If you have an idea for a digital scholarship project and you need help with it, we are happy to offer consultations on all stages of a digital humanities project. We have divided our consultancy in four levels, and we can help you with:
We design and develop hybrid and online courses aligned with strategic goals for resident students. We also offer one-on-one consultation sessions for faculty members looking to add new technologies to their courses, or to make the best use of a technology they are already using.
We leverage multimedia technology to engage students and create memorable learning experiences. We also help faculty and students to amplify the stories of their significant scholarly accomplishments.
We organize trainings and workshops to develop expertise, build community, and share best practices in excellent digital pedagogy and scholarship.
We collaborate with faculty to pilot new digital tools and research experimental course formats. We can help with all phases of project design, implementation, and evaluation, including sourcing funds and other resources.
We partner with offices and organizations within the College of the Liberal Arts and across the university to share resources and develop innovative learning experiences.
