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...
Hey All,
Hope your HSC went fantastically! Now that you might have a little more time and by popular demand, another class of UNSW Computing 1 - The Art of Programming is starting on December 3rd 2012.
You can enrol here: https://www.openlearning.com/courses/unsw/computing1 :)

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...
Hi All,
UNSW Computing will be running a university level computing course online for high school students starting on October 15th. It includes lectures from famous lecturer Richard Buckland, goes for 12 weeks and will give you a taste of what it's like to be a developer / software engineer...

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...
Thanks Mr Brightside, SpiralFlex and D94, it's shaping up to be a really cool course. Richard has some of his older lecturers on youtube but this is the first time you'll be able to do the activities and interact with other people.
Just to clarify, this is a special version of the first year...

Hi,
Each of the options have a similar first year offering however they will differ a great deal by the time you are finished. This page has some information: http://www.computing.unsw.edu.au/comparison.php
If you are not sure what you really want to do in computing then computer science...
