Websites I like
Recently, my colleague Zack Lee and I have been collaborating on a couple of website design projects. These are design by committee projects and (since we work with such engaged and smart people) it is not nearly as painful as it sounds. A couple of strategies that have worked well so far: consider the motivations … Read more
Learning design is…
I have been thinking about defining what I do, partly because it seems so close to the role of instructional design and (in some circles) the terms are interchangeable. So I’m putting the question out to you. What is learning design, in your opinion?
Digital Tattoo: short interview
Recently, Trish Rosseel, my colleague and co-conspirator on the Digital Tattoo project were asked by Steve Dotto to do an interview for his radio show/podcast series. Steve is a big supporter of the project, so it was a pleasure to chat with him-however briefly- about the site. Here’s the short interview:
Privacy and the Cloud
On Monday, I attended a meeting hosted by BCcampus on issues related to the use of social media and other “cloud” based services in BC’s post-secondary institutions. The intended goal (actually there was more than one) was to bring people together in discussion with representatives from BC’s Office of the Privacy Commissioner to get some … Read more

Found this groovy little film while surfing around on Prelinger Archives and couldn’t resist it. It offers a look at the basement beginnings of coffee culture among students in the 60s! Happening gathering places for students who may be on the fringes of counterculture but not yet part of the beatnik scene. Great footage, interviews … Read more
My most favorite thing…leads to my least favorite thing
My most favorite thing about my job is when I have the opportunity to facilitate a great discussion. I got the chance to do this, World Cafe style recently with colleague Jan Johnson and assisted by our intrepid co-op student Victor Ng. We posed 2 questions to learners and teachers on separate occasions: what are … Read more
Empathy and Digital Citizenship
I feel like sounding an alarm bell on this one. Our collective capacity for empathy seems to be diminishing and the evidence is mounting. Consider the recent Vancouver story of a brutal rape that was photographed by a bystanding teen and shared on Facebook. What was he thinking? Or was he? Clearly, the lack of … Read more
Resource Management Framework
or small pieces thoughtfully joined. Whether you choose an open resource management framework (like the one my colleagues Novak, Brian and I described at ETUG 2010) or a closed CMS, you’ll likely want to consider workflow – how to author and update in one place and syndicate to many, how to aggregate and join small … Read more
Mapping Continued
Here are a few observations and updated resources from a recent workshop I delivered on mindmaps and concept maps. The goal was to have people try out the process (on paper), consider advantages/disadvantages of online formats and experiment with a few online tools. Workshop outline (using Novamind) – (which is a good personal tool, less … Read more
