Kia ora! I'm Jack and have spent most of my life in the South Island of New Zealand. I studied at University of Canterbury, earning a Computer Science degree and now working in the realm of Computer Science Education.
This is the research group I currently work for at the University of Canterbury.
A textbook on Computer Science that I help create and maintain. It aims to support students investigating Computer Science throughout New Zealand.
This textbook is being written in my spare time, for students and teachers wanting to learn Python to complete several NCEA assessments.
A small interactive I created that teaches that images are made of pixels, and every pixel has data. This is used in the Computer Science Field Guide, and more information about this can be found in the 'Data Representation' chapter.
A small interactive I created that teaches sorting techniques, used in the Computer Science Field Guide. More information about this can be found in the 'Algorithms' chapter of the Field Guide.
A small interactive I created that teaches searching techniques, used in the Computer Science Field Guide. More information about this can be found in the 'Algorithms' chapter of the Field Guide.
