In a lot of ways the New Media Lab has become a throwback form of social networking. Many of us in the lab are on Twitter, we have blogs,  and are very much present on the web; however, the primary type of networking that occurs with the lab is personal. We talk about projects in person, we […]

• A little about me

  My name is Aaron Knoll (as per the title and URL) and I work in the New Media Lab as an advisor of sorts. I assist students working on digital media projects by being available to discuss technology, options, best practices and modern approaches to digital scholarship, as well as the applications and alternatives that are available. I use my 10+ years of experience, having worked in nearly ever IT role that has ever been dreamed up, to offer expertise, advice, and support for the directions they choose to take in their projects.

  I have fulfilled this role in the New Media Lab for over three years and look forward to continue supporting students as they ambitiously look towards the future with their digital work.
