Academic Technology

Here at Dickinson we embrace the old and new in the classroom. Students in our sculpture classes use everything from simple cardboard boxes to 3d modeling and printing. Classes on world empires combine primary texts hundreds of years old with a modified version of the computer game Civilization VI, created by our own students, specifically for this course.

Whether helping students practice a foreign language by connecting via Zoom with native speakers on the other side of the world or working with students to build an augmented reality Civil War walking tour in a history class, Dickinson faculty regularly look for innovative ways to enhance their teaching with the latest state of the art tools. Our academic technology staff ensures that faculty are not only up on the latest in high-tech, but also understand when technology truly enhances learning and when it merely distracts.
