As calls grow for more widespread knowledge of computer coding – the latest from Business Council of Australia president Catherine Livingstone – the University of Adelaide has launched its latest MOOC Think. Create. Code. through MOOC provider edX. The course shows learners how to code by creating artistic images and animations, which will develop computational thinking skills and teach concepts which can be transferred to other coding environments. “For many of us, barely a day goes past without recording a video, taking and editing photos, and sharing digital content across multiple applications. But how well do we understand the technology we’re using, and how is digital information created and manipulated?” the course designers ask. Over 18,000 students have enrolled in the course which started on April 30. But it’s not too late to join.
