There are just 19 days left till the JISC Innovating e-Learning Online Conference 2012 opens its virtual doors for the first Activity week session… my session!
The theme of the conference is “shaping the future”, and it occurred to me to plot our trajectory we really need to think about where we’ve come from. I’d seen the XCRI timeline that Lou McGill had created for CETIS, but wanted something that could be used collaboratively.
I asked the champs list for suggestions for suitable timeline tools, and settled on the remarkable Verite timeline script combined with a Google spreadsheet and form, as suggested by Martin Hawksey.
The Verite TimelineJS can use Flickr, Googlemaps, Youtube and maybe even tweets, and even creates an embed generator to run the script from their site.
Here’s a link to my first attempt at adding some of the key timeline landmarks from my teaching timeline plus a few I pinched from Ben Ryan’s talk at Dev8ed :

We’ll be starting fresh in Activity week.
