Submission Advice for EdTech 2026
1. Choose the Right "Flavor":
o If your paper is about Algorithms/Code/Systems (e.g., "An AI Algorithm for Grading"), submit to ICETC (ACM) or ICET (IEEE).
o If your paper is about Classroom Impact/Psychology (e.g., "Student Motivation in Online Learning"), submit to CSEDU or ISET.
2. Check ACM Formatting: If you target ICETC, be aware that ACM templates are notoriously strict. Download the LaTeX/Word template now to save time later.
3. Speed vs. Prestige: ICET 2026 (IEEE) has the closest deadline (Feb 25) and will likely publish faster (by late 2026). IEEE TALE (Dec 2026) won't be indexed until early 2027.
