Agenda

  • Welcome
  • Introductions: short 2 minute introductions of attendees with an optional brief demonstration of something you've done on your domain or purpose for which you're using your domain.
  • Group photo for those who wish to participate
  • Main meetup: Ideally everyone should bring a topic, demonstration, question, or problem to discuss with the group. Depending on time and interest, we can try to spend 5-10 minutes discussing and providing feedback on each of these. If questions go over this time limitation, we can extend the conversation in smaller groups as necessary after the meetup.

    • Tim Clarke here, my long-neglected personal domain is https://simulacrumbly.com. I have a super simple but really positive use of WordPress in this past spring semester. I co-taught a Mapping Religion with the awesome Sharon Albert. Our class that integrated Religion Studies and Geographic Information Systems/Science. I used the Escapade theme (https://wordpress.org/themes/escapade/), and the A-Z Listing plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/a-z-listing/) to make our discussion work happen around the creation of a crowdsourced glossary for our readings. I created accounts for everyone within a wordpress site on my own DoOO, and bought a $5 domain name to drop on top. You can see the results at http://mappingreligion.website . If you're looking to get away from the conventional discussion board in a Learning Management System, and also to model how to find organizing themes and concepts across readings, this might be a fun thing to try. Thanks! Please reach out if I can be helpful.
    • Tim, Did you and your students create the map that's linked in the header also? TC: that header is borrowed from a really cool DH project, the Agas Map of Early Modern London - https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca/agas.htm. I highlighted some churches and took a screenshot for the banner of our glossary.
