Join me for a conversation with special guest Jim Groom as we talk about being a robot in a co-working space, teaching Slack to make jokes and building a blog studio in Trento, Italy!
If you, like me, are already a life-long fan of Jim's work, you are in for a special treat, and if you are just discovering the wonderful world of the bava, this is a perfect introduction.
Mentioned in this episode:
Jim Groom, formerly Executive Director of the Division of Teaching and Learning Technologies at the University of Mary Washington, has been working towards the idea of Domain of One‘s Own as far back as 2008 and has been dreaming of this opportunity for years. In the Spring of 2011 he opened up a digital storytelling course called “ds106” for anyone to take openly online and hundreds of people participated and continue to give back to that community. In Spring of 2013 he joined a group of hackers and thinkers at MIT to think about how an online framework could allow people to seamlessly syndicate the work they do across the web in a space of their own both on an academic and personal level. In Fall of 2015 he went full time with Reclaim Hosting and has not looked back since. #4life
