Description

This resource captures insights through zine making from workshop participants at the Education after the algorithm symposium hosted at DCU on 21 February 2025, facilitated by Kate Molloy and Clare Thomson.

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

Benefits:

  • Encourage workshop participants to examine convivial approaches to embedding sustainability literacies, such as degrowth and rewilding, rather than adopting a utopian/dystopian lens.
  • Develop unique reflections on embedding sustainability, degrowth, and rewilding into ed tech and design practices.
  • Model the intersections of sustainability literacies, creative futures, and learning design through open educational practices such as zine making.

How to Make Use of It:

  • Use the video as a discussion prompt for reflection on current sustainability and ed tech practices in staff development workshops or teaching contexts
  • Adapt or re-create the workshop in your own context to compare and contrast insights, for instance, in a community of practice or in your own teaching

This OER explores novice programmers’ experiences of pair programming across face-to-face, hybrid, and remote settings. It provides insights into collaboration, role switching, satisfaction, and challenges, helping educators and students understand how to effectively prepare learners for modern hybrid software development environments.

This OER guides students through human-in-the-loop software development, demonstrating how AI tools can be effectively supervised, refined, and integrated across the Software Lifecycle. Designed for computing educators and learners, it combines agile practice, teamwork, DISC awareness, testing, and critical reflection on human–AI collaboration.

This OER introduces students to designing and developing AI-powered assistants for agile software development using Flowise (no code). Learners as a team explore Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and agent-based systems, applying AI to real-world agile practices while considering technical design, evaluation, and cost-aware decision-making
