The use of cartoons to engage users

This is work related so it's dry, dry, dry, but thankfully the use of xtranormal movie maker has made it that little bit more engaging.

CIS is a system that we teach (pronounced C.I.S or 'sis')

Course intro

Learning objectives 

Love of the mixed metaphor

"If we can hit that bullseye then the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards... Checkmate"

Okay, okay

I know, I know, I'm slack and lazy and ought to adhere to my blog needs a little more. Lots of stuff happening and no apparent spare time to steer into here. That's not true of course, there is always a few minutes to spare at some time during a day but sometimes those minutes are spent better with a cup of tea or having a quick tweet (that's not a euphemism for something else!)

Since I last was here it's been Christmas - Merry Christmas, the New Year - Happy new year, the death of my father-in-law - RIP Rog', my wife ill in hospital - Get Well Soon K..... It goes on.

I have decided that I will post some of my blog postings from my Open University course (H800 - Post Graduate Certificate in Online and Distance Education) - they are on the OU system and I have no way of guaranteeing that I will be able to access them forever, so I'll pop them in here: http://davese-stuff.blogspot.com/ along with other L&D realted bumpf. Some are meandering madness but some are interesting and I hope at least one might peak someones interest....
Some also contain reference to documents that I no longer have access to so apologies for that but it will increase your online literacy if you succeed in tracking them down *silver-lining*
