This week I was able to catch up a bit on some podcasts I subscribe to. One of the casts I’ve been enjoying lately is 25 Years of Ed Tech, a serialized version of Martin Weller’s book by the same title. Now audio books are plenty good by themselves, but this particular podcast has an…

Using Scrolling Panels in E-Learning (2020) #273
I have a back catalogue of small instructional design challenges and charrettes that I’ve been meaning to build into something bigger one day. That is obviously taking too long, so here’s a new idea. The Articulate E-Learning Heroes Community runs a weekly eLearning Challenge. I’ve mentioned before that often different IDs in different contexts will use…
Brutalist Worksheets
Checking out the Oldaily I came across Brutalist Worksheets. Here, Downes refers to a piece by Will Gourley by the same name, and adds “Now this isn’t a new trend, as evidenced by his references to worksheets created by the vertical foot on the photpocopier, but anyone taking courses online will immediately make the conceptual…
Looking Back at The Year That Shall Not Be Named
This my second only time to blog about a year in review, great timing. But recently I watched a video from a leader at our institution and in that video what caught my attention was not necessarily the praise staff and faculty got (which they really deserve), but they mentioned a bunch of these other…
Thing 7
I opted not to set up a Twitter account as I had never really used this form of communication previously and I wanted to have a browse first. I searched on library related subjects allied to my current role as a Resource (read Metadata) Libraria…
Thing 6
This was an insightful topic. As someone who has no accessibility issues with using online material, it was good to be reminded that online content should be accessible for those who have such issues. I put a number of University home page w…
Thing 5
I must admit that I had previously not given much thought to the use of emoji’s/emoticons online. It seems reasonable to me to expand the range of possible emoticons to include people previously excluded from representation. Now I’m just wai…

Thing 23: Reflection & Farewell
I have come to the end of my 23 Things for Digital Knowledge journey, and what an enlightening and enjoyable journey it has been! When I embarked upon the program last year I could not possibly have contemplated that the world was about to be forever changed by the spectre of COVID-19. In my own …
Thing 22: Fun, Play, Create
This is the second last ‘Thing’, meaning my 23Things journey is almost over! This week I had fun creating digital objects with cool tools including Dubsmash and Snapchat, both of which I downloaded and used on an Android device. Dubsmash was particularly enjoyable as it allows you to create videos of yourself lip-syncing to audio. …
