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

This chapter is a step by step guide to creating visualisations in Tableau that can provide insights into student behaviour on a tech tool. The chapter focuses on visualising data from an activity log. Many tech tools generate a log of every activity taken by users of the tool. This log typically records the date and time of the activity; who did it; and what the activity was (e.g. view a post; submit an assessment etc.).

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
