First Prize in IEEE COMPSAC Student OER Contest

Congratulations to Alex Zhang Caiqi from the Department of Computing (BSc (Hons) in Computing, Year 3) winning the First Prize of the 1st Annual Student Open Educational Resources (OER) Contest organised by the IEEE Computers, Software, and Applications Conference (COMPSAC).

"Learning Computing by Card Magic" is a video tutorial created by Alex, aiming at teaching some basic computing knowledge by playing card magic. To arouse the interest of the audience, Alex first demonstrates a card trick followed by an explanation of the underlying coding concepts such as the conversion between decimal numbers and binary numbers and some useful data structures.

OERs are publicly available web-accessible entities that can help teachers to teach or students to learn through innovative online approaches.
