When has now been established - September 12 is the official rollout target!

Goals:

  • Become familiar with the possibilities afforded by the Domain of One’s Own initiative
  • Develop a conceptual understanding of how the Web works
  • Begin to develop a working knowledge of how to build a site that represents you as a teacher and scholar
  • Explore the implications of digital scholarship and networks on your own teaching and disciplinary interests
  • Discover and reach out to your own online scholarly network
  • Create a “product" (your site/blog) that is a representation of your thinking through this process
  • Faculty ownership of their scholarship.
  • UNF becoming part of a nationwide research project (community) in the use of open-source tools.

Digital Pedagogy


Remember - these sites are like gardens. They need to be tended to, and occasionally weeded and fertilized (please, only virtual fertilizer). With WordPress, there are plugins that will assist you with things like broken links and spam in comments. Remember this is your online identity. It needs to be constantly managed, but with that management, it means that you will have the most control over it.
