Welcome to {0} {designspace}

HELLO!.....................from the {designspace} a very sparse, pale but plucky blog that split off from the mothership blog It is designed to be filled with the jottings, thoughts, links, ideas, maps help, drawings, diversions, images, colour and HUMAN-CENTRED DESIGN which spin off from the the diverse projects currently undertaken by members of the OPEN SLATHER group .

Digital submission

Double click image to see supervisors view of "digital trail / archive" for 305 projects

To make things consistent the digital submissions are mostly PDFs. One of the purposes of getting you to upload the draft proposal early is to for you familiarise yourself with the system, to iron out any technical problems and to explore the design possibilities of the PDF format .

Thanks to Nicole and Megan who responded quickly today we solved an interface display issue very early on.

What to do if you have a technical issue submitting your files

First check the format and size of the file
If difficulties persist in submitting then take a screen shot of the problems, email it to me with explanatory text and we will solve it as quickly as possible. If it happens around deadline time then email the PDF file direct to your supervisor [or drop in their public drop box] as a back up.

Why bother with digital submission through the student web site
Well good question but for two very good reasons.
1. The digital submission archives your work as it develops thus leaving a digital trail of your performance.. a portfolio of your progress if you like. With your permission we can display this back to the class for comment or edification or simply catalogue it [see staff view of archive above]

2. The digital submission is linked to the Assessi so when your work is being assessed by the panel of supervisors the online mark sheet appears as a separate window to displayed work .

Open Slather: How to get the Guff

Dear Open Slathers

After tomorrow's 305 lecture [Tuesday 7 March Moot Court 1.00pm] and at 3.30pm I have scheduled an Information Literacy Workshop with Gillian Elliott Design Reference Librarian

305. Student Placement

Dear All

After a bit of shuffling and negotiating most students have been placed with supervisors.Good going! There may be 1 or 2 who still need to confirm their placement. These people should see Nick Laird in the first instance.

By now you should know when and where your 305 group meets weekly. If not check with your supervisor.

This is by far the fastest most efficient sorting 305 has had to date.

Because the sorting has been so efficient, this week lectures will cease after the 1-3.00pm Tuesday Moot Court, so from then on the course will comprise small group teaching only under the supervision of your supervisor.
