Today I participated in the Trainer and assessor currency program. I had completed the Certificate IV Training and Assessment in 2010, so taking part in the program will help to make sure my qualification stays current. It’s also a requirement under Standard 1 of the AQTF guidelines for vocational education and training (VET) practitioners who […]
On July 16th I joined Giulia Forsythe, Ben Rimes, Jason Green, Zach Dowell, Bryan Jackson and Jim Groom in a friendly discussion lead by Tim Owens about Google+ using it’s Hangout feature. The new features of Google+ were discussed and how they could be used in an educational/storytelling context. Interesting stuff. Unfortunately, I had technical problems (Hangout and […]
Rough workflow for a branching scenario activity. The learner is required to make a decision, they’re prompted with hint/extra information to help them make decision. Learner makes decision. Feedback is provided based on the learner’s decision. My revised branching scenario, a day later. Another revised branching scenario, a day later.
Today I learned an important lesson about asking questions. My questions weren’t being answered, let alone being answered incorrectly. The lesson remains the same. I shouldn’t have just asked “What do you mean?” I should have rephrased the question to something like “When you say X do you mean Y?” Hopefully, I would’ve at least […]
Originally created as three part just-in-time MMS for my friend, this instructional video demonstrates how you can quickly fix the chassis of your inline skate. [wpvideo qCr0Teh6] This technique is not a glamorous or permanent fix, but a practical and affordable temporary solution that will allow you to get back on your skates as soon […]
Just finished the eT@lking: A Google gathering session. The session was well attended, with many examples of how Google Apps can be used in a creative educational context. Some of the Google apps mentioned by presenters were: Google Maps Street view story – Tell a story about a location or what happened at a location. […]
A public conversation with myself about learning is a collection and reflection on some of @todd_conaway’s tweets from #silt2011. One of the most interesting things for me is the familiarity of themes expressed in his tweets. Learning objectives with real-world application of skills, learning outcomes and competency based completion are all staple objectives in the […]
Concept sketch for a persistent location based ambient sound layer. The ambient sound layer will leverage location data (google maps, directions), photographs (Flickr, Twitpic etc), text (blog posts, wikipedia, annotation, comments via Twitter). The ambient sound layer is designed for mobile devices. Relationships between sound recordings can be created (For example, the same type of […]

Scrawlin’ out the structure and sequence of an learning object is one of my favourite parts of the planning process.
I use drawings to complement my learning resource scripts. I try to give as much information as possible to the development team. Sometimes it helps.
There always needs to be something to drive the learner through a learning resource. A thematically relevant scenario or problem that ‘wraps’ the content and assessment is a good way to engage the learner cohort. This method is not without it’s own problems. Not every learner wants a narrative embedded in their learning. Some learners […]
Puttin’ a concept down on paper is one of the first things I do when I start to plan the design of an interaction. A simple pen drawing is immediate and it allows colleagues to see the flow of the interaction ‘that’s inside my head’. The drawing can be then used as the basis for […]

The Australia Series are Elluminate events held at Australia-friendly times and are largely organised by and for Australian educators/professionals. The ‘Developing learning […]
