2024-04-26, 2024-03-29, 2024-02-23, 2024-01-26, 2023-12-29
Reclaim Roundup is a monthly newsletter collecting all the work we’ve done that month, from community events to recent blog posts to brand new support documentation. The Roundup covers announcements directly about Reclaim, yes, but it’ll also include updates on projects, tutorials you can follow along with, and community conversations that you’re invited to participate in. A lot goes on backstage at Reclaim Hosting, and we want to share it all with you.

Flex Course: Newsletters with Ghost!
2024-04-15 - 2024-05-03
We can’t stay away! In April we’ll be planning a flex course all about Ghost and self-hosting your own Newsletter. “But Reclaim,” you say, “didn’t you do that one already?” Yes, but that was over a year ago! The Ghost platform has grown and evolved a lot since our last flex course, so we’re declaring an honorary spooky season this spring and hosting a new one from April 15th to May 3rd, where we’ll talk about Ghost – how we use it, how it’s grown and changed, and how our use of it has grown and changed.
Session 1: What is Ghost?

Reclaim TV: OER Preview! Reclaiming #Edtech4life in Open Education
2024-03-22 10:00 - 11:00
How do you make innovation work when the day job as an (edtech) educator gets ever busier? Where do you find not only solutions to practical problems but someone who speaks your language? When your day job is largely edtech-focused and your focus is in practice, not policy or research, it can be challenging to find communities of practice that advocate for open – open in the sense of software and licencing, but also open in the sense that the community is welcoming, open to new ideas, and open to change.
Over the past 10 years our organisation has built a growing community of practice on the back of our day to day business activities. Yes, we are a small commercial company, but we bring a lot of expertise of working in Higher Ed to the table and we walk the walk of open education.
In this presentation we’ll share practical approaches inspired by communities like Equity Unbound and the ALT Open Education Special Interest Group to connect with educators and edtechs from across the US and internationally sharing practice via community chats, micro courses, live streams and radio shows. We’ll share lessons learnt from running a hub for professional development every day of the year, a place in which open educators can engage in anything from trouble-shooting wordpress installations to tinkering with next generation tools. We offer a safe space to explore with peers, to play, to fail and make new connections along the way.

Admin Workshop: DoOO & WPMS 101
2024-02-21 - 2024-02-22
The Reclaim Hosting team will be running a virtual workshop about all things Domain of One’s Own and WordPress Multisite! We’re looking to gather a group of administrators from various schools to come together (virtually) for a training and discussion around these two platforms. The workshop would provide both applied training and concrete examples of both administering and teaching with Domain of One’s Own and WordPress Multisite, along with one-on-one time with Reclaim Hosting, as well as other present institutions.
The workshop is broken up into two distinct days. Day 1 will be dedicated to getting you comfortable administering and troubleshooting Domain of One’s Own, and Day 2 will focus on WordPress Multisite. Both days will start out at 12pm ET and end by 5pm ET. You can sign up for either or both days, whatever piques your interest!
On Day 1, which is focused around Domain of One’s Own, you can expect to learn about:

The systems that power DoOO and how they work together
Tools used to manage users and accounts in DoOO
Troubleshooting broken sites and what to do when things aren’t working
Building engagement and growing your DoOO initiative sustainably

On Day 2, the WordPress Multisite focused day, you can expect to learn about:

The basics of administering WordPress Multisite
Customizing your multisite with themes and plugins
Building your Multisite out to best support your goals
Workflows that will save you time and effort

Workshop Cost
You can register for a single day of the workshop for $195 per person, or both days at $350 per person.

January Community Chat - Your Campus in the Cloud
2024-01-17 12:00 - 13:00
Every month we host a video call on various topics that we call our Community Chats! Anyone is welcome, and the format is flexible and informal.
We also have recordings of all of our past community Chats, if you want to check them out!

In January, Reclaim will be talking more about .edu websites and the infrastructure that goes into them. We’ve talked about it before, months and months ago, and now we’re bringing it back.
Now here at Reclaim, we’re always a fan of WordPress and a good old multiregion failover setup. But this is a Community Chat, and we want to hear from you. What platform does your school use to manage their top-level .edu site? What are the benefits and drawbacks? If you could build it, what would you look for?
