Stuff I Can Do

Skills and capabilities that are also demonstrated by the stuff I have done

Making of a WordPress Based Presentation

March 29, 2015November 19, 2015 cogdog

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 […]

SPLOT By The Numbers

March 11, 2015 cogdog

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 You Show by the Insignificant Numbers

March 11, 2015March 13, 2015 cogdog

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 […]

TRU Writer as Platform for Web Journals

March 11, 2015 cogdog

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 […]

TRU Box By The Numbers

March 11, 2015 cogdog

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 […]

Do Not Be Limited by Reverse Chronological Order

March 11, 2015 cogdog

Something like 98.5% (a totally made up number) of WordPress sites are bloggy- a front page of posts arranged in reverse chronological order, be just a vertical stack or little square icons. Hence when I say “WordPress” most people see […]

The You Show Videos

March 9, 2015 cogdog

Probably the most rewarding thing Brian and I did on the You Show was our series of introductory videos. The ironic thing is that they are not even essential to the “content.” I’ve been thinking about that nearly all of […]

Reshaping This Thing

March 9, 2015 cogdog

Coming into my last week here at TRU I am hoping to get my portfolio site into shape to represent the four months here of my fellowship. I am very pleased with the capabilities of this Moesia Lite theme (a […]

Trying Visual Status Indicators for TRU Writer

March 5, 2015 cogdog

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 […]

Ideas Begatting Ideas

March 5, 2015 cogdog

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 […]

1000+ Photos

March 5, 2015 cogdog

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 […]

Share Images By Email to SPLOT Collector

March 2, 2015March 5, 2015 cogdog

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 […]

A Two Dog Theme Demo

Most of the time it’s intentional, but I do not always plan to use a dog metaphor. It just happens. In setting up the trubox multisite as a place for You Show participants to start their blogs, I came up […]
