Welcome to our Computer Science Inclusive Learning Environment (CSLINC)

Computer Science Inclusive Learning Environment (CSLINC)

CSLINC provides formal Computer Science (CS) curricula through equitable online modules, that provides long term exposure to CS. Teachers can deliver modules synchronously, asynchronously, virtually, blended or face-to-face. CSLINC aims to promote and increase the capacity and sustainability for access into the Leaving Certificate Computer Science subject at second-level, where currently there is a void for Transition Year (TY) CS curricula as well as a need for curricula and supports for Junior Cycle. In addition, CSLinc aims to support Youth Reach (YR) students and their teachers and all students who do not have access to formal CS education.

CSLINC is an online student learning environment for Computer Science consisting of several modules built upon international best practices with varying collaborators which are tailored to Irish second-level students. This will also include automated assessment where students, on successful completion, will receive certification.

Each module consists of:
Lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, videos, class/home work, and solutions for teachers
A full suite of tools to deliver successful TY Computer Science courses
Modules available from an online environment where CSinc sets up the class and enrolls all students
Available Modules:
Astro Pi with ESERO
BBC Micro:bit (CSinc)
Computational Thinking (Maynooth University - PACT)
Computer Systems (Dell)
Design and Make a Micro:Bit Satellite (ESERO, CSinc, and the Blackrock Observatory)
HTML and CSS (CSinc)
Machine Learning and AI (CSinc, UCD, ML Labs and Huawei)
Makecode Arcade (Microsoft Ireland Dreamspace)
Python (CSinc)
Python as Gaeilge (CSinc)
STEM with a Micro:Bit Satellite (ESERO and the Blackrock Observatory)
Cybersecurity (Fidelity Investments)
Pytch Coding (Trinity College Dublin)
BJC - The Beauty and Joy of Computing (BJC Berkeley, CSinc, University of Limerick and LERO)
Automated Assessment and Certification:

The assessment is automated, where the students take a pre-created quiz, that is graded automatically. If students are successful a certificate of completion will be issued by TU Dublin, for each mini-course passed.
