Notes about the online documentation project

By Wednesday, 12/7 each group should have a clear idea of the project: either an information resource, a research-oriented educational game, or a research tool. Refer to the guidelines or ask me if you have questions about your proposed topic. Groups will probably find that they need to schedule time outside of class to work on the project; be sure that you have exchanged contact information in order to arrange this. Group members should find ways to divide up tasks fairly, so that the groups can make progress on the project outside of class. You might want to use BuddyPress docs (built into the OpenLab) or Google Docs to collaborate.

Soon we’ll determine an order for the group presentations, which will take place on Monday, December 19 and Wednesday, December 21. Presentations are 10 minutes with 5 minutes allowed for questions.

If your group wants to schedule time in A543 to rehearse the presentation, please let me know and we’ll work something out.

We’ll meet in A540 on Wednesday and both days next week. Please get in touch if you have any questions about the project or presentation.

Notes from today, and looking to next week

Next week your groups will meet in A540. The next four class meetings will be devoted to group work. Your groups might be able to complete the project in class, but it is possible that you may need to meet to work outside of class. Be sure to exchange contact information and schedules with other members of your group. If you haven’t already, please review the guidelines for the documentation project and presentation. At some point next week I’ll check in with each group to find out what your project will be. As always, you can contact me with questions, either during my office hours (M/W 11:15-12:15) or by email.

Slides for today are available here.

Notes from today, and reading/discussion for Monday, 11/28

Today we spent some time discussing the nature of process documentation, and we looked at a few blog posts that demonstrate process documentation. If you want to post your example, I’ll give you until the end of today to do so with full credit. On Monday we’ll discuss more practical applications for documentation,  and we’ll establish groups for the online documentation project. For Monday, please re-read the Edge and Robinson articles about documentation (assigned for today).

If you have questions about the research paper final, please get in touch by email. If you handed me a late draft, I’ll get it back to you with comments as soon as I can; if not later on today, then I’ll aim for Friday or Saturday. Your final papers are due on Wednesday, November 30 by 10 a.m.

Slides from today are available here.

Enjoy the long weekend!

instruction video

This is a short video that helps new Microsoft office 2010 users comprehend how to use the new features in Microsoft word. The instructor is the project manager of office and she is the narrator of the video. She displays how to use and understand these new features and better enhance a project and organize data with elaborate creative traces. After watching this video one can and will get a brief overview and feel more confident using this program to asses these new features in an assigned paper, a formal letter and charting with improved labeling such as a text effect that allows a glow to be present behind a word or words.

Documentation Process


This is a YouTube video that documents the process of mummification. More specifically the mummification of Herakleid, a young man who died at a young age of 20. The narrator first explain the origin of the mummification and reasons why it was practiced. After that She describes the process which the mummy undergoes until it is complete. The narrator was clear and point out what make this process unique and different from normal mummification process. I found this documentation Very clear and informative. The fact that it is in video format makes it very easy to follow and see what’s going on. If I had the ingredient, I am confident I can recreate a similar mummy thanks to this documentation.

HOW TO CLEAN JEWELRY??

http://www.howdini.com/howdini-video-6690205.html

This can be part of process documentation because it shows people how to clean jewerly. This video can benefit many women, since they like wearing all kind of jewelry and at times it gets dirty and need a clean-up in order to wear it again. The Lady in the video explains the steps that it is need in order to clean any kind of jewelry brand like diamond, gemstones, and even pearls. She says to use three parts of water and one part of ammonia, a soft bristled toothbrush and a soft cloth. When cleaning a gemstone and a diamond jewelry, they dip it in the mix of water and ammonia and brush it with the toothbrush for cleaning. With a softcloth they clean the pearls after each use in order to keep it clean. She suggest to send the jewelry a jeweler every six months to a year to clean it with a ultrasonic machine, which is a best way to clean it more better.
I had seen other videos before about the cleaning of jewelry, but this one was intersting because it dealt with water and ammonia together in order to clean jewelry. The thing that I done before is to just buy the product that is to clean a specific jewerly and use, or just send it to a jeweler to clean it for me. Now that i know this tip i would try it at home and see what the results are.

How to clean vinyl records with wood glue

So this is  a short how to video showing you the best way to clean your vinyl records. If you buy or collect record albums like me you know that they are very prone to dust and dirt and have to be cleaned regularly to maintain the sound quality and to  keep them from damage.  Using wood glue is  trick that is used a lot by record store employees to really get dirt deep in the grooves. In the video he tells us the best type of glue that will work for this because you have to be able to peel off the glue later. He demonstrates how to apply the glue on the record and offers some tips on how to peel it off and to clean up any residue it might leave behind.  It was  a very  insightful video for me because I have some dirty records that are starting to sound really bad, a lot of static and skipping, but I didn’t want to clean them with water and soap because I know tap water leaves a lot of minerals behind that can mess up the sound quality even more. He didn’t mention it in the video, and he should have, but usually people use water and soap, a cloth or a brush to clean their records that can lead to further damaging a record if you do it incorrectly.

Like A Bioré® Strip For Vinyl…

Just a bonus video. This one is really entertaining because he actually plays the wood glue that he peels off.
