Early in the morning we had a talk with Brita on using confluence for the Learning Log.
My understanding was that these are the digital formats:
Confluence

I had a long conversation with Bill on his presentation and his subject of Research.
- I asked him to define Culture, and in particular if there were many Chinese cultures to which he said that the subject was very broad.
One comment he had was that the characters I was exploring perhaps had little meaning unless they were placed into context....this made me think more about the characters as parts of a whole. If the characters belonged to a society, just a few would actually be the most known to all others. I thought about visual ways of showing parts of a whole.
This gave the idea of a new branch of exploration - chinese line and character diagrams - such as medical body diagrams, invented machinery system diagrams and ancient calendars. The characters are individually less important, and the comparisons are more importantly made between the arrangements of lines, encirclements and character groups rather than the strokes and shapes of the character forms.
I could gather people to work collaboratively on a project - by defining set roles;
a video maker
a set maker
a lighting assistant
a storyteller
a speaker
an animator
The work could be judged by a native speaker.
Bill talked to me about popular in-word in china. the characters are sometimes substituted to look more interesting.
I thought about depicting emotions with Chinese characters. 'People with feelings'
I thought about Chinese characters again in 3D. Characters as landforms, placed on a flat surface, made fluid in their contours and extruded upwards ie,Zhong (middle) or Shan (mountain).
Adrian raised the idea of looking at the debate between Traditional (TW/HK) and Simplified characters (Mainland China/Singapore/Malaysia). Then I mentioned a phonetic alphabetical version called Zhuyin used in elementary schools in Taiwan. I thought whether there could be a more minimalised version of Simplified Chinese.- however questions are raised about the reduction in quality of the pictorial language. Korean is a phonetic language too.

How architecture can change the way you feel
Documentary that explores the impact of the designed building
Have impact on relationships

- fitness for purpose
- it is a manifesto
- new vision of higher education - no point in changing anything unless we change everything.

- think about stereotypes.Bill
Investigation into Chinese innovative industries

Two routes
1.Academic route - Books, Internet, Museum, Survey, Interview
2.Daily life route - Observe, Record, (possible recordings), analyse result.
Lead to Conclusion
Research
- Look up stereotypes - concept of group of people, drill down characteristics
- distorts a larger view
- by western - British or and American?
creating a broad sense, both need to be analysed. - Chinese culture - very broad view, more specific - needs analysis, locations, trends.
- be careful when using the word 'Chinese' or 'Eastern'Mike
Fashion - interested in Fabric, Shape and Pattern
Took from the application process - subject matters
One of those subjects which design is all about - 2D material to 3D shape
Taking the material and research different aspects
Researching what makes that particular fabric ready to make into a jacket
Sources - internet (Here and now), history of fabric, looking at related industries
Explore the science behind the fabric
Books, amount of time that can date back
Fabric and fabric evolution
Talking to people who have day to day contact with the material
Look at designers in the 1920s
Indonesian investment board, speakers. - re-introduce industries
How fabric was made.
Retail - how fabric works for them
What fabrics work for them. what fabrics don't work for them.
Look at experimentation
Page like a patchwork textile
Natural fabric versus synthetic
Production values
Processes that are used
Actual application, how fabric affects the cutting - ie.Chiffon.
Speak to industry experts
Explore whether the consumer has the power to influence changes.
Expectation and value
Very systematic approach...
one kind of fabric or all fabrics, how is this different from what you do?

Own thoughts about how my formative presentation went:
- I was nervous too, being reminded to smile
- I was most concerned about not getting the presentation to work, actually what I said had as much importance
- The slides that worked well were the literature review, systematic diagrams and sources of research
- The examples of the existing companies were questioned, by liz on whether I actually also could look at Rosetta Stone as a mainstream product that is already well established in the american/world market
- The last contact slide jammed in the browser and didn't move correctly as I was not used to operating a different PC!
- My voice wavered and perhaps I should have thought a bit more than described what I saw, when people are observing it is challenging to keep calm and regulate the speed of talking and thinking!
Own ideas about presentation:
show more background, why am I choosing to study interactive learning tools?
why am I interested in something?
symbols for meaning - easily accessible for all OR accessible through training.
the presentation shows a detachment from feelings
Instead of just talking about problem, thinking about purpose, thinking about people
Diaspora, people who can never go home.
What are people trying to learn? New directions:
