to TiddlyWiki

Greetings:

Several of you may have noticed some discussion in recent months about the DesignWriteStudio, a place where I teach students, mostly from SUNY Polytechnic Institute in NY (USA), how to design and write interactive texts using TiddlyWiki. This term, there are about 25 students enrolled in credit-bearing university classes, at either the undergraduate or graduate level. Most (all?) of these students were introduced to TiddlyWiki on the first day of class in January, and have spend the past 14 weeks learning to use TiddlyWiki to complete various projects.

My students will be presenting their final projects during class next week, and we will be live-streaming the presentations on Zoom. You are invited to attend the presentations, which I hope you will find both instructive and inspiring.

This is the schedule (all times Eastern Standard Time (US); link provided to world clock):

Monday, April 23 7pm

Tuesday, April 24 9:45am

Wednesday, April 25, 4pm

Thursday, April 26, 9:45am

I think this is a unique opportunity to see a variety of users work with TiddlyWiki, and get a sense of what folks can learn to do in a relatively brief time. I hope that some can come, as I know my students would appreciate it. If you are unable to view the livestream, I anticipate capturing each presentation as a distinct video, and building links to the presentations in the DesignWriteStudio wiki.

If anyone is interested in exploring collaborative opportunities to teach using TiddlyWiki, please be in touch. I'll be revamping my teaching materials this summer, as well as working on a number of projects to develop Tiddly textbooks (open educational resources using TiddlyWiki as a platform) and TiddlyWiki data collection and analysis tools.

And thanks to all who helped out by responding to student requests during the past few months!
