Since launching Q-CTRL's Black Opal, our quantum workforce development and edtech product, to more and more businesses and universities, we've heard the growing desire to customize the content available through Black Opal. Today, Black Opal offers over 400 lessons. But we know that as enterprise customers roll out workforce training to more teams within their organizations or to their clients, the training content needs to be tailored to each business unit. For educators, we've heard the need for more flexibility to pick and choose the specific lessons and activities to better align with the learning outcomes they have planned or to augment any existing curriculum. That's why the team built Content Assignment, brining course customization, cohort management, and progress monitoring into our Enterprise and Educators offerings. Now, customers can tailor quantum education to the goals of their learners and the structure of their curriculum. More and more business and universities see the necessity to upskill on quantum for future competitiveness, and we're exciting to help equip. If you're an content or training administrator at a business or educational institution, find out how to prepare for the quantum era below! https://lnkd.in/gYFsPsuQ https://lnkd.in/gk4gpBvj

If you are teaching a #quantumcomputing course, you can now supplement your own syllabus with the intuitive visual explanations and challenges that make Black Opal such a unique software product! Content assignments allow you to control the pace and order of how your students engage the material, making it easy to add the best interactivity to your course. Get in touch to learn more about how you can deliver world-class content to your students!

UTSA Computer Science students, Mark your calendars for our CS Jumpstart sessions. Jumpstart is for students enrolled in CS 1083, 2113, 2713, 2123 and 3423 for the fall semester. More to follow! #UTSA #UTSACS #jumpstart

November saw the pilot of the exciting new Maths Roadshow across L.E.A.D. primary academies, including Windmill, Sycamore, Warren, and Radford. This engaging initiative brought maths to life outside of the classroom in a way that’s not possible in class, sparking curiosity and excitement among pupils in Years 1 to 6. Led by Cat Stone, Primary Lead Practitioner (Maths), the Maths Roadshow featured a variety of interactive puzzles, games, and challenges that allowed pupils to explore mathematical concepts in a hands-on way. From building giant cubes to using mirrors to make symmetrical words, the interactive sessions were designed to encourage teamwork and critical thinking, with pupils working together to solve each challenge. Feedback from both pupils and teachers was overwhelmingly positive. Teachers praised the workshop for its engaging material and the variety of challenges that kept pupils constantly involved. Pupils expressed their enjoyment, with one saying, "I’ve learned so much. I want to have another session!" Another pupil remarked, "The experience was amazing. We’re lucky to have had the opportunity." Beyond the fun, the Maths Roadshow also aligns with key national curriculum objectives, focusing on fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving. It promotes collaboration, builds positive attitudes towards maths, and challenges pupils in creative ways.

Check out what the awesome organisers, Karrtik Jeyakumar and Catherine Karavias, had to say about Deckle at the Monash University Bachelor of IT and Computer Science orientation event! Just two weeks back, Deckle stepped onto the Monash scene with our epic game Poll Masters' debut, custom-made to fulfil their specific requirements. And let me tell you, the response was off the charts! 🚀 #pollmasters #monashuniversity #informationtechnology #computerscience #orientation

Meet one of our Plenary Speakers for the upcoming Thirty-First International Conference on Learning! Wouter van Joolingen is a professor of science and mathematics education at the Freudenthal Institute, Utrecht University. His work focuses on teaching and learning science, including the development of scientific literacy and scientific thinking. Examples are modeling, systems’ thinking and mechanistic reasoning. Prominent in his work is the application of digital technology in support of inquiry-based learning and modeling. These applications include computer simulations, modeling tools, as well as augmented and virtual reality. Central is the alignment of human and computer-based instruction with the envisaged learning process. Recent projects include the application of Lesson Study as a means to engage teachers in the design process of science education. In such settings, teams of teachers design lessons together with researchers based on theoretical and practical insight. When teaching the lesson, the focus is on student learning. This approach both leads to deep insights into student learning and improves inclusion as students’ individual needs surface in the observations. Wouter has applied Lesson Study in multiple studies, including those into systems thinking, model-based reasoning and sustainability education. In Wouter’s view, teachers are always also researchers of their teaching. https://lnkd.in/dwscT9Qj

This is the quote on my board to welcome my CS students on Monday. "Every big program starts with a single line of code. In computer science, you begin small—experimenting, exploring, and learning—and as you grow, so do the possibilities. Embrace the fun, make mistakes, and enjoy the journey. Before you know it, those simple lines will evolve into something extraordinary!"
