Description

This OER provides teaching and learning material in technologies applied to sustainability and resilience system design solutions, in particular, electronics prototypes involving sensors and actuators.

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

This resource is primarily for lecturers, course developers, instructional designers, and tutors/demonstrators to help teach electronic circuit and system design, applied to climate change problems. The benefits of the resource are to draw together in this context , giving students basic skills that can be used with sensors to detect environmental variations and actuate mitigation devices. The step-by-step guide will enable educators to develop modules and teaching plans incorporating these themes.

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
