Coming Soon: Hacks for Hybrid Working

I’m delighted to be joining Dr. Maren Deepwell in just a few short weeks to host Reclaim Hosting’s newest flex course, Hacks for Hybrid Working. We’ll be meeting over the course of 4 weeks beginning late October through November to unpack hybrid working and all that it entails. I’m really looking forward to diving further into personal working habits that take shape in virtual/hybrid settings, evaluating our relationships with digital tools, and building out a Hybrid Working Roadmap.

Consolidating Workshop Event Sites

In preparation for exciting announcements about Instructional Technology at Reclaim Hosting, I thought it was finally time to consolidate past workshop event sites. If tinkering around on the web has taught me anything, it’s that if you’re not careful about how you are setting up digital projects from the start, …

A Trip to Wake Forest

Right after the Domains19 Conference, Jim and I had the pleasure of visiting Wake Forest University for a two-day workshop around administering their new Domain of One’s Own instance, Wake Sites. I always appreciate this one-on-one time we can have we schools when afforded the opportunity, and our time at WFU was nothing but productive and rewarding. On the first morning, we met up with Carrie Johnston, Digital Humanities Research…

OER19 Notes, Thoughts, and Reflections

I’m sitting in my home office, staring down at my little, blue notebook full of OER19 scribbles, and a bit in disbelief that the two-day conference has already come and gone. Last week I had the pleasure of returning to OER for the second time to participate in conversations surrounding this year’s theme: Recentering Open. I was also there to help represent Reclaim Hosting with Jim and Meredith, and I…

Michigan Domains Workshops, as told by Twitter

A few weeks back Jim and I had the pleasure of visiting two of our Domain of One’s Own schools, Lansing Community College and Michigan State University, for a good old fashioned pow wow. I had never been to Michigan before, so visiting in the dead of February after an arctic blast was everything and then some. We were fairly active on Twitter during our 3 workshop days, so I…

Roadshow Website

To piggyback off of Jim’s recent post on our new Reclaim Roadshow artwork created by Bryan Mathers, I wanted to announce that the new Reclaim Roadshow Website is now live! I’ve worked on quite a few websites for Reclaim Hosting, and this Roadshow site is easily a favorite. Simple in concept, but the metaphor is so. good. I’ll share a screen capture with my design ideas below, but I also recommend…

Skidmore Workshop: Reclaim Roadshow

A few weeks ago Jim and I had the pleasure of running our very first Reclaim Roadshow in upstate New York at Skidmore College. We’ve done variants of this Domain of One’s Own administrator workshop in the past, but it was always in Fredericksburg, Va at Reclaim Hosting HQ. These worked well enough, but being able to take this content on the road now means that we’re able to reach…
