⚙️ Work
We’re getting ready for our annual conference, only a couple of weeks away. I’ll be moderating a couple of sessions, which should be fun.
I’m hiring! We’re looking to add a Learning Technologies Specialist to the team, with a focus on program innovation.
🤔 PhD
The iLab hosted a seminar by Nicolai Marquadt on designing interfaces for cross-device interaction, and sketching, for the iLab. It was the first iLab meeting I’ve been able to attend in over a year…
I made significant progress in coding the transcripts. NVivo is working really nicely. Using stemmed queries to quickly code words across all 13 interviews is kind of amazing. I’m positive there’s a better way to do bulk semi-auto-coding, but starting with queries and then creating nodes from the results seems to work really well.

I got my penultimate immunotherapy maintenance treatment this week. One more to go - done in July.
And it’s been cold and/or snowing all week, so I haven’t gotten out on the bike at all this week. Back to the basement rides for now…
