I have taken the plunge and joined LinkedIn. I’ve been thinking about it for a while after receiving invitations from a couple of groups I was interested in. I haven’t joined before, partly because I’m… More

Thing 12: Open Educational Resources
The small number of OERs from the College of Medicine on Open.Ed may reflect the difficulties in presenting clinical education online, although an online MSc with which I was involved does use a number of the Henry Stewart Lectures. Surgical skills and Global Health have paved the way in opening up Edinburgh Medicine online. I … Continue reading Thing 12: Open Educational Resources
Mission accomplished
I proudly present my Open Badge for completing the course.
Thing 14 – Podcasts
I like podcasts, and used to subscribe to quite a few. I stopped listening so frequently when I changed mobile phone, which seems a bit silly as setting them up on the new phone wouldn’t have taken much effort. I do still make sure I always catch the Thinking Allowed podcast which I am a…
23 Things for Digital Knowledge 2016
Thanks to this 23 Things course, I have just been awarded my very first open badge. Chuffed!
Thing 19: Altmetrics
I installed the Altmetric bookmarklet in my browser. As I don’t work in research I was a bit stumped as to which paper I should analyse, in the end I decided to look at one… More
Week 18 – Augmented and Virtual reality
Starting this task by having a look at the SketchFab website, which contains images from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies at the University of Edinburgh. The images on here were really impressive and an advantage was that they could be viewed without a headset. I also downloaded Incell which still worked well even though … Continue reading Week 18 – Augmented and Virtual reality
Thing 17 – Geocaching
At first I had a look at the Walking through Time app and had a play about with the different maps available. Even though it was not a finished product I felt it had lots of potential – especially if it was expanded to other cities. It is fairly easy to use and look forward to hearing … Continue reading Thing 17 – Geocaching
Thing 9 : Google Hangout
I have been using google hangout since 2012. Contacting various peoples using it. I used it a lot when sharing my screen through the chats…
Reflection
Were there Things that you particularly enjoyed? I particularly enjoyed Things 21 ‘Online Games and Learning’ and 22 ‘Fun and Play’ because they were games and fun. I also enjoyed Thing 14 ‘Audio – Podcasts and SoundCloud’ because I have recently been getting into and listening to all different kinds of podcasts. Was there a … Continue reading Reflection →
Thing 20 – Professional Social Networks (LinkedIn)
I’ve had a LinkedIn account for a long time. In fact, if the truth be told, I was surprised to read that it only started in 2010, which means it can’t be that old. I’ve never really spent much time on it; finding that when I have logged in I’ve been bombarded with requests to…
Thing 14, Soundcloud
Already a longtime iTunes podcast subscriber (great for long dog walks) and a soundcloud user, I feel happily a bit ahead of the game on this one. However, my soundcloud use to date had been exclusively to follow my sons’ musical endeavours (as their band the Carvelles as well as solo magic such as this– check… Continue reading Thing 14, Soundcloud
