Proceedings of the Association Supporting Computer Users in Education (ASCUE) Annual Conference (51st, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, June 10-14, 2018)

Abstract

The Association Supporting Computer Users in Education (ASCUE) is a group of people interested in small college computing issues. It is a blend of people from all over the country who use computers in their teaching, academic support, and administrative support functions. Begun in 1968 as the College and University Eleven-Thirty Users' Group (CUETUG), with an initial membership requirement of sharing at least one piece of software each year with other members, ASCUE has a strong tradition of bringing its members together to pool their resources to help each other. ASCUE continues the tradition of sharing through its national conference held every year in June, its conference proceedings, and its newsletter. ASCUE proudly affirms this tradition in its motto: "Our Third Quarter Century of Resource Sharing." ASCUE initiated a refereed track for paper submissions to the conference in 2008. In fact, at the 2008 business meeting, the membership approved three different presentation tracks: refereed with 3 blind reviews for each paper, session with paper where the author submits a paper but it is not reviewed, and session without paper where no paper is submitted and only the abstract is included in the proceedings. To reflect this division, the proceedings is divided into three sections. The first section, up to page 77, contains the approved refereed papers, the second section, from 78 to 102, holds the papers from the sessions with paper, and the last section lists the abstracts for the other sessions. A presenters index is included.
