Mark Noone
Biography
Mark Noone is a University Tutor in the department of Computer Science at Maynooth University since 2019. His work within the department involves the running many of the departments large-scale outreach programs including an annual Summer Camp, Coderdojo and others. He also manages first year modules as the first year teaching assistant and lectures on some modules.
He is currently finalising a Masters degree in Computer Science Education entitled "VisTex: An Investigation on the Role of Visual and Textual Languages when Learning to Program". This topic is focused on whether visual languages and textual languages provide differing outcomes for students at the early stages of their education, and whether some hybrid form of these languages could provide an alternative CS1 solution. An ouput of this research was the tool "Hybrid Java".
His research interests include Computer Science Education, Programming Languages, Student Support and Outreach Scaffolding.
Research Interests
Mark's current research interests are in the areas of Computer Science Education, Programming Languages (visual, text-based, "hybrid"), curriculum development, support structures / methodologies for CS1 students and the gamification of Computer Science Education using "BreakoutEDU".
He is a member of the PACT team and the Computer Science Education Research Group.
