Multilitteratus Incognitus

OK, Week 3 of OLDS MOOC is upon us. The topic: Ideate ! I've quickly gone through the overview for the week and it seems like quite interesting stuff! The one thing I see missing this week is a short, and a long path.  I guess I'll be forging my own from scratch ;-). Last week I forged my own, anyway, but the proposed paths were good so that I could see the intentions of the course designers. In any case, in addition to participating in at least 2 discussions in Week 3, I am thinking that I will be able to take part in: Activity 1: Thursday (20 minutes) Activity 2: Thursday, Friday or Saturday (30 minutes) Activity 3: Saturday or Sunday (30 minutes) Activity 4: Saturday or Sunday (15 minutes) Activity 10: Wednesday (15 minutes) For activity descriptions, see the link to the topic above. If I have time, I'd like to tackle: Activity 5: Monday-Tuesday (30 minutes) Activity 8: Monday-Tuesday (15 minutes) I suppose I already tackled part of activity 4 - here ...

Alright! This week I will make some goals for myself for my participation in OLDS MOOC! This week ( titled "inquire" ) focuses on context.  The introductory video for the week is at the end of this post. For those of you familiar with the Dick & Carey model , we are firmly in the "Analysis" Stages. As far as reading goes, I plan on getting acclimated to the Force Map , and exploring the Ecology of Resources Framework . As far as Personas go (the other big read it seems), I plan on skipping it.  I've worked with personas in my undergraduate work in my UI Design courses, in the MBA, MSIT, and to some extent in the MEd program in Instructional Design. I am keeping the resource handy, but I don't think I will be spending a lot of time on it. I plan on participating in at least two discussions in the google group.  I don't know which ones yet, but as I participate, I plan on posting them on my cloud . The element that I like about OLDS MOOC this ...

Hmmm...I was glancing over at my calendar telling me to work on DS106 the other day (an alarm that I set last spring for this summer), and I decided to head on over to DS106 and check it out...only to find out that it had started already (week 4 if I am not mistaken).  Oh well.  I missed the boat but not by much! So, this time I will take a queue from a few of my MOOC acquaintances and set goals.  I realize that I don't have enough time to partake in the full DS106 experience, so my goals for this summer, with regard to DS106, are the following: June: Every Tuesday and Thursday complete a Daily Create (to be posted on my tumblr photoblog ) July:  Every Tuesday and Thursday complete a Daily Create (to be posted on my tumblr photoblog) August: Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday complete a Daily Create (to be posted on my tumblr photoblog) If this goes well, in September I will undertake 2 assignments...and re-evaluate from there :) I am curious ...
