Do Today's Daily Create: #tdc5166 #ds106 Share One Thing You Learned During #OEWeek26 (like Martin did)

Open Education Week Do OE Week Activities
1

This is day five of Open Education Week (but it does keep on going). For the final five Daily Creates published as a special activity for the week, we ask you for one thing.

Name one idea, or one project, or even just one humble URL that you learned as something new or interesting this week. Just one thing, if Martin Weller can share one thing, you can too (I kid you Martin!)

Did you Enjoy the Daily Creates This Week?

We hope so! And come back here anytime for more. The Daily Create never stops, even more than 14 years since it started.

March 2-6 is the annual celebration of Open Education Week, if you have not heard about it, check out everything happening this week with a daily schedule of stuff to do. And it’s taking over the Daily Create for five days.

I am adding this week’s OEWeek challenges as an activity posted to the Open Education Week collection. If you are a regular Daily Creator you know how to reply to this Daily Create in Mastodon. But you can post your photo anywhere and share a link in the comments below, or even better, you can reply to this challenge in the OEG Connect Activity Space. Or just do them for yourself! There are no rules in the Daily Create Club.

Whaaaaaaat? It’s already been five days? It went by too fast.

For a One Thing learned in Open Education Week it was the visceral experience of “hearing” blind student Yasser Tamer from America University Cairo as he demonstrated navigating the web with a screen reader experience, as part of an event on Thursday:

The intensity of the computer voice fast talking screen elements hard to imagine living with all day long. I was overwhelmed in a few minutes.

It was informative to be reminded of structured elements in our materials (headings) and as well how complex it is to know your PDFs are accessible. I got the sense too that a simple check through some tool is not always sufficient.

Yasser shared a useful video to remind us of the effect in “over-use” of emojis in text- he did not say to avoid their use, but be mindful as each one is announced. He shared this video which made it clear.

I will offer a single hand clap and much more appreciation to Yasser for leading this event :clap:
