Don Bergland worked on a number of educational projects for DNA Productions in Vancouver, BC. In the Analysis Project, he acted as consultant to produce a series of analytical assessments of key educational multimedia products produced by DNA Productions in Vancouver. DNA was a highly innovative multimedia production company who had produced some of the most inventive educational CD-ROMS available at the time. In order to make these CD-ROMs attractive to school classroom environments, they had hired a number of educational consultants to write teaching guides for each of their products. In 1998, they were questioning the value of the guides they had commissioned. They brought in Don Bergland as a consultant to analyze the efficiency and value of the guides for the specific classroom environments they were targeting. The products selected for analysis included Starsites, The Silk Road, Klondike Days, and , Don analyzed the guides and produced a set of recommendations that DNA could follow in the future when constructing guides of this nature.

Don Bergland also worked as educational consultant and writer for the Paperfold Project. Paperfold was an origami education site jointly produced by the National Film Board (NFB) and DNA Productions Inc. The site contained an Origami Magazine and an Education section consisting of a grade 4-7 curriculum based on the Magazine materials. The project was innovative for the time. Although the origami content was traditional, the actual method of website interactivity was technologically radical. Using a combination of Flash ActionScripting, narrated movies, and dimensional learning exposures, it offered a unique educational experience for 1998. The origami content was based on the inventive artistic work of Joseph Wu. Don Bergland was brought in as the educational consultant with the task of monitoring the website learning features, designing the educational interface, and writing all the lesson modules for the project. The website consisted of an “issue-based” approach and an education area containing both Teacher and Student versions.
