Day 5: Personal project update

A brief documentation of progress on my personal project.

ADDIE Process

Academic resource consulted

The Five Resources of Critical Digital Literacy: A framework for curriculum integration, Hinrichsen & Coombs (2013)

My project

Follow the link to see what I'm attempting to do with one of my module frameworks: #EngCS in 2017. (I might restrict access to members of this year's PGCE class later on.)

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?

Day 4: Class notes

Video review

Looking back at the videos we produced yesterday, and engaging in constructive feedback discussions.

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).

Day 3: Practicals

Group Activity 1

Find a bad educational video.
Group: Reginald, Anthony, and Willie.

Comment: Camera work is unstable, sound is inconsistent, content is cringe-worthy. Message/purpose is lost (on the audience)?

Day 3: Class notes

Something from our (digital) world:

I want a Myo!!!

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.

Day 2: Practicals

Reflection: Day 1

*Still getting used to Mezirow's work.

(see Mezirow, J. (1990). How critical reflection triggers transformative learning. Fostering critical reflection in adulthood, 1, 20.)

Content Reflection: Day 1 introduced us to the practice of Participlanning (participatory planning), which I am eager to experiment with in my teaching. This might be an interesting way to co-design an open syllabus with one of my classes. (Note to self: check for scaling.) Starting up a(nother) blog is exciting!

Process Reflection: Actively participating in the class really does add a lot of value to my experience thereof. Staying on task is a lot easier when the motivation to do so is both intrinsic (my own identity work) and extrinsic (course outcomes as well as dissertation and module requirements).

Critical Reflection: Consciously looking for angles and intersections that could improve my own work, projects and scholarship helps keep me critically engaged. Bringing my preparation work (for the teaching year ahead) into the #sudigitalscholar course seems to be a "good risk" to take.

The Digital Scholar: Day 1

Reflection to follow...

Look! You can see Africa in the sticky-notes!!

First, some preliminary notes (PNI) to structure my thinking:

P – ParticiPlan(ning) an interactive analog planning process mapping out participant perceptions and expectations.

N – For some reason the ADA Summer School wifi network doesn't like Macbooks :(

I – Designing a personal project based on your own Big Idea™
