Bucknell University is awarding a postdoctoral fellowship to a scholar who

in blended learning environments in undergraduate classrooms. Appointment

As a member of the professional staff of Instructional Technology (ITEC) at
Bucknell, this fellow will collaborate with faculty and administrators to
explore possibilities for hybrid-learning at our residential liberal arts

presidential task force report on Integrating Open Education Resources and
Residential Learning, the fellow will help Bucknell outline a strategy for
how to incorporate digital and hybrid pedagogical practices that enhance
student engagement and learning while maintaining the benefits of the
residential liberal arts experience.
Depending on the fellow’s particular experience and interests, his/her
responsibilities may include:
– consulting with faculty across disciplines and departments to deepen
their understanding of the challenges and opportunities they face when
integrating technology into their pedagogy and instructional practices.
– collaborating with faculty to redesign courses to incorporate online
modules and other learning materials, ensuring along the way that the
University is following best practices in digital pedagogy.
– partnering with faculty and colleagues in Library & ITEC to encourage
the use of open educational resources.
– collaborating with colleagues to provide specialized instruction,
advice, and guidance in the application of technology to faculty, staff,
and student work.
– developing guidelines regarding how to best assess the impact that
technology has on students’ engagement and learning.
– planning, developing and facilitating ongoing campus initiatives such
as: flipped classroom instructional strategies; new courses and new course
designs; ePortfolio adoptions; the University’s learning management system
(Moodle); active classroom design; and the integration of web technologies.
– conducting an environmental scan of how other institutions have
approached the implementation of hybrid and digital pedagogy practices.
– leading workshops and class sessions on how, when and why to
incorporate digital tools in the classroom.
– actively participating in the hybrid and digital pedagogy profession
at both the regional and national level, including the opportunity to
travel for conferences, workshops, and site visits.
– depending on departmental needs and the fellow’s interests, she or he
may be invited to design, teach, and advise a university course.
We seek a candidate who will embrace hard work, dedication, and laughter
while working in a team-oriented group. In addition, he/she should be
naturally curious, possess a willingness to embrace change, take
intellectual risks, challenge assumptions, and relish tinkering with new
technologies. The fellow is expected to contribute to Bucknell’s commitment
to diversity and inclusiveness.
