A recent realization made me take the decision to temporarily pause my book project and focus on learning information design and graphic design craft. Going to enroll in some online graphic and info design courses.

Personal philosophy for learning & expression:

  1. Good-fidelity over perfect-fidelity, sketch-fidelity over good-fidelity- keep practicing to improve a skill. Also, momentum easier to maintain.
  2. Keep learning & apply what youโ€™ve understood to item 1.
  3. Item 1 gives me an outlet for impatience & frustration whilst Iโ€™m rewiring brain in item 2.

Took me years of practice to develop visual mental model/lens. Code lens is higher fidelity as I developed that much earlier.

Using visual judiciously would add to the impact of your book project and learning the knowledge (know what) and practicing (know how) are important. However, donโ€™t stop your book project as it might not get completed. Accept whatever you release into the world will not be perfect and your best effort at the time.

Also each level of coloured rectangle represents one iteration of the intersection โ€” the first visualisation/essay/ prototype of a 100 days of _____ type of project

Decided to streamline the project scope by focusing on the theme of Imagination for Invention & Discovery

So examining limitations of imagination in conventional pedagogies for research, learning & teaching, as well as exploring alternative pedagogies that utilise interface affordances to enhance imagination for purpose of invention and discovery in education, research, and learning

Helps me to simply focus on factors that limit imagination in pedagogies for its role in invention and discovery

Milestones Digital Glossary โ€” An interactive website with a list of definitions thematized according to overlaps between design and educational psychology. It should also feature interactive elements such as highlighting related concepts when a definition is clicked. Design Framework โ€” Complete your own design philosophy and then revise conventional UX deliverables with your own methods and its diagrams with your own onto-episte, design principles/philosophy-derived methods and frameworks and make them into diagrams. Actually, this could be part of your milestone as well. Diagramming your onto-episte, philosophies, principles. Pattern Library โ€” Epistemic Cognition Design Pattern library for learning, teaching, and research activities, specifically tailored for Open Education, Open Pedagogy, and Edtech. This library will play a crucial role in defining the ten themes for your book, which explores novel interactive visual abstractions in UI design within the context of educational psychology, open education, and interface design. Newsletter โ€” 10 themes, 20 essays of invention, analysis taken from the above themes, do that via email newsletter substance and Twitter threads.

Iโ€™d recommend looking at this article - https://www.rethinkingpower.info/how-interpretive-labor-straddles-the-gap-between-rules-and-reality/

UI intended design & actual implementation is always limited by means of production as well as collective human imagination.

For example, a set of administration functions I designed in 2021 still have not been signed-off & passed to development due to business priorities & limited team capability. Having design system components & being able to produce production code reduces some friction.

An old mastodon thread on tips to come up with a lesson plan for yourself/research inquiry that I came up with while chatting with @dahukanna

(This is more oriented towards people who prefer a self-directed learning interdisciplinary learning approach and whose end goal is to materialize the research to build things)

https://mastodon.social/@dahukanna/111670004660887417

A newer addition to it on ways you might figure out a criteria for book, paper selection out of the hundreds and thousands of lit you've gathered.

Comparing and Contrasting with a list of questions from the domains you are interested in Next create a list of questions researchers in the fields you are interested are asking and compare and contrast the similarities and differences in both the lists, using that you can then find intersections between the questions you are interested in and the people whose literature you have curated and as you find overlaps between the questions, you can use that as an example to further narrow down more literature. Basically the goal is not to do a narrow lit review of any one specific field but rather for the purpose of design and your projectโ€™s pragmatist, utilitarian goal, to use the relevant literature for inspiration. Also the answers from that earlier exercise of self-reflection via can be used to extract a list of keywords that can serve as prompts for imagining attributes of the ideal outcome or the form in which you imagine your artefact to be. Basically to help build a vision, those attributes and the resulting vision can also help you form a list of themes that are important for your project which can serve as criteria for the selection of the literature
