Another SPLOTability: The Brancher

November 26, 2014February 25, 2015 cogdog

Out of a great meeting today arranged by Michelle Harrison with a group of TRU Instructional Designers, came a new idea for our SPLOT collection. Blame/credit Brian Lamb. But it would facilitate a space where someone could seed the beginning […]

The Storybox Materializes at ETUG

November 26, 2014March 10, 2015 cogdog

Two weeks ago I was in Vancouver for the ETUG Fall 2014 Workshop, what a great gathering and with their un-conference format, a refreshing experience from the typical conference grueling treadmill present-o-rama format. I was not sure I would stand […]

All Your WordPress Option Are Belong to Us

November 24, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

There might be some value in my sloppy keyboarding skills beyond humorous typos and misplaced punctuation that drives Sandy Brown Jensen batty. I just mistyped a WordPress URL and cracked a lid on something. I even forget know why I […]

The Notery – An Idea for Shared Work Narrating

November 23, 2014February 25, 2015 cogdog

Insert here placeholder for dogfooding metaphor That’s my weak play at irony. I’m fleshing out an idea for a project I hope to start tinkering with; normally I might want to have a bit more to show before talking about […]

Embed The Before/After Bed

November 19, 2014February 25, 2015 cogdog

Trying here a test of my Comparator Tool blogged/flogged yesterday. While brushing my teeth last night, the idea came to me I was thinking about doing this the wrong way- an iframe is the route. Let’s see if this works. […]

Splaining SPLOT with the Comparator

November 18, 2014February 25, 2015 cogdog

creative commons licensed ( BY-SA ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I knew my photos from the Gopher Hole Museum would come in handy one day! Blame D’Arcy Norman, he sent me there. Advanced warning of a long scrolling post […]

The Googling Eye: Mashup Poster Re-Deconstucted

November 9, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

Of all the creative assignments from DS106 (of which there are more than 730, that is so un-massive) maybe my favorites are the re-edits of movie posters. If any institution ever wanted a class taught in remixing old movie posters… […]

Wikishoot (and that *thing* about wikis)

November 6, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

creative commons licensed ( BY-NC-ND ) flickr photo shared by ·S That thing about sensing good light also applies to links. And the people who are linking them. Sometimes, you just get a good intuition. Wiki ShootMe looks like a […]

Plotting WordPress Jam Sessions

November 3, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

creative commons licensed ( BY-NC-ND ) flickr photo shared by kennysarmy Batted around last week via email amongst my new TRU colleagues was the idea of perhaps hosting a Kamloops based WordCamp in early 2015. I definitely like the idea, […]

Flickr CC Attribution Helper for WordPressers (and accidental github ecosystem)

November 3, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

Right there is a test of new flavor of my flickr cc attribution helper where it generates copy/paste code to put the image in a wordpress post, but place the attribution text in a WordPress image caption structure. This is […]

SPLOTting The Comparator

October 31, 2014March 5, 2015 cogdog

SPLOT! Hah. Blame Brian Lamb for the acronym (despite twitter banter, I like it) for an idea to frame some project ideas for my stint here at Thompson Rivers University. The idea is Simplest Possible Learning Online Tools, things that […]

What the SPLOT?

October 28, 2014January 30, 2015 cogdog

I might have snickered a little the first time Brian suggested SPLOT as a name for a group of projects I’d work on here at TRU. It was either Smallest Practical Learning Online Tool or Simplest Possible Learning Open Tool […]

The You Show Videos

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 […]

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 […]
