HOSTS AND PRESENTERS

This session will start with a use case, showing how data portability has been made possible across universities. Domain of One's Own could provide also a powerful example in how higher education could harness application programming interfaces (APIs) to build a more user-empowered data ecosystem at universities.  This introduction talk will be followed by an expert panel session.

<b>A Domain of One's Own</b>
Jim Groom, Reclaim Hosting

A Domain of One's Own is an international initiative in higher education to give students and faculty more control over their personal data. The movement started at the University of Mary Washington in 2012, and has since grown to tens of thousands of faculty and students across hundreds of universities. These Domains projects enable not only data portability for coursework, but also a reflective sense of what a digital identity might mean in terms of privacy and data ownership.
