Monthly Archives: March 2013. Absolutely, go ahead. Which brings me to some strangeness that occurred last week. At a conference, it was clear that specification I work on (Tin Can API, computers sharing data about people learning and doing) has gained a lot of traction. It was great to see people who were questioning it in June, September, December, now coming back with support and ideas that build on Tin Can’s capabilities. Am happy to answer any questions and listen to people’s opinions. I know Ti...

Monthly Archives: December 2013. We Need to Let Curiosity Drive. I heard a great quote attributed to Jer Thorp. Recently, Design is figuring out how people walk across a bridge, engineering is figuring out how to build the bridge itself. There’s a book from 1991 titled. Information and Information Systems. By Michael Buckland. I’ve been dragging it around for years. That’s because his explanation of inquiry is so spot on that I haven’t been able to let it go, let alone disprove it. Ever...My point isR...

Flows and controls | Bowe Knows

Dave Gray shared this for feedback recently, http:/ davegray.looplogic.com/change-tool. It’s the starting model for an organizational change tool. There are two very interesting pieces of this, how do you influence without control and how do you move an organization to it’s optimal state to evolve in a fast changing world. Dave proposes three levers that can be used to affect the organizational change: variation (of people and groups), selection (of environments), and interactions (ways to create motion).

Monthly Archives: April 2012. A Recipe for Change in Learning Technology. Looking at family recipes, the first thing that jumps to your mind probably isn’t what’s happening with learning technology, but that’s exactly what happened to me recently. It got me reflecting on what does supporting informal learning look like? How have people historically collected growing ideas and supported collaborative innovation? Why is the change from SCORM to Tin Can so important? This sparked a whole set of ideas for me...

Monthly Archives: March 2012. Why you should care about Tin Can Analytics (and maybe Tetris). What stories can data tell us about learning? I’m currently fascinated with. And all of the new capabilities it offers to advance learning. With that, the gracious people at Rustici Software. With their prototypes from Project Tin Can. Obliged me by hosting a Tetris tournament to generate Tin Can API data for me to play with. This small implementation of Tetris. Sothe picture that this Tetris championship tells.

The Unknown | Bowe Knows
https://userscience.wordpress.com/2013/03/08/the-unknown
One of the main differences between Up to All of Us. This year and last year. Is the number of unknowns. Last year Aaron. The shoe designer surely didn’t design for that use case. People are fucking creative. What I’m saying is that if a design is too limiting of the possibilities for doing ‘it’ differently, whatever it is. One may well kill it off by strangling the imagination that people naturally approach experiences with. We’ve decided to change that. It’s working. I love everyone who has so ...Click...

I’m so sorry, blog. I have been super busy with the Tin Can API. And this blog has suffered (alright, it’s used to being neglected, I admit it). If you’re looking for me, go check out http:/ tincanapi.com. There’s plenty of writing there. I promise I’ll be better and write something less tin can-ish here soon.
