\"DJ-Headless-V1\"<\/a>Without an instructor how would we know when to stop? When would we see “The End”? \u00a0Thanks to Mariana Funes<\/a> for realizing that the UMW Fall semester ended on Friday, December 13th, 2013, the DS106 Headless ’13<\/a>\u00a0course was given an end date. #DS106 is #4Life, but the Fall 2013 DS106 “headless” experience came to as close to an official close as a headless course can on 12\/13\/13.<\/p>\n

The final project specs asked Headless ’13 DS106 participants<\/a>\u00a0to produce a story around a character that explores at least three of the media forms we\u2019ve investigated this semester: visual\/design, audio, video, web, remix\/mashup, with the idea of creating a narrative arc for a character that is played out in the products of\u00a0ds106 Assignments<\/a>, and woven together with context and writing as a standalone blog post.<\/em><\/p>\n

As per the DS106 culture (The ‘DS’ stands for D<\/strong>igital S<\/strong>ubversives, right?), we went rogue and our final project turned out to be a collaborative creation of a GIFaChrome Camera<\/a> which included a website<\/a>, blog posts<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0“employee” profiles<\/a> that included links to DS106 projects they created<\/a> during the semester, prototype images<\/a>, and a live product launch on DS106 Radio<\/a>. For me it\u00a0provided an opportunity to showcase the work done by all of us<\/a>. Mariana captured what she could in her Storify Collection<\/a>. \u00a0And this whirlwind adventure culminated my own intense 6 month learning curve in digital storytelling on the web. In less than two weeks my part in our final project had me practicing and honing my skills with everything I’d learned – and then some. Fortunately, I had a week’s vacation that I needed to use or lose. \u00a0I used it!<\/p>\n
