Lumzy - 0 views

  •  
    "Lumzy is a mockup and prototyping tool for websites and applications. By "mockup", we mean a quick sketch that gives an idea of what the site or application you are planning to build will look like. When we say "prototype", we're referring to something functional, and with Lumzy we're NOT talking about simply page-linking (like so many other so-called "prototyping" tools provide). No way, we're talking about functional prototypes - where a user can perform events such a clicking on buttons, selecting values from dropdowns, filling in text fields, scrolling lists, etc..., and those events can trigger actions. These actions provide the client with the experience they'd expect from a functioning site or application, such as seeing popup windows, or alert messages, or being taken to other pages or even to other websites (yes you can launch real "live" URLs from within your prototype).

  • After the initial conversation on values and context in relation to your desire to improve practices that relate to helping students, yourself and/or colleagues to improve their learning, I believe that you may find the following action planning process most useful.
  • 'How do I improve what I am doing?'
  • tions, ideas and actions that can distinguish an action reflection cycle: 1) What do I want to improve? What is my concern? Why am I concerned? 2) Imagining possibilities and choosing one of them to act on in an action plan 3) As I am acting what data will I collect to enable me to judge my educational influence in my professional context as I answer my question?  4) Evaluating the influence of the actions in terms of values and understandings. 5) Modifying concerns, ideas and actions in the light of evaluations.
  • Making public a validated explanation of educational influences
  • 7) As I evaluate the educational influences of my actions in my own learning and the learning of other, who might be willing to help me to strengthen the validity of my explanation of my learning about my influence with responses to questions such as: i)               Is my explanation as comprehensible as it could be? ii)             Could I improve the evidential basis of my claims to know what I am doing? iii)            Does my explanation include an awareness of historical and cultural influences in what I am doing and draw on the most advanced social theories of the day? iv)            Am I showing that I am committed to the values that I claim to be living by?

  • In an inclusional way of being and knowing an individual recognises that they exist in a relational dynamic of space and boundaries. Hence one of the tasks of the practitioner-researcher is to express and communicate this relational dynamic in explanations of educational influence.
  • An example here would be the use of Foucault's (1977) ideas on Power/Knowledge to understand the relationships between the Truth of Power and the Power of Truth in the workplace when seeking academic legitimation for new living standards of judgment.
