Instructional Technology

The Kenyon Center for Innovative Pedagogy provides support for Kenyon faculty and students using technology to improve teaching and learning. We consult regularly with the academic community in the following areas, though this list is not exhaustive. We invite you to look through the learning materials we link to below, and if you have any questions, please get in touch with us.
