Just using those words in the title sends the warning flag that this is a grey bearded old man of the internet post. So the idea of connecting together independent bits of the web to do something useful might by yelling at a cloud (or The Cloud), but damnit, it all works for me. Sit […]
Like some shiny dress shoes, my SPLOT themes just got a wee bit of polish based on some needs others had. I also made an effort to make sure the three main ones TRU Writer, TRU Collector, and SPLOTbox all got the same shine. This also reinforces what has been true since the first SPLOTs […]
While my stint for BCcampus operating the H5P Kitchen has passed, I am still very interested in H5P as an open education platform. I did a short open discussion (aka free form) this week for Simon Fraser University, and spied a new H5P project over at MERLOT and was interested to see an H5P Studio […]
I’m no guru on web accessibility, most of my projects likely will fail to meet the standards. But I am more interested in the small things we can and ought to do to at least try better. Somehow in the last year that has popped up for me a few times looking at how Twitter […]
I will say up front that my reach for a Western Movie metaphor will fall flat and two short of the original. But look at the lovely horses, beamed directly from the Icelandverse. Last week I lobbed a presentation for the Open Publishing Fest — It Goes SPLOT! TRU Writer as an open, shared, privacy […]
Literally? Nah, just that I have a photo that fits. I am excited, honoured (note = spelling, lived time in Canada has left Fahrenheit behind and extra u’s are now slippin’ in) to have been asked by founder Yasin Dahi to be on the Advisory Board for his nifty open source startup called Learnful that […]
Maybe I will just leave this post as a tweeted blog title without any explanation. Let’s leave the conten as an exercise of the imagination for “The Reader.” Ok. Wait. Ummm. Maybe? Nah. This is another installment in the vein of web serendipity, amazing story of openness making, et al where someone I don’t know […]
I have not jumped on the #ungrading hashtag but glance at it often and respect the efforts people share to move away from point system approaches and quiz/testing as measures of proxies of quasi-indicators of learning. The participation in the Ungrading Book Club and now EdCamp is impressive. This post has bounced in my heads […]
Here is another one of those small winding internet trails I found myself on without anticipating of it. Back of the mind, this leads me to wonder about highly structured learning __________ systems, where everything is precisely detailed and specified, and leaves no room for wandering off trail. But that’s another post. Or not. This […]
I will project I spent more time remixing the featured image for this post than writing it, but the reward of both is something I can likely never fully explain. It was the best of software, it was the worst of software, it was the age of the metaverse, it was the age of foolishness, […]
