Description
Domain of One’s Own (DoOO) is a service allows faculty and students working on academic projects for class, research, or e-portfolios to claim a free domain name (web address) and start building their own unique website. You can use such apps as WordPress, Omeka, and Scalar to create your own website. There are 3 areas our Domain of one’s Own initiative will focus on:
WEB LITERACY:
Master the tools and technology that make up the web to build your own space online.
DIGITAL IDENTITY:
Explore the notion of digital identity and how publishing on the web can frame an identity.
RECLAIM:
Learn to take ownership and control over the content you put on the web instead of handing it to third-party publishers.
Faculty are encouraged to create a domain both for their own professional use and for the use of public course projects. Domains are not a replacement for Moodle but are rather intended to create space for faculty to:
Collaborate with students on a digital course and/or research projects
Develop data visualization projects or blogs
Showcase your own research and teaching activities
Curate your professional online presence
Have your students develop e-portfolios
Design a landing page for your academic conference or event
