SUCCESS!!!

It all worked out in the end when I found the 'record sound' option in the insert>movies&sounds menu of ppt... it meant re-recording both audio files and it also meant a successful upload by bedtime on Saturday!

Then concentration on Module 4 began proper. Having had my AI approved by my LF I have been putting together a questionnaire & internet research guide handout to use in the 3 Information Retrieval Skills lessons I now have timetabled in... with time between providing the opportunity for further improvements to be made... I am feeling good about it all, partly I think because I had familiarised myself a little with AI at the end of last year by participating in Rob Walker's Hotseat on Plone, partly because I had printed off and read resources provided by my LF in his Plone space (again at the end of last year) and also because I feel it is just moving the focus slightly of the Kolb Reflective Practice model I used in Module 3 (and which C1 graduates have reassuringly confirmed they used throughout their degree).

I also realised this week that I am well in my Abstract Conceptualisation phase and so have pulled things together for the writing of my module in this respect, as I will do next week when I move on to the Active Experimentation phase that leads me through Concrete Experience on which to make Reflective Observation before the cycle begins again with further conceptualisation. That being a paragraph loaded with theoretical terms, I am feeling a little talked out now so will get stuck into some further reading to supplement what I have done so far.

In the meantime I am making plenty of notes!

NO SUN! In more ways than one...

Back from the grey skied Med and I spent the last week proofreading, correcting and Harvard referencing Module 3 before uploading to Plone....

...& that's when the problems began! After the upload I could hear one embedded audio file but not both.... strange as they were both recorded and embedded in exactly the same way!?! I tried re-embedding from within the file before zipping and lost both... then converted the audio files to mp3 which I could hear on the laptop but not on the pc.... woe is me! When will the light shine on this dilemma?

In the meantime I have been doing lots of reading and thinking about Module 4 and will be keeping a more regular blog through this one....

DONE for DUSTING

I am pleased to say I have finished drafting Module 3 and will leave it for dusting when I return from my holiday. I have read it through today and am happy I have satisfied all the learning outcomes.

When I get back from Majorca I will proof read it, check it for inconsistencies and do my best at Harvard Referencing....

In the meantime, SUN, SUN, SUN!
