Day 5: Personal project update
A brief documentation of progress on my personal project.
Reflection: Day 4
You guessed it, first some notes (PNI) to structure my thinking:
P – Opportunity to practice and learn together is of immense value!
N – Presentations via Skype do not work well. Perhaps consider creating a video of your presentation, and opening up a video-conferencing platform for discussion after the video has been watched? (NB to consider network-platform compatibility, e.g. Google server hosted on TENET.)
I – Personal equipment seem to trump professional equipment for our purposes. Perhaps focus more on pre/post-production skills?

Reflection: Day 3
You guessed it, first some notes (PNI) to structure my thinking:
P – Exploring how video can work for Research, Education and Science Communication – intersections! Also, making our own videos was great fun :D
N – Issues of access and quality. Barriers in terms of cost of entry/participation.
I – Opportunities such as AVLM 2017, and trying out post-production on YouTube (after hours).

Comment: Camera work is unstable, sound is inconsistent, content is cringe-worthy. Message/purpose is lost (on the audience)?
Reflection: Day 2
As before, some preliminary notes (PNI) to structure my thinking:
P – Curation of a professional profile (in the context of multiple digital identities). ADA WiFi is Mac-friendly now :) ADDIE design in terms of our personal projects helped clarify considerations and practicalities of what we plan to do and how.
N – Networking do's and dont's – especially when it comes to open digital scholarship – needs deeper exploration. How does what we share influence the ownership/novelty/value of our scholarly work? (Dissertations/articles in terms of University requirements and journals?)
I – Creating digital content and the services available to us at our institutions.
