Narrating and Demonstrating the Work We Do
In a recent US study, almost 71 % of academic leaders see online learning as a crucial part of their long-term strategy. Yet only 28% of the faculty value online learning and find it a legitimate educational model (http://tiny.cc/6equtx). I would not be surprised if our Canadian numbers stacked up similarly. If so, then this … Continue reading Is online learning valuable and legimitate? →
My previous post, the results of the photo safari, was a bit of a parallax-gasm, no? If you are wondering, parallax is that funky effect that has the background and foreground of a post moving at different speeds. It creates a nice illusion of depth on the page and can be done really well. I’m […]

I’ve been arguing with setting up my menus to show portfolio pages as enabled by JetPack and can’t find what is going on. Everything works fine dong so on another blog I host, but not here. Also, I have an idea on how to make presentations more engaging AND accessible after the fact. The idea […]
One particular problem looms large when I think about doing or learning anything new: There is so much out there, where shall I begin?
Today, I received/synthesized some understanding why this happens (to me). I overheard a comment of a participant on The Current (daily radio show on CBC) to the effect that learning happens on the edges of what we know.
I reflected back on ready of a couple decades past (Gleick, Chaos Theory) which revealed (invented?) the notion that coastlines are of infinite length because of the existence of fractals where the water meets the land: The more you zoom in on the intersection, the more detailed (and longer) the revealed coast is.
I think this is relevant to my awareness of how ignorant I am (and how infinite the starting points for any (learning) project). Sigh…
I received some good feedback on my post structuring my show, specifically to do with using categories and tags for different levels of the hierarchy. As I look at Alan’s advice in light of my proposed structure, it seems that… Continue Reading →
I’d like to focus my efforts during The You Show towards creating a platform for my work, reflections, learning and such. My intent is to end up with a media-rich portfolio/cv that can include elements from my research, plans, projects… Continue Reading →
