Going through the examples

To date, with only a few hours to go, I have permission from 12 people. Great! I think that these all have the examples that I need. If the remaining come through before the end of today, the stated deadline on the email, I shall use them. If the permission comes late, I won't feel obliged to use them.

Decision time...

On previous sweeps, I highlighted certain examples and then found some more. This is the final decision time, where I write the information in detail and put it on the pbwiki as a holding place. Then to fragment and place on the TW. Why not straight onto the TW? Because I don't want to add any more content there without thinking of the structure. While I am writing the commentary, the form of the structure will manifest itself. Ghost-like? A suitable place to stop on 31st October!

Fundamentals

I've gone back to my original application, dug out the CUILU capabilities and spent some time writing about and putting onto the wiki HOW the Learning Object that I am creating could be used.

Now - back to looking at the examples!

More TW edits

Small changes but giant leaps of knowledge. Used the stylesheet to remove "those pesky 'tagged' and 'tagging' boxes" referred to by Griffmex in tw for the rest of us. Could have easily just removed the relevant divs from the html but that would have been too easy!

Realised that they had to be referred as .tiddler beforehand:

.tiddler .tagging {display: none;}
.tiddler .tagged {display: none;}

Firefox extension Web Developer was a great help here because I could mouseover my page and it would show me the relevant css. Brilliant.

Permaview vs tags

Permaview is really wonderful as I can decide what tiddlers to open and create a URL that opens them.

However - I think that tag might be more appropriate: tag:CIPeL added to the address will open TW with all the tiddlers tagged CIPeL.

Unhowever - I have created a link for admin and this has two tiddlers that I don't want to re-tag.

Swings and roundabouts.

Editing and showcasing

My original plan was not to edit any of the examples at all.

However (there's always got to be a "however!") - there were inconsistencies, some of the file names were long or didn't reflect the content and some things did not reflect the re-usability aspect, containing module codes for example. Some were very much "work in progress", and as a result had a very long last page.

So I edited them according to the page in the wiki: http://cipel.pbwiki.com/EditingExamples


While doing that, I identified pages for showcasing the individual examples and took a screen dump of them.

Finding what to showcase

Every single example has something that can be showcased!

Every type of question has been used, despite my only talking about multi response and (in later sessions) gapfill.

Despite my only demonstrating cgPageTitle and mentioning cgComment when demonstrating the template, 12 styles have been used!

Some used the Flash Card that I demonstrated and many used internet links - no different from the normal use in Word.

Some included an index page, others removed it.

There were also some images and tables.

So I set up Tables to analyse what had been used. This was very useful because I could get at a glance what was there.

Then I needed to consider individual examples, so I assigned one page per example.
