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.

Students may use Domain of One’s Own for a course, program, or academic project as long as they have a faculty or staff sponsor. The sponsor needs to confirm the project and be added to the site as a User.

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
