What I did this week<\/h2>\n\n

I attended a meeting of the internal community of practice of the Open University’s content design team. We had fun and a good conversation about bilingual design and collaboration and I showed them some of my slides before the end (I needed to, after I had planned them so carefully!). I was very grateful to be invited. <\/p>\n\n

I also published some bilingual design resources<\/a> to give to the team at the Open University. I did this on GitHub. I’ve been exploring this as a way of working openly (publishing it, not just talking about it here). It’s fairly simple to do this and is a way of testing ideas to create more formal resources that we can publish on the CDPS website, for example. <\/p>\n\n

I published an article about AI, translation and the Welsh language<\/a> . Again, with the intention of sharing ideas that would otherwise be in an internal folder and only shared with certain people. I get paid publicly, so why not share it publicly. I would like the ideas to stimulate others as well, whether they disagree or agree. This is mostly thinking out loud at the moment. <\/p>\n\n

Highlights<\/h2>\n\n

In the Content Design Cymru<\/a> community of practice, Russell Davies<\/a> came to talk to us about the art of presentation. I loved it. He said something inspiring: <\/p>\n\n

\n

– \u201cWriting is thinking, presenting is deciding\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

This is often what writing like this is – reflecting and thinking. The idea of \u200b\u200b\u201cdeciding\u201d in the form of a presentation is striking. In a business context, someone presents to give an opinion, persuade or influence. Similarly, performing live is a matter of persuasion and giving an opinion in the form of what you have already reflected on previously. Whatever you’re doing, on stage, you need to convince an audience. <\/p>\n\n

I also went to meet Jo, Josh and Fernando to look at the manuscript of the accessibility book. The design looks great. I am keen to have a final reading now so that it can go to press. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
