We present the first HI spectral line images of the nearby, star-formingdwarf galaxies UGC11411 and UGC 8245, acquired as part of the "Observing forUniversity Classes" program with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA).These low-resolution images localize the HI gas and reveal the bulk kinematicsof each system. Comparing with HST broadband and ground-based H{\alpha}imaging, we find that the ongoing star formation in each galaxy is associatedwith the highest HI mass surface density regions. UGC 8245 has a much lowercurrent star formation rate than UGC 11411, which harbors very high surfacebrightness H{\alpha} emission in the inner disk and diffuse, lower surfacebrightness nebular gas that extends well beyond the stellar disk as traced byHST. We measure the dynamical masses of each galaxy and find that the halo ofUGC 11411 is more than an order of magnitude more massive than the halo of UGC8245, even though the HI and stellar masses of the sources are similar. We showthat UGC8245 shares similar physical properties with other well-studiedlow-mass galaxies, while UGC11411 is more highly dark matter dominated. Bothsystems have negative peculiar velocities that are associated with a coherentflow of nearby galaxies at high supergalactic latitude.
