A colleague has just produced a rather natty little paper based resource on Revision and exams - top ten tips for students. You can see it below (imagine it double-sided and folded into eighths).
Revision and Exams - top ten tips

I was trying to thing how best to publish it on our website. The embedded PDF is a a bit unwieldy so I thought I'd try cropping the various images and turning them into a Flickr slide show (thanks to Steve Boneham for reminding me to embed a Flickr slide show in Wordpress - very easy with the Vodpod bookbarklet).


The other thing I've just experimented with is Animoto, complete with inappropriate Jazz soundtrack! Clearly I'd have to get the image size better proportioned, and I assume if I chose a slower soundtrack the images would be able to be on screen for longer so be more easily read - but could work.


Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

Just experimenting really. All comments gratefully received.

Update

Having moved my site from wordpress.com to full Wordpress I've just embedded the content using standard html - so you can ignore the bits about vodpod and getting things to embed in wordpress - although I'll leave them in just in case their useful to anyone.

Testing Twitter hovercards

I wonder if this will work @ajcann @jobadge @nosnilwar @cjrw etc etc

Hmphhh :(

Wonder what I'm doing wrong?

Update

D'oh! I should know by now that however much I love wordpress.com it just doesn't have the flexibility of wordpress.org.

Maybe if I put this up I'll remember this kind of thing next time. And maybe one day I'll pay to get wordpress.org hosted...

Another update

Just got this working much more simply with the apture.com/ plugin. See @ajcann
