- …is considering the audience experience from the moment they: see, hear, interact with the resource, to the last time they interact with it.Much like when buildings are designed. Its more than just bricks and mortar, the spaces consider the uses.Photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/streamishmc/2340150187/
- Teaching staff and support staff are now in the business of creating interactive experiences.Book reference: Linchpin, Seth Godin, p85http://www.flickr.com/photos/tidymind/4327717486/Photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/storem/349222636/
- Potential benefits are for both the creator as well as the consumerPhoto credit http://www.flickr.com/photos/tinker-tailor/4285598900/
- Benefits of digital mediaInteraction – we can design and/or steer the interactions with learnersAdditional context – We can now produce lots of material that further supports ideas in the classroom – think hyper-linking but with multimedia not just text-based.Enhance learning – Multimedia creates new opportunities for ways of teaching Repurposing – For learners much of the outcomes can be used as evidence for further learning/employers. For staff there is scope to use learners work for informing future cohorts and ot share with colleagues
- We can use multimedia to support our PLEs.Couldn’t come to Plymouth and not cite Steve could we!
- Backup the backup and then backup again. Photo credit http://www.flickr.com/photos/antphotos/4323319972/
- It is our duty to understand our audience and delivery resources that reflect their skills and resource. If the learners all have smartphones, take advantage – if not then don’t.
- Why are we building any resourcesImage credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/antphotos/3489600094/in/set-72157604378784834/
- Its quite rare to have 100% of our user base in front of us on a weekly basis. Use some of the time to get to know them better. http://carsonified.com/blog/design/how-to-understand-your-users-with-personas/
- Many of you here will check work email.Eventually you start to do other work related ‘stuff’ and so do/will learners.Stats:http://efoundations.typepad.com/efoundations/2010/03/mobile-use-at-edinburgh.html
- This added value should lead to better results.

- Stat from http://blog.mozilla.com/metrics/2010/04/05/firefox-page-load-speed-%E2%80%93-part-ii/Measuring allows us to benchmark our results which then can then use to do something else
- WORKBOOK story: I used a workbook, and though most folk left it behind, I thought it was useful… until I asked the next cohort and they said they didn’t need it, just the urls.. So I swapped to a Google document with clickable links and now everybody is happy – no more out of date info and a added benefit is a saving on scheduling the prints and on print cost.
- Even when you have produced a good resource there is room for improvement – Just look at F1The above graphic is displayed during practice, qualifying and the race. It displays live location and car data so that the team can look for improvements. http://mclaren.com/home

- IPSGA is a system of riding used by IAM.We ride to this system EVERYTIME we go out. It allows us to have a plan that we can adapt at any moment. If we make a mistake then we can measure this as we are constantly checking against our “measures of success”.
