H5P and Pressbooks, a Brief Highlight Reel
The funny thing about portfolios is that they both capture pieces of work, but fall out of date relatively quickly. At least that’s my experience with them. I’ve created portfolios for teaching, for graduate school, for industrial arts projects, for hobby business related things (like the pen turning), and for instructional design and educational technology.…
Embracing seiryoku zen’yō for H5P Video Without Youtube
Today I ran into this post from Alan Levine, Google Sheet Karate Moves for Swapping H5P Video From YouTube to Kaltura. If you’re familiar with H5P you’ll know that one of the content types is includes is interactive video. This content type allows you to add bookmarks, questions, hotspots, etc. to video. I think when…
Adventures Docking in the Cloud
At my first Judo club part of the warm-ups always consisted of ne-waza (ground work, sort of like wrestling if you’re unfamiliar with Judo). Sensei would stress that during this part of the warm-up you should not be going all out, which is much harder to understand at lower belt levels. There are two main…
How long does it take to develop an online course?
This post is sponsored by How Long is a Piece of String industries. Leafing through my RSS feed this morning I encountered a post on Christy Tucker’s blog, How long does it take to develop an online course? | UT Dallas eLearning Team. If you’re familiar with Christy’s blog, you’ll recognize that the question “how long does it…
Adapting your course authoring frame of mind
Don’t worry, I’ll keep naming everything to do with my exploration of the Adapt Authoring Tool as “adapting” something. If you have puns to suggest I’m all ears. Over the past few years I’ve loaded course materials into a number of different systems, mostly LMSs. The first LMS I ever used was Blackboard “classic experience”…
Wiki vs Web Graffiti
Earlier this week I was in a conversation with some colleagues about annotation activities. If I recall, the question raised was if anyone on the call had seen an effective use of class annotation activities. Now, I know there has been a lot of talk about annotating the web with hypothes.is, that it is integrated…
Command Line, Again?
Well, I’m wishing I had been the kind of person to “read head” right about now. Currently I just wrapped up my fourth course at OCADu’s Continuing Ed Program in UX and Webdesign and my most recent class looked at some topics regarding PHP and Dynamic web design. Mostly we looked at php, but the…
Breath of Fresh Air – Wiki JS in the Clouds
Been on the hunt for good open source wiki software for a long time. Wiki.js seems to be exactly that, slick and polished. https://t.co/934Xozi7fX So of course I built an installer for Reclaim Cloud https://t.co/VR6enLlStt — timmmmyboy (@timmmmyboy) July 8, 2020 This was not on my original list of things to check out in Reclaim…
Head in the Clouds with Adapt
On July 2nd I was able to join in on the beta testing of Reclaim Hosting’s new experiment, Reclaim Cloud. If you haven’t been following Jim Groom’s or Tim Owens’ blogs about Reclaim Cloud, they recorded a Reclaim Today episode about it. What’s different about this Reclaim Today recording is that it was done with…
Hostile Instructional Design
So, the other day on Twitter I saw an article about another Canadian city that was employing sound in public spaces to drive away anyone who might camp there over night. It was specifically targeted at the homeless as you might have guessed. The use of this kind of urban design is pretty disgusting, and…
