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.

Latest revision as of 10:57, 14 December 2014

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

Notepad:SPLOT

TRUbox

A sandbox for other TRU projects; multisite set up at http://trubox.ca

  • Set of potential themes for portfolios added, for use first by Open Learn ID teams
    • Working demo with fake content, and menu to switch between themes http://mickey.trubox.ca
    • Create blogs for ID staff, each of them could use a different theme, and as at a site that could be clones as a template (Use Wordpress plugin to clone a demo site for new users)
    • Create a working page for ID department, use Syndication from staff blogs

Research Stories

Under the knowledge mobilization banner why not create a TRU version of http://stories.cogdogblog.com - the theme is already built. Get your video crew to do short (3-5 minutes) with faculty, students- What their research means to them; what it means for other people.

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) Now recast as "You Show"- at http://youshow.trubox.ca/

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.


Use as parts of course:

What's the shitck? Metaphor? Theme? Studio? a band? Space Traveler? Get Smart? Use ds106 but not as overtly

  • 'Our Own Extras -- Narrating Out Loud the Work We Do Parallel with DVD Extras, compare the "movie" with the eduproduct- thesis, paper, lecture. What about the making of, the deleted scenes, the director's commentary?

~8 weeks? a Skeleton outline.

  • Monday: Introduce topic with post and video
  • Wednesday or Thursday: Schedule in person meetup
  • Tuesday, Friday: Open office hours
  • Sunday: Post weekly summaries
  • (0) Ramp up, prep / get ready. Set up a studio space- hosted TRU blog, Wordpress.com, Blogger, tumblr, or even self hosted. Twitter, Youtube or vimeo. Create Kumu account 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) Week of Jan 12 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) Week of Jan 19 Mobilizing Through Images photography, visual elements, power of captions
  • (3) Week of Jan 26 Mobilizing Through Visual Design elements of design
  • (4,5) Weeks of Feb 2 and 9 The Sound of Knowledge Mobilization audio (2 weeks) produce a mini documentary audio about your interest area
