Interests

Some of this started as a laugh. Wrestling graphs ended up in the PhD. Streaming a choose-your-own-adventure with Harold Bishop has not, yet. I usually start with something people already care about and show it to them. This map is those interests, and some that have not gone anywhere yet.

The map

Solid lines already exist. Dashed lines could become a paper or a class, but have not yet.

Click an interest. Filled pills have already shown up in a paper or a thesis. Outlines have not, yet.

ScholarshipIn a paper. Clingo has an ECGBL paper. Comparative judgement has talks and a short piece on using GPT to summarise peer comments.

TeachingUsed in teaching. Bingo with placement phrases, a spinning Equality Act wheel, ranking posters by picking a winner, ethics cases with a chatbot. These are in rooms now.

Mostly teaching. Health students, a room, a thing you can click or spin or shout at, then a conversation. Some of it has papers. Some of it is still a toy I would actually open in a class.

The stream stuff is sitting nearby. Chat versus Harold Bishop is already a game. It is not billed as a class.

Already tied to

  • Wrestling. The workshops were a room, a picture, and an argument.
  • Text adventures. Vetscape was already a teaching case. Twine instead of a PDF.

Could be built

  • Streaming. A class in chat, a case on screen, Harold Bishop optional.
  • Idle games. Change the odds while a class is in the map, and talk about the system rather than the mine.
  • Wikipedia. A session that is just: pick a fandom, pull a graph, argue with it. I have done the wrestling version off-timetable.
