Take full control of your online presence: an introduction to Domain of One’s Own

Author: Daniel Villar-Onrubia   14th September 2016
 

256px-internet1We at DMLL believe that every student and staff member should be provided with the possibility to have their own web space (and subdomain), so they can take full control of their online presence and develop rich personal learning and teaching environments through a wide range of web applications. Because of that, this academic year we will be piloting a Domain of One’s Own (DoOO) initiative at Coventry University.

Jim Groom will be at the lab on the 20th, 21st and 22nd of September delivering a series of one-hour intro sessions aimed at Coventry University academic staff interested incorporating DoOO into their teaching practice.

The service allows account owners to install many different applications for web publishing, community building, information management and other purposes. Lecturers use this to chronicle their professional presence online, providing a user-friendly space to help them share their teaching, research, service and publications online. Moreover, this space can be used for a wide range of applications relevant to teaching: designing sites to house course resources; creating dedicated sites for research projects, exploring new tools for teaching and learning; and sandbox for exploring emerging fields.

Unlike virtual learning environments and other educational technologies that students won’t probably have to use again after graduating in their professional lives, DoOO provides students with access to a wider range of digital tools that are commonplace in a broad range of sectors including and beyond academia. The possibility of gathering and making publicly available content developed throughout their studies may enhance students’ employability, as this will help them position themselves and generate social capital even before entering the job market.

If you want to know more about the philosophy behind this initiative, we recommend taking a look this recent blog posts:
