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.

Developing Instructional Media for Use in Undergraduate Chemistry Teaching
About this initiative
This project aims to support students and staff in the Laboratory sciences area within the University to collaborate and generate a series of digital resources (videos) for the benefit of current and future students. The initiative is fully aligned to the June 2022 European Council’s recommendation on Learning for the Green Transition and Sustainable Development goals and enables peer-to-peer learning and students’ co-creation of knowledge and resources. It is directly aligned to Priority 2- Transforming Learning Environments and Priority 4- Empowering and Mobilising Young people as outlined within the Education for Sustainable Development to 2030 report and to Theme 1 Education for Sustainable Development within this specific programme call.

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.
