Double Indemnity assignment on ds106 - we have MacGuffin fever here as the whole family are once again firing ideas around and searching for stills. For non ds106 readers you have to alter one line in a movie to change the course of the plot. here is one of my all time favourite movies with [...]
It's been a challenging few weeks for us as a family thinking about the future and what it may bring, in many ways, so I have found refuge in working with my photos (always theraputic for me). The other day I published some photographs I made as part of ds106 visualassignment13 which were the result [...]
Michael Branson Smith has done a lovely opeing post for ds106 called High School is Everyone's Forever Ago and Cheryl Colan has done her own with a brilliant big hair photo. Their high school days were in the 80's but mine were in the 70's, although I still seem to have fairly big hair; ) [...]
This is a follow-on post to the one I did for DS106 on averaging of photos which was for visual assignment 13. That post included a tutorial on how to use picassa to average out 50 photos taken from a flickr search. In that post I illustrated how to use an averaged image to enhance [...]
This is not new but I realise I haven't shared it on my blog. It is a summary prezi about the benefits of sharing learning resources but could be equally be called the benefits of OER. alot of people keep asking what the benefits of OER are.The report and this prezi highlight the benefits for [...]
Open Education Resources I haven't blogged much about my OER work on this blog as most of my writing around this area is scattered across other resources. This page attempts to draw some of this together. I see my work in this field as being more broadly related to several other areas of work. These [...]
I have created some moo cards which will be handed out at the ALT-C 2011 Conference. They use a colour palate which reminds me of cake... There are eight cards and they each have a few words about the JISC innovating e-learning online conference experience.... Keep an eye out for them and grab one if [...]
I have written before about the term Digital literacies and how I feel about it. That is not what this post is about. Terminology aside I am really pleased to see JISC funding a new programme around Developing Digital Literacies. I really enjoyed working on the JISC funded study which really set the stage for [...]
My partner Tim has been involved with the ds106 course (most notably as the pirate in our radio show), but does not blog regularly. We've all gone a bit animated gif mad here and have several in production... I am very very jealous of these animated gifs that he did which I think perfectly capture [...]
here is my trailer mashup assignment - saturday night fever to the audio on strictly ballroom I used mpeg streamclip to save the files and then used adobe premiere (part of my cs3 package). I have never used this before so a bit of a learning curve and thanks very much to Andy Rush [...]
I am currently deciding what to do for the video assignment for ds106. So many things to try. I'm undecided as yet but wanted to share some old videos (made in 2007). These have been blogged before when I made them but the reason I wanted to include them as a ds106 post is because [...]
So another 3am late night finishing the 15 minute radio show which took days to do, days!!! The final version was no where near good enough - with several dodgy segment links and some volume issues. However at least having a deadline made me stop tinkering. Blackshipradioshow by loumcgill So our show is a pirate [...]
