Build Your Academic Portfolio Through CarlSites
CarlSites
CarlSites is a DoOO (Domain of One’s Own) instance associated with Carleton College’s main site, carleton.edu. It seeks to empower those at Carleton with the ability to create and establish their own digital identity on the web.
Create
Creating a CarlSite means creating your own space which can be used for a wide range of applications. You can start with creating a simple blog site for students to share comments on their weekly readings, or create an entire space for your course portfolio—it’s all up to you. To get a general idea of what others are doing with their CarlSite check out the Community Showcase.
