A start of wiki ideas in a completely organic messy wiki-like structure. Eventually spin out and transclude it back in, baby.
Kumu
Generate participation, what can be a draw? Demo projects.
Media
How to leverage media more, create more use? What can be connected to, borrowed from Wikimedia Commons? Run a featured image in front page?
This is neat- links to random uploaded file Special:Random/File
SPLOT
Smallest Possible Learning Online Tools (blame Brian)
Lightweight, low overhead single purpose online tools that do not require logins, and thus location of hosting not an issue.
- Site home http://splot.ca Multisite wordpress where each sub site is new tool
- Blog posts http://cogdogblog.com/tag/splot
- Comparator (image comparing widget) http://splot.ca/comparator
- SPLOTting The Comparator http://cogdogblog.com/2014/10/31/splotting-the-comparator/
- Splaining SPLOT with the Comparator http://cogdogblog.com/2014/11/18/splaining-splot/
- Embed The Before/After Bed http://cogdogblog.com/2014/11/19/embed-the-beforeafter-bed/
Other Possibilities
- A simple generator to create medium/parallex type articles (see http://splot.ca/writer for a start)
- Wordpress hosted version of Pechaflickr http://pechaflickr.net
- Textualizer - create animated view of series of sentences. http://kiro.me/projects/textualizer.html
- Word Cloud effect http://www.jqueryscript.net/demo/Awesome-Tag-Cloud-Plugin-with-jQuery-Html5-Canvas-awesomeCloud/
- Some sort of graphing / data vis? http://code.shutterstock.com/rickshaw/
Open Journal Web Publishing
- Need to look more into PressBooks (Clint has set me up a demo account)
- Wordpress editor now much more friendly with accepting content pasted from MS Word- automaticalyl strips out all cruft and junk formatting, preserves basics of headings, lists, bold, italics.
- Possible way to enable WP editor in form http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_editor
The Notery
A platform for researchers, academics, teachers, students to share in lightvway way, their in process notes on how they solve problems, get inspired, etc.
Notes
- Options for posting to blog w/o using Jetpack plugin (avoid wordpress.com emails completely)
- Postie Plugin http://postieplugin.com/ (has settings for default categories, codes for doing images a bit more manual)
- Post by Email https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-by-email/
Blog Posts
- The Notery – An Idea for Shared Work Narrating http://cogdogblog.com/2014/11/23/the-notery/
Daily _______
Not quite splot, but develop a Wordpress Theme for anyone who wants to run a Daily challenge site like ds106 Daily Create http://tdc.ds106.us/ Responses to a DailyX would ne submitted by tweeting a reply to an account and including a link and a hashtag.
Storytelling
Move from one shot workshop mentality, run a version of ds106 as a local/open PD series. Maybe its a seminar, or a cohort, or a working group, or a studio.
Mobilizing Knowledge via Digital Media and Narrative (yuck) Communicating the processes and outcomes of academic research to a general audience calls for both attracting interest and delivering important information (cite Randy Olson, Don't be Such a Scientist). Use methods of story arc, internet based media to spread both awareness and interest. Blah blah on managing a digital presence and participating in a larger community.
The structure is not a class. Regular suggestions distributed via web site for activities of practice, reflection, investigation into creating messages in transmedia (argh) forms. SO content/"assignments" are put out in advance, work is done independently, but networked via syndicated blogs to a hub (can be ds106, or can be one we run here). Regular in person meetings scheduled as means to convene, share, and support. Additional "drop in" lab hours as needed.
What's the shitck? Metaphor? Theme? Studio? a band? Space Traveler? Get Smart? Use ds106 but not as overtlyy
~8 weeks? a Skeleton outline.
- (0) Ramp up, prep / get ready. Set up a studio space- hosted TRU blog, Wordpress.com, Blogger, tumblr, or even self hosted. Not about learning blogging. (use bootcamp prep units 1 & 2 http://ds106.us/open-course/unit-1-bootcamp/ and http://ds106.us/open-course/unit-2-more-bootcamp/ Prompt questions about interest area, how typical communication of ideas happens, how wide is the circle you communicate with about this work? How do you explain to your family?
- (1) Arcs and Shapes in story why entertainment works. What is share of reveal in a paper? a conference presentation? Audience. Expectations. Listening to audio.
- (2) Mobilizing Through Images photography, visual elements, power of captions
- (3) Mobilizing Through Visual Design elements of design
- (4,5) The Sound of Knowledge Mobilization audio (2 weeks)
- (6,7) Video (2 weeks)
- (8) Remix some sort of final
