SPLOT By The Numbers

by cogdog | posted in: From All Blogs, From TRU Participants, Syndicated | 0

Five. That’s it. Five SPLOTs (Smalles? Possible? Learning? Open? Tools?) created during my TRU Fellowship. But hear me out- it’s not about the tools. Repeat again… “It’s not about the tools” On the heels of the fellowship Brian Lamb and […]

TRU Writer as Platform for Web Journals

by cogdog | posted in: From All Blogs, From TRU Participants, Syndicated | 0

The SPLOT Tool I am most proud of is the TRU Writer- there is more to write later about how it represents the SPLOT idea. We made it first as an experiment in creating a rich publishing platform that people […]

Do Not Be Limited by Reverse Chronological Order
