I have very limited knowledge of Open Educational Resources, although a majority of my course readings come from online sources. The access I have to these course readings are always through sites that require institutional membership (i.e the university), such as jstor, DAWSONERA, discovered, or EBSCOhost. I came across more difficulties while using Open.ed because … Continue reading Thing 12 – OER’s →

What might you find here
I’m in the process of reorganising my blog to make it easier to navigate. Rather than one long list of posts, you will find a space for personal exploration, and a space for my professional reflections. You will find a … Continue reading
Online Accessibility and the Question of Gender.
This is a topic which was brought to my attention recently, before looking at the content of ‘thing 6’. I was asked to participate in a meeting in India with a group of experienced professionals who were working to pull together information around sex and disabilities; two topics which are still relatively taboo in India. … Continue reading Online Accessibility and the Question of Gender. →
Thing 10 – Wikimedia
This is all very new to me – I only have heard/encountered a ‘wiki’ or ‘wikipedia’. As a student we were always warned against even looking at Wikipedia as it was deemed to be false and potentially misleading – however I find it helps as a first step to learn about something or someone – … Continue reading Thing 10 – Wikimedia
Thing9 – Google Hangouts/Collaborate Ultra
I have not heard of Google Hangout sbefore but am familiar with Collaborate – I have signed up for the live session on the 1st Feb and will hopefully be able to complete this blog then. What I do know, and what I enjoy is that Collaborate is an excellent platform for sharing information, especially … Continue reading Thing9 – Google Hangouts/Collaborate Ultra
Thing8 – Facebook
I have been a Facebook user since 2008 – and pride myself on using it before others as I learnt about it from my travels to America! Back then, it was about games though and it was a brilliant alternative to Bebo as you could view other profile without it tracking you… an important aspect … Continue reading Thing8 – Facebook
Thing7 – Twitter
Oh Twitter… how I hate thee….. but possibly, because I have never really sat down and tried to work out how it works and how to use it advantageously. I was immediately impressed with the post about how to find jobs through Twitter – there are some great tips in there and I plan to … Continue reading Thing7 – Twitter
Thing 6 – after a big gap
It’s been ages since I got on with this but hopefully will be able to continue more regularly. I checked out our department website with WAVE and found five alerts. It wasn’t easy to figure out what these were at first and I was surprised that some of them seem to refer to structural elements.…
Thing 11 – Copyright
I decided to skip a few “Things” because I wanted to cover the compulsory parts of the programme for my Edinburgh Award in Digital Content Creation first. However, I’m really hoping I can complete all 23Things before the semester is over. I decided to look for photos linking to one of my courses this semester, … Continue reading Thing 11 – Copyright →
Thing 2
This is the excerpt for your very first post.
Copyright and Creative Commons: Thing 11 of 23
The challenge this time around was to find two images I was using for a presentation in my field and doing a review of how they were licensed and what that means. In my enthusiasm I have gone a step farther. I have taken two images and then combin…
Thing 12 – OER #23things
I would like to share this course that I found on the MERLOT II, open educational resource platform. It is a course created originally by Prof. Thomas Herring of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It contains lecture notes, assignments and course m…
