    Do you have using Blackboard and Moodle?

    I never liked them either when I was at UNSW, so we built OpenLearning! OpenLearning is the fun and social way to learn. It's like Facebook + YouTube + Wikipedia for education and at least a billion times better than Blackboard or Moodle. OpenLearning is already used by a number of UNSW...

    It does cover C quite a bit along with some of the main concepts in software engineering that you would need to understand for many other languages. The course has just started however you can still enrol and go through the activities at your own pace. Enrol for a few more days here...

    We're expecting this course to work really well and then be offered regularly in the future.

    The course will appear on your OpenLearning profile and you'll earn some awesome looking badges. Other than that you won't receive a certificate but you might want to consider a UNSW Computing degree if you really enjoy :)

    The course they are thinking of is called HS1917 where UNSW offers the first computer course to high school students. That course requires you to show up to weekly tutorials at UNSW and take the exams with the rest of the university students. This course is different in that it is entirely...

    Cool, obviously the HSC is the thing to focus on. There is no requirement that you have to finish it at the same time as everyone else and you'll be able to access the course long after everyone else has finished. So you could actually enrol and just start when you finish the HSC - so it might...

    Part of the fun of this course is that you are taking it with lots of other people and you'll form a community and help each other. For that to work well, everyone needs to go at reasonably the same pace. If it goes well then we'll look to run it again and more regularly but you can always drop...

    Yea the entire course can be a bit full on (although still exciting). This one will still teach you a lot and have some cool activities but you can do it in 5 hours a week or even at your own pace.

    Nah this is different. HS1917 is the full semester computing 1 course where you have to attend tutorials and labs at UNSW, then take the exam in person at UNSW. This course covers half the content in the same amount of time, so it moves at a slower pace. It's also completely online and anyone...
