An iThingr: ReCaptcha Illustrated and the Benefits of Playing with Apps
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Product Here’s my ReCaptcha Illustrated assignment for ds106. The project gave me another chance to play around with Gimp and, as students and I discussed in class today, I discovered for myself that one of the tangible benefits of struggling with some of these programs is that, once you do, you know them all the better the next time. Which is to say that though I didn’t exactly whiz through this creation, my time on task was much reduced having already played with Gimp for a previous assignment. And though it’s still not perfect, I am relatively happy with the outcome. I’m especially ...

Although this assignment and tutorial has been created as part of my contribution to the Ds106 learning community, it also has great potential as an activity/project for our Senior Years’ students. “ReCaptcha Illustrated” is a unique Visual Assignment that was proposed by Alan Levine (aka cogdog), who challenged DS106 students to: Include a screenshot of a word pair from a reCapctha in an illustration or visual mashup that shows what the words might mean. Use your imagination to create something meaningful out of the random words. When you write it up, provide some narrative that puts the image in context. ...
Visual Assignment – ReCaptcha

I love the idea behind this assignment. I have stared at countless Captchas wondering ” what in the world is that?”, I would even go and Google a word out of curiosity(usually with no luck). However, I digress. For this assignment, the ds106 gods gave me the captcha “Homeip Elected”. Upon seeing this, immediately thought of a family at home, watching elections and election campaigns. However, the president was replaced with a new profession – the PI, other wise known as Private Investigators. To make this, I once again used GIMP, which is quickly beating out Photoshop for my affection. However, this required less cutting of the ...
Recaptcha madness

Happy February to all! I thought that this week’s DS106 assignment should be something random, so I went with the illustrated recaptcha assignment suggestion whereby you are given the task to illustrate one of those random recaptcha images. I must have hit that button to give me another captcha many times because I couldn’t get inspired by any of the random text. In the end I got something that looked like Peachill Insurrection. My initial thought was something out of Super Mario (Peachill maybe something named after Princess Peach), maybe some protesting or fighting Goombas or Hammer Brothers…but I couldn’t find ...

I’m not going to shake the magic 8 ball or come up with a list of really insightful surprise predictions for 2012. Instead I’m attempting @cogdog’s new #ds106 assignment to illustrate something meaningful out of random words. ReCaptcha Predictions!

Captcha Art (ds106 assignment)

Among other TEDx Talk videos I have seen recently, the one by Luis von Ahn on Massive-scale online collaboration, Stephen Downes notwithstanding, generated a number of ideas for me. von Ahn is the man behind the idea of reCaptcha- originally a Carnegie-Mellon project eventurally gobbled up by Google. What I liked most is his example of looking differently at a problem- digitizing texts via OCR and turning a normally wasted amount of human activity- proving themselves to not be bots by entering the text into a box of scrambled letters– into a useful activity by making the captcha images not ...
