Final report on a 12-hour Magma workshop supporting UCD’s Introduction to Coding Theory module. Eimear Byrne and Giuseppe Cotardo describe the workshop design, programming exercises, ten group-project briefs and student feedback. Includes example code and assessment tasks.
This report is a practical reference for lecturers and tutors who want to connect abstract coding theory with computational experimentation. It documents a three-day workshop for UCD’s MATH30180 module and includes teaching materials alongside the project evaluation.
The workshop ran on 9–11 March 2020. Subsequent group work and presentations moved online during the COVID-19 restrictions. The report therefore also provides context for supporting computational mathematics projects remotely.
Written by Eimear Byrne and Giuseppe Cotardo, School of Mathematics and Statistics, University College Dublin. Dated 14 June 2021, it is the final report of a Learning Enhancement Project for 2019–2020.

This Open Educational Resource (OER) provides educators with a practical checklist for designing gamified learning experiences in Canvas. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, it offers actionable strategies to enhance student motivation, engagement, and participation by supporting autonomy, competence, and relatedness within an inclusive, student
LogiCraft is an interactive digital logic circuit simulator that helps students, educators, and instructional designers build, test, and analyze logic circuits through a visual canvas interface. It supports hands-on learning in digital logic, computer architecture, and electronics by combining drag-and-drop design, real-time simulation.
The AI Integration Review (AIR), developed by GenAI:N3, is a reflective resource designed to support educators in reviewing and developing their use of generative AI in teaching and learning. It encourages critical reflection, informed decision-making and thoughtful integration of AI into academic practice.
