Weeks 19,20,21 in Review

I’m a bit behind on my Weeks in review, partly because some of it I can’t really blog about, I was sick, or I was working on stuff I’ve already blogged about.

Open Ed 2015:  Our abstract was accepted, to my surprise quite honestly, since as a reviewer for some of the submissions I happened to notice there were a lot of really good submissions. Really good.  So I’m pleased, and we’ll do our best to make sure our research and presentation is awesome.

Guadalajara project:  In addition to @cogdog, @brlamb, @bkiddjibc, @ken_bauer (as coach), we added @nancywhite to our teaching and development team.  I’m elated at how this is shaping up.  We may add one more instructor, possibly from the University of Guadalajara.

Microlearning:  We’ve been moving towards looking at how series of small, mini micro-learning courses can be delivered and managed within a WordPress environment (with or without Learndash). Our Centre’s @denniskyip mocked something up that looks really promising.  Really appreciating his rapidly developing WordPress skills.

Things that wow’d me:  via @therealbanksy, how gorgeous is this?

Also, empathy cards for people with serious illness.  I’ve been surrounded by a lot of colleagues and friends with cancer this last year, and all of these @emilymcdowell_ empathy cards are so great.

These are good. Empathy cards for serious illness. http://t.co/GBYKle9tJp pic.twitter.com/cYvA9zdH5p
