Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Only CS Ed Research: this is for cs Ed research, not for discussion about your career or major.
Works well
- Share a summary of a peer reviewed study on how students grasp recursion or object oriented concepts.
- Post a comparison of two pedagogical approaches for teaching introductory programming, with citations.
- Discuss a curriculum design decision and the research evidence that informed it.
- Ask how educators measure the effectiveness of a specific CS teaching tool or method.
Avoid
- Do not post about your personal career path or your college major.
- Do not ask for career advice or share your career story.
- Do not post general computer science discussion that is not tied to education research.
- Do not treat this as a general CS help forum for homework or programming questions.
What r/CSEducation Is For
This community is for computer science educators and education researchers. The description names cs ed research, best practices, pedagogy, curriculum, and policy as the topics on the table. People who teach computer science or study how it is taught are the ones posting here.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
There is one rule here and it is the gatekeeper. The rule is titled "Only CS Ed Research" and it says the community is for cs Ed research, not for discussion about your career or major. That is the entire framework you need to work within. If your post is not computer science education research, it does not belong.
What To Post
A good post here is a piece of computer science education research or a discussion tied directly to it. You could share findings about how students learn a specific programming concept, compare teaching approaches, or discuss curriculum design backed by evidence. The description mentions pedagogy, best practices, and policy, so a post that connects your work to one of those areas in a research minded way fits. If you are a founder with a tool for CS classrooms, frame it around the educational problem you studied and the evidence behind your approach, not around the product itself.
What To Avoid
The rule is clear about what gets removed. Anything about your career or your major is out. If you treat this like a general computer science forum or a place to ask about your own path, your post will be removed. Keep your personal story out of it.

Common questions about r/CSEducation
Is it okay to share my career journey as a CS educator?
No, the rule says this is for cs Ed research, so general career talk is not allowed.
Can I share a tool or resource for teaching CS?
Yes, if it is grounded in computer science education research, pedagogy, or curriculum, it fits the community description.
Are links allowed here?
The rules do not mention links or promotion, but your post must be strictly focused on computer science education research to survive.
