Well that’s me started on Edinburgh University’s 23 Things for Digital Knowledge course. Not sure what I expect to get out of it, other than perhaps confirmation that I’m a digital dinosaur who probably needs more than a mere 23 things to become even vaguely digitally-savvy. Still – that’s two ‘things’ done already, including my first ever blog, so a good … Continue reading Things Ahoy! →

Excellence in research (aka. research ethics and integrity) training
Being on the universities research ethics and integrity review group (REIRG) has me pondering how I, as an academic developer, can make training on research ethics and integrity effective. The way I see it, no training is effective until: the participant sees the need for the training, the training is flexible enough to allow all … Continue reading Excellence in research (aka. research ethics and integrity) training
Thriving for a new balance
Something hard to maintain in my working life as a learning technologist is the thing called ‘balance’. On a daily basis, there seems to be too much technology and not enough learning. When software developers work hard on improving their products, it’…
Google Maps Timeline & Digital Security
I’ve been (slowly) working my way through the 23 Things List, a project on digital literacy from the University of Edinburgh. Thing number 4 was Digital Security. While we include Web Security in a lot of our digital literacy prorams, I’m not a huge WebSec person. It’s not something that I think about or worry […]

Open Educational Resources for Bullying and Mental Health (23 Things – Thing 12)
Thing 12 from 23 Things focuses on Open Educational Resources (OERs). For an educational resource to be Open, it needs to be “Open data and content can be freely used, modified, and shared by anyone for any purpose” (The Open Definition). We were tasked with finding OERs that were relevant to Read more…

Digital Footprint
As part of the 23 Things MOOC from the University of Edinburgh, I did a little bit of searching today to see what my digital footprint looks like. I have an extremely common name, so most of what I found with a Google search was links for information about Jon Stewart and links for the […]

Digital Knowledge MOOC
This week I registered for an open, online class called 23 Things for Digital Knowledge offered out of the University of Edinburgh. I’m currently planning out my own digital literacy course for next summer, so I signed up mostly to see what they’ve focused on and how they tie it all together. For my own […]

Copyright and Creative Commons (23 Things – Thing 11)
Thing 11 is about understanding copyright and creative commons. As a recreational artist (and blogger, can I call myself that?), I have a bit of an idea about copyright and creative commons. As an academic, I am a firm believer in sharing knowledge and knowledge being freely shareable. Thus, you Read more…

Thing 4
After a bit of a gap in my 23 things journey, I’m back to it with Digital Security. Digital security isn’t something I’ve probably given enough thought to in the past. I am a reserved and suspicious person by nature so tend not to dive into signing up for apps willy nilly. As a parent … Continue reading Thing 4
