Enabling Occupation
December 1st, 2008 | by dnw |
I do some occassional lecturing at the University of South Australia in the School of Health Sciences, Occupational Therapy.
The subject is called “Enabling Occupation”, occupation in this sense being ‘undertaking an activity’ - or as I like to call it ‘doing stuff’. I focus on how different technologies and practices have enabled my life and talk about the concepts involved in thinking about helping someone living with disability to ‘do stuff’.
I’m also bringing in aspects of sharing and collaboration to enhance the ability to share knowledge between themselves and introducing using the interwebs as a tool to leverage collective know-how.
I like to take a shot of each group, and so here’s the latest bunch. I also tested out recording it this time - using my camera as recorder. It’s a bit noisy as was near the projector, and is very long. I’ll post it here when I snip it up. UPDATE: Here’s the audio
The slides are below.
