The CGEMS is an online refereed repository for instructional materials related to Computer Graphics, Digital Arts and Media. It is backed by the SIGGRAPH Educational Committee and the Eurographics Education Board.

We are collecting educational material showcasing the best examples of teaching Computer Graphics and Digital Arts. If you have developed valuable content in the field - publish it and shape your academic identity!

Each submission undergoes critique by experts in the field - long-term educators, professionals, and artists. Outstanding contributions will be elected by members of the Editorial Advisory Board and exhibited at SIGGRAPH 2009. The winner will receive free conference access.

We consider material in the following categories:

1. Complete Module: A self-contained, single-topic teaching unit.
2. Problem Set: Student assignment with underlying rational & structure.
3. Teaching Gems: Innovative bits of teaching material that highlight an approach to teaching a particular problem.
4. Curriculum: The body of knowledge of a specific curriculum with knowledge areas, units, and exemplary topics.
5. Course Syllabus: Annotated sequence of course units with requirements and student readings. New category!

Please check the CGEMS Authoring Guidelines on preparing your submission.

Our best materials can serve as submission examples, for example:

• Complete Course Module
• Complete Lab Module
• Problem Set
• Teaching Gem
• Curriculum
