Projects that involve technology often include multiple components and a significant amount of planning time. Contacting us early in the process will allow us to better assist you.

Some of the past technologies for which Digital Pedagogy & Scholarship has done in-class trainings include GIS, video production and editing, audio podcasting, and blog writing using WordPress.
- Multimedia Consultants -Digital Pedagogy & Scholarship’s Multimedia Consultants are available during evening hours in the Digital Video Editing Lab on LL1 of the Bertrand Library. Many of our Multimedia Consultants are Film/Media Studies majors or minors who have extensive experience with the video production and editing process.
- One-to-one instruction on specific technologies or projects with Digital Pedagogy & Scholarship staff is available by appointment. Write to DPS@Bucknell.edu to inquire about training possibilities.
