new approach to widespread incorporation of adaptive interest-based materials. The difficulty in widespread implementation is the enormous effort required to create customized content. SAIL aims to provide a framework for educators to access and contribute adaptive materials via community knowledge sharing within an easy-to-use adaptive learning system.

    Computer Science (CS) seems to be everywhere - in our smartphones, apps, cars, watches and so much more. It is integrated into almost every discipline and has a growing importance in our daily lives, yet even with top salaries, exciting companies, and promising careers, the job market remains underpopulated and under-representative of women. Though its applications are everywhere, CS is an often misunderstood field due to lack of exposure and knowledge. This paper explores the misperception associated with Computer Science and examines the efforts to make it more inclusive by attracting women, introducing CS earlier at the K-12 level, and improving entry-level college courses.
