My aim was to get participants consider the way in which they wanted to introduce their work at a showcase event. Then give them the opportunity to practice a short and attention grabbing lighting talk, using well known structure called a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pechakucha.com\/\">Pecha Kucha<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop was based upon a Pecha Kucha talk experience I gave in 2013 at the HELTASA conference (hosted at UNISA) combined with  mentoring work that I have done for <a href=\"https:\/\/oe4bw.org\/\">OE4BW<\/a> . Over the past few years, I have mentored a number of developers who wish to explore open education. Each developer at the OE4BW event has had to do a talk about their work. And to assist them, I have developed a pitch deck. I thought I&#8217;d tighten the pitch deck up using Pecha Kutcha or after my short stint at ALT, a <a href=\"http:\/\/gasta.me\/\">Gasta Presentation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In hind sight it was probably a bit ambitious. Many academics are carrying to much responsibility to devote their time to scripting out a very specific talk. I certainly struggled doing my live example. The combination of technology and nerves made my live example not the best.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do think that the principle of thinking out your story first on paper and in a storyboard, is a good habit to develop. I know for myself, I always jump head first into the technology and let the thoughts come afterwards. It results in imprecise thinking. Software has values coded into it. it influences one in hidden ways. I cannot however read my hand writing. So I hauled out the simplest thought capture package, note pad. Wrote my script based on these ten prompts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What big issue is your OER is addressing?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is there a compelling story that brings home a truth about your OER?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify the intent that underlines your OER?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What traction, momentum or validation does your OER have thus far?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Who is\/are the intended beneficiary\/ies of your OER?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is there a link to the OER in production?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the value of the OER?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What do you see happening with your OER in the future?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you have a plan to enact that future?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, in a simple sentence, restate the key purpose behind your OER?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It isn&#8217;t compulsory to do a pre-recorded lightning or Gasta talk. Those who are presenting at the showcase have the option of doing a live interview, where they supply me with three prompts. And we talk about their work.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 31 October 2023, I ran a workshop about Digital Storytelling.
