Hello!

It has been so helpful to see how everyone is approaching this challenge & to learn from your examples.

Thanks to each of you for sharing.

I took some time this evening to explore the ORCID ID, too, which was something I hadn’t heard about before the mini-challenge.

Here is a link to my…[Read more]

Made a few updates to include more information, though this also made me realize that there is more I should do. Here is the update thus far: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/catherineannwin/

It’s a work in progress, but:

I serve as the Writing Program Administrator for the department as well as on…[Read more]

Hi All,

Here’s my profile. Like many of us, I’ll probably add a few things between now and the deadline, especially the “about me” section.

And I’ll have to find a better head shot for the profile image than the one have right now.

https://hcommons-staging.org/members/sbanville/.

I’ve tweaked my “About” section a little bit to give it more of a human face (or at least tone), and added some upcoming events. I also added an interest and changed by cover image to something more identifiably “archival”. I may not have time to do more for this particular challenge by 9 June, but look forward to the next one!

Here I…[Read more]

Hello all!

I just finished updating my profile and boy, did it feel good to say that I recently completed my Ph.D.! That said, since I’m in a transitional period right now, I was a bit unsure of what to list as my academic affiliation and addresses/email addresses on my CV and on the site, but soon I will have new official ones for my job in…[Read more]

Caitlin,

My profile picture was the clearest photo I could find that had been taken in the last 10 years. 😀

My cover photo is a picture I took in the British Museum several years ago, and it’s relevant to my Victorian/British studies research. I use these two pictures across all of my social media platforms as well as my website.

I’d like to…[Read more]

Hello!

I had some information on my profile already, but wanted to add more.

I’ve added:
my CV (love the feature; great for juniors like me!),
an About (kept it brief, and added a personal tone),
Education (very easy to do, copy+paste from CV, really),
Cover image (I had a profile photo already, which people who know me think ‘it’s very me’;…[Read more]

Hello!  After a few passes through it, here’s my profile so far: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/jvaught/

I had one, but it needed a tone and content overhaul.  Great suggestions from the challenge and excellent examples from the group helped quite a bit!

As for photos, I had headshots done by a photography student friend a while back an…[Read more]

Wow, so far this first challenge is off to a great start! Thanks to all who’ve shared their profiles so far- they look stellar!

I’m also excited to see that some questions are being raised and discussions are starting regarding the profile page (thanks, Sara and Kate!).

The question regarding how to determine what qualifies as an ‘appropriate’…[Read more]

Like Sara Santos, I’ve debated what the profile picture and cover photo should be for a professional context. As a user, I appreciate the pictures that clearly show a face so I can connect the digital presence to a colleague I’ve seen at conferences, but I also appreciate the pictures that are more interesting than just a professional…[Read more]

Here’s what I have so far: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/mollief/. I’ll probably tinker with it a bit more.

Hello! Click here for my updated profile! I’ve had one for some months, but I’ve updated the information on most sections – also, new profile pic!

A couple of things that came to my mind while working on the profile were: 1) is my current picture “appropriate” for an academic profile? 2) is there a preferred length for the “about” section? In…[Read more]

Like all of you, I expect to revise what I’ve done thus far as I’m inspired by others’ profiles: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/leighbonds/

Like Kirsten commented, I am open to making changes before the deadline, especially as I get to see others’ profiles and get inspired!

Hi there! I’m Dana Gavin, wrapping up coursework in my PhD studies at Old Dominion University while I teach at Marist College. I am excited to learn more about being a very deliberate and thoughtful online communicator. For example, academic Twitter has been a joy for me, but I want to make sure I am proceeding forward with best practices in mind.…[Read more]
