The WEPG 2009 will be held together with Sibgrapi 2009, the largest and most important Brazilian meeting in Computer Graphics, Image Processing, and Computer Vision. The purposes of WEPG 2009 are:

• Promote the discussion of the teaching-learning practice in the great area of Graphic Processing;
• Discuss with the Sibgrapi community, suggestions to / from the SBC "Course of Quality" and integrate these two communities;
• Disseminate and discuss experiences, techniques, learning tools and results concerning the curricula in the area, and;
• Give an opportunity to higher education teachers, through the discussion of the teaching-learning practice, to associate teaching with research.

The "I Workshop on Computer Graphics and Education" was held at Escola Politécnica-USP, São Paulo, in February 2003, under organization of Prof. Marcelo Zuffo and sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH. The "II Workshop on Computer Graphics and Education" (II WCG & Edu), was held in Manaus, Brazil, during Sibgrapi 2006. In a meeting during the II WCG&Edu it was decided to change the name of the workshop to "III Workshop on Education of Graphic Processing" (III WEPG). Then, the III WEPG was held in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, during Sibgrapi 2007. Profs. Marcelo da Silva Hounsell (LARVA-DCC-UDESC) and Marco Antonio Garcia de Carvalho (UNICAMP-CESET) were the co-chairs of the last two WEPG.

We cordially invite you to participate of WEPG 2009 by submitting your work in all areas of Computer Graphics, Image Processing and Computer Vision, including but not limited to the following topics:

• Curricula;
• Pedagogical approaches in PG education;
• Procedures for evaluation;
• Interdisciplinary learning;
• Learning tools;
• Practices and resources;
• Lifelong learning;
• Exchanges between the arts and sciences;
• Alumni and lecturer expectations.

Chairs

Romero Tori and Isabel Harb Manssour.

Workshop Program

A discussion panel entitled "Teaching Computer Graphics in Brazil" took place at the XIII Brazilian Symposium on Computer Graphics and Image Processing program (Sibgrapi 2000, Gramado-RS). At that time several points of view were discussed including Computer Graphics subjects and different strategies for teaching. Nine years after, this panel revisits that important debate, bringing together five renewed Brazilian professors to discuss, among others, the following topics: Computer Graphics subjects usually included in our main Computer Science curriculum; didactic tools available nowadays for teaching Computer Graphics; and the variety of technological courses that have emerged in recent years.
