Daily Create Leaderboard 1/1/23 I first did a Daily Create on 19th March 2016, and I’ve been doing it daily for years now. As of this morning I have completed 2465 challenges. Sometimes, when I have a bit of spare time, I look back at ones I missed and fill in the gaps. I had hoped to end 2022 with a final tally of 2500, and I came pretty close. So what will my challenge be for 2023? To do […]

Dad giving his father of the bride speech. Some people walk around talking to themselves, the world at large, or anyone who might listen. Others of us blog. I often use this space to work out what I am thinking by writing out my thoughts – as Laurel Richardson says, writing can itself be a method of enquiry. Other times I write out the words that have been occupying my thoughts because they keep repeating themselves to me until I […]
“Rainbow at Mugdock Castle” flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA) license For the third year running, some of us have collaborated on a calendar to brighten our days and walls in 2023. I have loved every one of these collaborations, and I think that this is the best of all so far. It’s available on the CLMooc blog as pdf and Google slides. We hope you enjoy it. The image in this blog post is my […]

Over the last few months Wendy and I have been doing some thinking about the calendars we’ve collaborated over in CLMooc for 2021 and 2022. We’ve written a short report which is published as part of the ASCILITE conference proceedings, and Wendy presented at the conference last weekend. You can see the slides below, and the abstract of the report. Abstract Can collaborative creativity help to connect digital practitioners with each other and enhance their well-being? In order to answer […]

I recently attended a webinar [Meet & Eat] Autoethnography in Online Doctoral Education which I very much enjoyed. One of the presenters asked a question of the audience that got me thinking, and I am really thinking out loud as I write this post: How do we challenge an autoethnography? How do we challenge personal experience? I answered briefly in the chat to say that I would not challenge any one else’s interpretation, but rather I would offer my own […]
“Lurker” flickr photo by NomadWarMachine shared under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA) license In my last post I shared a quote from Joanne McNeil introducing the idea of researcher as lurker. Since then I have been thinking at some reasons for researchers to show or hide themselves from their participants, and the related issues of visibility of data and ethical considerations. Here is my starter for ten about levels of researcher visibility and possible research reasons. Researcher VisibilityResearch ReasonStatus as researcher […]
J McNeil p129 An interesting paragraph in a book I am reading at the moment (Lurking, by Joanne McNeil). We are used to talking about learners as lurkers, but here’s another perspective. What images do we invoke when we think about the researcher as lurker? The picture of researcher as outsider – as a profiteer swooping in to steal content and to cherry pick meaning to fit their own agenda – was one that gave me pause during my own […]
