ds106: ds106 radio – Field recordings
The goal of my ongoing ds106 field recording is to document and share the sound story of the city of Melbourne with ds106 radio listeners. I try to record the environment as succinctly and accurately as possible. I have recorded and shared the sound of my surroundings prior to ds106 radio, but I never provided …
DS106: Radio DS106 – Station IDs (Bumpers)
DS106 now has a streaming radio station! The radio station streams content uploaded by ds106 participants. Pretty cool. Inspired, I decided to make a few station IDs or Bumpers, or whatever you cal them in your jurisdiction. They’re something short and sharp that would hopefully shed a little light on exactly what the listener was …

Concept: A simple procedure (revisited)
A diagram that describes the workflow of an activity. The activity requires the learner to identify and evaluate an organisation’s workplace procedures. This diagram optimises the previous simple procedure.
LAK11: Week 1 – Playing around with Hunch
One of the activities for the first week of the Learning and Knowledge Analytics (LAK11) course was to create a Hunch account and play around with it. If you’re not familiar with Hunch, a simple way to explain it would be a ‘survey that makes suggestions based on your answers’. I answered around 50 questions …
ds106: Week 2 – No more digital facelifts. We need a new digital face.
Gardner Campbell’s article A Personal Cyberinfrastructure calls for a complete reshaping of course curriculum. Course curriculum needs more than just an application of technology stapled on like a digital facelift. It needs a new digital face. That face is a personal cyberinfrastructure. Personal cyberinfrastructure provides learners with an online presence. A place where they can …

Scrawlin’ out the structure and sequence of an learning object is one of my favourite parts of the planning process.
Warming up for ds106
I’m warming up for the digital storytelling (ds106) online course by conducting some animated gif tests. Image sequence sampled from the animated film Akira. The ds106 online course commences Jan 10. I can’t wait! Here we can see Tetsuo having a bit of a hard time after coming into contact with Takashi (タカシ, codename #26).
Representing ‘real life’ elements on screen
Interactions based on the ‘compliant completion of documentation’ are a resource development staple. They always present an interesting challenge. Representing a ‘real life’ element (paperwork, document, forms, pro-forma) on screen in a meaningful way. This drawing describes how a interaction that requires the learner to complete an ‘OHS action plan’ could be represented on screen.
Concept: As much information as possible
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.
Concept: Who you drivin’ now?
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 …
Concept: Puttin’ it down on paper
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 …
