Skills and capabilities that are also demonstrated by the stuff I have done
The last semi-official act of my fellowship was a presentation made with Brian Lamb for BCCampus Open Education Week. Also billed as a TIE talk, it was hosted and live streamed at the University of Victoria (waiting on the video […]
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 […]
The working title for this post has been “What Might Be Working when It Looks Like Nothing is Working.” I plan to throw out some numbers that are insignificant not by their values, but because they really do not tell […]
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 […]
In November of 2014 Brian and I had already set up our first multisite host for projects here for the SPLOT projects. During a December meeting with the Open learning Instructional Designers we were discussing ideas about them doing work […]

It’s exciting to see some applications of the SPLOT TRU Writer tool. TRU English prof Ken Simpson has two sections of his courses using instances made for each class: We are set to let another group of computer science students […]
Do you remember in the Old Testament all that begat action? And Arphaxad begat Shelah; which himself engendered Eber. (And Arphaxad begat Shelah; and Shelah begat Eber.) Really, you remember? You were there? In terms of ideas or bits of […]
I’ve been doing a daily habit of taking and posting photos to my flickr account since 2008 (where I post one selected to represent the best each day), and maintained the habit in my time at TRU. It’s easy when […]
The SPLOT Image Collector has found resonance as a useful tool to build shared image collections. I’ve modified the admin options so a site owner can decided which of the fields they want on the form (and even designate them […]
