Polvo
No full textThe Abstract Animation is based on imagery and thoughts collected whilst listening to the Nine Inch Nails track ‘Corona Radiata’ from The Slip that also forms the soundtrack for ‘Polvo’. The animation is a culmination of ideas and processes that have been in my head over the last few years and have come together to produce this piece of work. I hope others can enjoy looking and peering into the sound & visuals. The soundtrack , the production files and the final film are all release under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 licence. The Animation was created entirely in the opensource software Blender 3d & the titles created in opensource software Inkscape. The production of the film has been certified as Carbon Neutral via projects to off set C02. More details and downloads at adamprocter.or
User Experience (a hidden barrier) in OER
No full textMore Open Education Resources (OER) and learning environments are being created and starting to mature and there are a number of barriers to learning and creator participation. One often overlooked barrier that has been given less attention, especially within OERs, is user experience (UX). UX is the way a person feels about using a product, system or service. We are creatures with emotional needs and, in the rush to get great content open and available sometimes the usability, the wow factor and good design principles get left by the wayside. I will demonstrate ways to think about UX for your OER and learning environments and why this is an important factor in helping engage learners with our educational materials. ‘The real payoff comes when we can make that remarkability last. When we can make people continually feel our work is worthy of discussion. When—for weeks, months, maybe even years— the people who engage with our work continue to sing its praises to everybody they meet’– (Jared Spool in Walter, A. Designing for Emotion). Walter, A. (2011) Designing for Emotion, A Book Apar
