Coding theory is a major component of Applied Algebra. It has many applications in the mathematics of communications and has many links with other scientific disciplines, such as electrical engineering and computer science. Coding theory arises in almost every imaginable digital communications and storage system. In UCD, it is taught at the undergraduate level in the module MATH30180 An Introduction to Coding Theory.
Initiative
Crof – An interdisciplinary educational resource which advocates ethical work practice by use of personal values and goals
About this initiative
“Croí” is a practical tool that supports educators in implementing ethics and values into education programs. It advocates the integration of students’ values and goals into work, to encourage an ethical approach. Users work their way through different paths based on inputs. This project will include workshops and an e-learning module that students can take to help define their values to strategically align their educational aspirations with their values and goals. It includes an online application (website or other) to house explainer videos, activities and questionnaires

Improving Access to Practical Elements of Environmental Engineering
In an applied subject – such as engineering – practical, hands-on learning opportunities are invaluable. Student and external examiner feedback has emphasised the value that students place on laboratory and practical classes, and the desire to incorporate more of these activities into the modules offered. This project focuses on two modules which are delivered simultaneously to two cohorts of students; in-person and online.
Immersive Technology in Education: A Collaborative Learning Initiative
This project is underpinned by an innovative short online course on Immersive Technology in Education. It stems from the research of Rachel Farrell, UCD School of Education, in the area of ‘democratic pedagogical partnerships’ (Farrell, 2021) in teacher education and is designed and facilitated by post-primary school teacher Mark Baldwin of SchooVR.
