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
Development of Methodologies and Tools to Enhance In-Person Teaching Through the Use of Lecture Recordings
About this initiative
This project enhances student learning by developing tools and best practices for creating more navigable, pedagogically effective lecture recordings. Building on research into student and staff use of recordings, it will deliver Canvas/Panopto-compatible solutions, improving accessibility, engagement, and teaching quality, while supporting UCC’s leadership in digital education innovation.

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.
