Games? We’ve got games, including a new setup with the Oculus Rift, Playstation 3 and 4, XBox 360 and XBox One. Games in English and other foreign languages.

Of course, we do media. Check out cameras, speakers, audio recorders and more. We’ll also help you with that IMovie project, podcast, or even a personal digital portfolio.
For faculty
Digital Projects
If you’re interested in assigning a digital project to your class, we can help you craft the assignment, show you previous examples from other courses, and come train your class.
Learning Management System
We support other aspects of your teaching as well, including Brightspace by D2L, Moodle and smart classrooms.
Digital Projects
We also help faculty build digital projects focusing on their area of research. Some example projects:
Mixxer Language Exchange – a social networking site for language learners.
House Divided – a digital archive of the Civil War
Dickinson College Commentaries – a site for teaching Latin.
Michael Field – an annotated collection of poems from Michael Field.
