Just listened to Michael Miles recorded #HEWeb24 session "Unlocking higher ed web development team capabilities with AI" #1 take away was the refreshing openness to utilize AI within development. #2 take away for me was the rubber duck method. It's a process in development where if you get stuck on a problem sometimes you need to explain the problem out loud, even if it's to an inanimate object like a rubber duck. AKA use AI as the "duck" ^ In doing so, this possibly opens up logic gaps and in turn you're able to solve the problem. 🧠 #3 Utilizing AI to generate user guides.

From Blog New Web: Displaying an RSS Feed on a Web Page     [[{“value”:” The Flow of Information today is Everything.

📈 📊 I’ve joined the early access waitlist to beta test VIZZU, a tool I learned about from Tamas Mester’s latest Data36 newsletter. Vizzu focuses on animated data visualizations, helping to build a data story through the connections between different charts: https://www.vizzu.io/ Just like the early adopters of Prezi, early users of VIZZU will have the opportunity to create truly unique data stories and presentations. I’m looking forward to exploring this tool further! Perhaps storytelling with data has a brandnew option to consider? :) #Vizzu #DataVisualization #BetaTester #TomiMester #Data36
