Center for Research on Learning and Technology

Our mission is to study and develop pioneering learning environments that foster ambitious learning practices. We are committed to advancing research and practice by tackling challenges that converge at the nexus of pedagogy, technology, learning theory, and the knowledge demands of the 21st century. Through research and development activity, we seek to address these challenges in both informal and formal settings with rigorous research methods and innovative designs.
