Showcase #3
Today was Showcase #3. Much like Showcase #2, I showed some examples that demonstrates how our learning is designed to meet the unique needs of our learning cohort – our stuff is designed especially for working professionals, leaders, teachers, or even trainers. Tech education for clinical educators, or EDTECH as we refer to it, is a great example of a course where we invite participants to bring their own professional context to the course. Over each week of the course, participants learn about the how and why of particular technologies e.g., video, visual media and interactivity, but also the explore the underpinning learning theories of instructional design and how people…

Show, Demo & Inspo
I wanted a way for the team to easily share stuff (that inspires or demonstrates work they’ve done, and more) with each other that didn’t necessarily require them to identify themselves, if the didn’t want to. I chose Padlet because it’s quick, allows anonymous posting, we already have an account with them, and it does good job of managing all the embed types and making them look good, and works one all devices. The tagline is… Experienced something that resonates with you? Whatever it is, share it and inspire others!

Automation & Tooling – why not consider them as helpful colleagues and team members
For a while I’ve been thinking about how adopt a different approach to tooling in our team, beyond nameless and obtuse groups of tools built on google sheets that record and reveal information about our projects. I think there’s value in considering these tools more like colleagues and team members with position descriptions and real roles to perform. I also think there’s value in extending the metaphor to the point of giving these team members names, for fun and function. Meet the team Introducing Wanda, Dennis, Terry, Justin, Gordon, Velma, Valerie, Bruce and Pam – as google sheets and valued colleagues, their job is capture logistical information such as hours…

Seminar – Micro-credentials within the AQF: Who’s the winner here?
On Tuesday March 12, I attended the inaugural Victorian Edtech Seminar – ‘Micro-credentials within the AQF: Who’s the winner here?’ seminar hosted by Study Melbourne and Edugrowth. The seminar provides an opportunity for interested people to hear from an erudite panel of representatives from across the education and edtech sectors on a topic of growing importance in education and technology: micro-credentials. The focus of the inaugural seminar was micro-credentials within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), the national policy for regulated qualifications in Australian education and training. Why do we need to talk about this? The Australian Government is reviewing the AQF, and is currently exploring whether or not the AQF…

Jim talks about preparing students for a connected future, and everything else
Five years later, I was finally able to attend one of Jim’s talks in-person when he spoke about ‘preparing students for a connected future’ at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia.

Okay, but how do…

WIFI PASSENGER FLOW ANALYSIS TRIAL – Richmond Station
I’m interested in the teaching and learning as well as art applications of this technology. What’s interesting about this as an exercise is the wasted opportunity to celebrate and showcase respondents of their input into the data gathering and research process. Metro and Monash could have actively showcase the exercise by representing the number of passengers/users on the platform in a creative way, personally and publically – on their device and on large screens and through speakers. Doing this may mitigate some of the possible resistance by passengers who only find out about their contribution to research after the fact – they see a small sign that gives them an…
