You can't beat a good philosophical Venn diagram. I've just spent nearly an hour working out where I am instead of doing an assignment that might help me get to Ikigai. #tcidul #procrastination
Yes, they don't stand out from the crowd anymore.
fake news stories as April Fool’s gags don’t feel the same in the era of disinformation warfare.
Note-taking is essential for students and helpful for everybody. I have always gone top-down but bottom-up intrigues me enough to give it a try since my mind often jumps from topic to topic. We also learn what a Trapper Keeper is. #tcidul
Taking notes is easy. Taking effective notes that allow one to best utilize them so they fulfill their intended purpose is harder. This post from @jarango outlines simple yet powerful ways to organize your notes. jarango.com/2021/11/24/two…

Two Ways of Organizing Notes
Mindful organization can help you find and use notes more effectively. Many note-taking apps offer two basic ways of doing so.
I think his answer is whatever, or is it what ever? I'll go with 'OK' #tcidul getpocket.com/explore/item/w…

Woohoo, my final assessed blog post is up. This week I have reflected on how a webinar at work about 'safety clutter' has given me focus on how elements of the Masters in Tech Comms & E-Learning and my work have come together in 'usability'. #tcidul reedwritedotblog.wordpress.com/2022/04/01/saf…
🤣 I can’t help but think about the free publicity shops have had due to misused apostrophes in their signs. Although I don’t recall this being covered in our design studies. #tcidul

Making things special is a lovely way of describing how technical communicators add value to documentation. #tcidul

Over the weeks of my Twitter assignment, it has been fascinating to see how the algorithms changed my feed in response to my activity. It really wants me to have an opinion despite avoiding politics carefully, but generally, it becomes an echo chamber for your thoughts. #tcidul
To lighten up another assignment deadline day. When you need to nag a ram and a load turn up at once🤣 #tcidul
I love this, although it does take the 'fun' out of trying to work out how a trendy hotel shower operates and deciding which arm to sacrifice to a scalding or cold shock.
Fixing poor design with documentation rarely works. It just highlights how bad you are at design.
At a webinar today I was introduced to the concept of ‘safety clutter’, which comes about with HSE docs when writers produce content at all levels of the doc hierarchy on all subjects. Usability mapping can be used to ‘declutter’. I can feel a blog post coming on. #tcidul
Emails are often be dashed off with little thought for the recipient or application of good communications practice. I'm also sure we had frustrating replies that only addressed one minor aspect of your message. These four tips make an impact: techwhirl.com/4-tips-to-writ… #tcidul
In this week's blog I reflect on starting our last assignment, to develop an e-portfolio #tcidul tinyurl.com/3ps4ucs7
As we move closer to the research phase of our course, especially if you don’t typically keep a journal, this is a timely reminder of the benefits of logging your thoughts. #tcidul
It is a pleasure to do both and very satisfying to work on both the content and design of artefacts, but specialists are the way for commercial enterprises #tcidul
At some point, content designers will start to realize that content and design are separate things and in fact are becoming decoupled. I hear many content designers talk about design systems, but few talk about content models. That needs to change.
I am pondering a blog subject today about why I chose to do a Tech Comms & ELearning MA and why, at my ripe old age, I now need an EPortfolio? This answers it perfectly #tcidul #lifelonglearning
