Domains vs MSU Commons - Options for Developing a Professional Website
 
MSU faculty, staff, and students have the opportunity to create professional websites, as they develop their digital presence, as they create digital pedagogy and online learning materials, and in the organization of projects and professional activities. This simple graphic explains when MSU Domains (http://msu.domains) is the suitable place for this work, and when MSU Commons (https://commons.msu.edu) is the suitable place for this work.

ASK ME ANYTHING - Kristen Mapes - Building your digital presence and website development

There are many ways to cultivate your digital presence as a scholar, and it often comes down to making decisions about what audience you are trying to reach and what activity will be manageable for you now and moving forward. In my work, I lead an 8-week long Digital Fellows program that works with faculty, staff, and graduate students to strategically develop their digital presence based around their own professional goals. I can speak to the Domains Initiative at MSU, which provides server space and website creation support, as well as to the brand-new MSU Commons, a social network and open access platform that connects MSU scholars with a wider community of over 23,000 scholars from around the world, and which also serves as MSU's institutional repository for open access materials.

I am using this semester planning worksheet to nail things down (Finally!) for two new IAH courses that I'll teach in the spring. The first course is on modern Scandinavian and Nordic authors that begins with canonical dead white guys from the late 19th century (Ibsen and Strindberg), moves through the 20th century, and finishes with 21st century queer, indigenous Greenlandic writer Niviaq Korneliussen. Basically it takes students from the rise of modern drama and symbolism through High Modernism, Postmodernism, and into the post-postmodern as manifested in Scandinavian and Nordic literature. The second such course will feature global cinema directed by and/or about contemporary women and the issues they face around the world. Related readings will come from feminist film theory and texts on intersectionality. Everything from Laura Mulvey to Kimberle Crenshaw in other words.

Last week, I developed another short explainer animation to help students/student learning teams get the ball rolling with their upcoming second collaborative project, due in a little over two weeks. The animation is based on, or informed by Harold Bloom's revised taxonomy. Here is the link for those of you who might like to take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI_W9qj38Bk

If you are interested in civic, social studies, gamified learning, or coding - you may be interested in this opportunity!

CTLI received a note that the Library of Congress is sponsoring a challenge to help improve public knowledge of civics – that is, the rights and responsibilities of citizens - by asking video game developers to create fun, lightweight video games related to civics that incorporate Library of Congress resources. The Library will award cash prizes to the winners and the games will be hosted on the Library's site for use by the public. The deadline for entries is 11/27/23.
