  • Multimedia, multimodal: rip, mix, replay

    I gave a paper at Osgoode Professional Development (OPD) yesterday, on ‘Multimedia learning: 2002-18: A case study across a century of digital learning’ – slides beneath the Slides tab above.  Our focus in the workshop was the design of a set of multimedia resources in 2002/4 at the Glasgow Graduate School of Law (GGSL), and…

  • Vivien Holmes, Pamela Taylor-Barnett: The power of narrative – immersive video/audio work with students

    Vivien and Pamela presented on the work they’re doing on using video clips to enhance the approaches taken by Mary Gentile in her educational design work and in her fine book, Giving Voice to Values.  The video excerpts, produced in ANU College of Law, are well-acted, short piece-to-camera, direct and powerful. Students watch them, then…

  • Simulated Client Workshop, London, 2.6.17

    It’s the Simulated Client (SC) workshop today, which I previewed here.  Some great sessions planned, lots of interactivity over lunch, and more thereafter.  We kick off with a plenary from Roger Kneebone, who I met at the National Teaching Fellow dinner back in 2011 purely by chance, and found we shared an enthusiasm for simulation…

  • Sirious stuff

    I see Siri’s in the news again — there’s now a proxy available.  An earlier article commented on the use of Siri, saying he or she (she from now on) mostly has been quizzed on her relationship with Hal 9000 (she won’t discuss it), asked for stories (she has one to tell, if pushed) and deluged with requests for illegal…

  • Recently…

    Long time no blog!  I'm thinking of moving platform, and about to start that soon (the task of shifting old posts is non-trivial, as I've discovered), but meantime there are so many interesting happening.  I've been on research leave since February, and the routine has been scribbling scribbling (digitally) in my wee room at home,…

  • JISC Learning & Teaching Experts meeting, Birmingham

    Great meet-up, as always.  Dizzying number of fascinating projects.  The day's slides and resources available here.  Too fast & furious to live blog, too busy taking it all in and applying to my own practice.  Most were not cutting-edge applications, but they were imaginative, carefully-planned implementations of technology that can inspire you to adapt and…
