Re: Wikis for Groupwork

Julia Ault — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 07:58:35 -0000

Very informative article thank you. We are hoping to use wikis in a similar way in University of Wales Trinity Saint David - indeed some schools already do, but the use is not widespread and part of my role as Technology Enhanced Learning Officer is to facilitate and encourage more take-up of such tools. Thus I shall be taking your experiences on-board to feed back to staff in TSD. We also use Campus Pack within Blackboard - and shortly Moodle too so the technology is ready and waiting for us - we just need the enthusiasm and commitment (and the chocolate of course!)

Re: Blackboard CourseSites, the VLE and the Cloud

I might think of this for my WBL site on Blackboard to be honest, although we are also moving most of the content to PebblePad for these specific learners. will keep you informed of progress one way or another of course!

Hmm I might want to give this a trial when I get the chance

Re: My 3 Words for 2011

Julia Ault — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 12:06:40 -0000

Perseverance - this has been one of my words for the past two years and still applies just as much as ever!

Focus - to try not to do everything and succeed at very little but to do a few things really well

Enthusiasm - this is my raison d'être (so I am told!) so I will endeavour to hang on to this through the bad times and disappointments that will inevitably arise during the year...

I thought everyone had a pet rock at one time Chris! I have always taken LOL to mean Laugh Out Loud myself.

Re: Ashdown spot on about Tories' Sarah Palin moment

Julia Ault — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 14:58:52 -0000

Much as I am disappointed in and deeply disilusioned by Labour and the wasted opportunities for radical reform and excessive reliance on spin (yes Alastair I am looking at you!) in the early, heady days when you had so much goodwill, hope and optimism behind you, I am utterly horrifed by the thought of a return to Tory 'Family Values' which are so redolent of the Victorians in their sheer hypocrisy, not to mention simply being meaningless soundbites that will barely save pennies, let alone milions of pounds, that I shall have to wearily and unenthusiastically vote Labour again without any real hope of change or improvement. Ah well.....

Re: HOW TO: Make a Google Buzz Desktop App

Julia Ault — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 13:26:25 -0000

I have been using both prism and chrome application shortcuts for ages for Gmail, Google calendar and my Web Access for my work email. It is an easy way to keep them separate from my main browsing with multiple tabs.

Hi Chris
Your link needs correcting as it has an SU Blackboard url in with the BBC one. :-)
thanks for the heads-up though!

Great minds think alike, Chris!

I have two relevant lists:

I think most folk are on at least one of those lists - you are probably on
both!! I have other non-education lists too if you fancy a nose!

Google Reader for me too

Re: Twitter Lists- Im Not Down

Julia Ault — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 19:15:58 -0000

As someone who is never on anyone's lists about anything - good, bad or indifferent - I think we have to become reasonably philosophical about this. Most of us are only really known to a small handful of people on the web in relative terms - much as in real life our social circles do not usually consist of thousands of people - so maybe we should just choose to follow lists that seems relevant or interesting to us either personally or for our work and continue to cultivate and maybe extend our own little social circles online without wondering if we are hip, trendy or popular enough to be followed or listed?

Re: Is Google giving Gmail back to the UK? (UPDATE: Yes, it is)

Brilliant! i got my Gmail address before the change to GooglemMil but am delighted that I can have a real Gmail address for business now as well!

Kudos to you for making the ultimate sacrifice so that the rest of us dont have to. An hour or so was all I could manage, I feebly admit.

Re: iPhone Coming to Orange UK

Julia Ault — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:25:23 -0000

As someone who excitedly bought an iPhone a couple of months ago on O2 but had to send it back because there wasnt sufficient cellular coverage where I live (Orange is about the best in my area) I wholeheartedly welcome this news and will definitely be donating my Samsung Tocca to a family member and upgrading to an iPhone when they are available on Orange. Best bit of news I've heard all day - ok it has been a bad day but still!

Re: eLearning Blog: Dear Blackboard

Julia Ault — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:12:25 -0000

Despite actually being employed to admin Blackboard, it is just a tool to me and I would be just as happy looking after something a little more modern if it came my way :-)

Re: Office 2010 will be on the Cloud

Julia Ault — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 12:12:17 -0000

This could in theory, save HEIs money on licensing costs perhaps? Some HEIs and other organisations have been unable to afford to upgrade their Office systems and thus staff/students/employees are still using old versions which, whilst perfectly adequate for basic tasks, do lack some of the more useful features of later versions. We are using Office XP 2002 in TUCC, for example.

Re: 6 Reasons Why Mozilla Firefox Is Safe Compared To Internet Explorer

Julia Ault — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:00:02 -0000

A man after my own heart, Chris! I too use Chrome in the ways you described
and love the separate desktop apps for Gmail, Calendar and Reader both at
home and in work. I also use one for my Novell WebAccess work email when at
home which works great. I have also used Prism to create similar apps from
Firefox.
I am a big fan of Opera too, which I used for years not just as a browser,
but Opera Mail was my sole email client at home until going back to work
when I could not download emails through Opera at work as we are only
allowed to use Port 80 - apart from in our GroupWise desktop client. I then
set up Gmail to pick up all my personal email accounts and send from them so
that I can access other email in work too, if needed.

So I tend to flit between the 3 browsers at will, which is handy if you want
to keep signed in to a few different accounts for example.

I just cant get on with IE for some reason (although I have tried) and
usually ignore it as much as is humanly possible! Have you ever tried to
code websites for IE6 (and other normal browsers) ??? *shudders at the
traumatic memories invoked*
