I followed DesignWriteStudio, run by Steve @ SUNYPoly, with interest for a second year.
I'm interested in what new students of TW in an active learning context can achieve in a limited time period. Some of the resulting TW are very good. But *ONE thing that absolutely stands out to me* is what long term users here know (that DWS students don't at first)--*the current complications in FINDING TW exemplars, and code examples*, you need to solve problems and evolve one's TW ... Its currently far too much work unless you have a degree in Information Forensics. Here is a great comment by one student <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/designwrite/KzHtZP6Id94/YAMJ44aKBAAJ> ... There are a few areas that are a bit mysterious still to me (I initially tried creating this with fewer plugins, but couldn't get it to work until I added others found through the Google Group). If I was to recreate this, I'd probably start by immediately importing every plugin I used. The comment is considered and liberal. But it illustrates the issue--that its laborious at the moment to adequately evaluate extant solutions. Typically, you can only say what you SHOULD have used AFTER you went through a complex process of trial-and-error to find out. I think some of the issues SUNYPoly students had were never addressed or solved simply because its currently too complicated for them (and us) to figure out what is where and what is what--though there ARE solutions that could have solved some of their issues better. And their teacher, Steve, is a mortal who can't know ALL that has been done or where to find it. IMO, knowing ALL is for SYSTEMS of AGGREGATION. It can't be in people's heads. And its can't work well through random posts. Normal posts here on GG often solve problems well. But mostly those solutions disappear into the Google Swamp within a few days. Just moaning (again) from the fog Josiah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
