New Work: An Introduction to Coding and Design
29 January 2020
In the second half of 2019, I worked on a project I called Longridge. This project was to write three online courses in a series called An Introduction to Coding And Design, for a programme of courses from the Institute of Coding launching in 2020. I worked with both Futurelearn - the MOOC they’re hosted upon - and the University of Leeds to write and deliver the courses.
Those courses are now live at Futurelearn, as of the 27th January 2020!
The courses are designed as two-week introductions to topics around programming and design for beginners interested in getting into technology, perhaps as a career.
I’ve written up the project in much more detail here; you can read my summary of the work here. I cover some of the reasoning behind the syllabus, the choice of topics, and the delivery. And, most importantly, I thank the collaborators who worked with me throughout the process, and collaborated on the courses.
