About CNDLSCNDLS has supported faculty and graduate students with tools, resources, and opportunities for new learning environments since 2000.Center for New Designs in Learning and ScholarshipCNDLS_490cfc0e-eb0d-11eb-840f-e35d1683ea00Georgetown UniversityCNDLS is the home to the scholarship of teaching and learning at Georgetown University and is committed to fostering inclusivity. Our own staff members, in addition to faculty and graduate affiliates, are engaged in advanced research on teaching practices, assessment techniques, instructional design, student learning, and technologies to enhance the latest educational environments. Whether it's rethinking course design, assessing curriculum, or creating a dynamic digital archive, CNDLS works to align teaching practices with student learning.
CNDLS collaborates with many university divisions, including University Information Services, the Center for Social Justice Research, Teaching and Service, and many others. We are primarily supported by the Office of the Provost and UIS; however, our leadership in national projects has led to outside funding from various sources.Georgetown University FacultyGeorgetown University Graduate StudentsTeaching practices are aligned with student learning_490cfe8e-eb0d-11eb-840f-e35d1683ea00To bridge a historic gulf between pedagogy and technological advances_490cff92-eb0d-11eb-840f-e35d1683ea00LearningOur team of experienced educators facilitates a broad-based program that promotes discovery, engagement, and diversity in an ever-expanding conception of learning.DiscoveryEngagementDiversityTeaching, Learning & TechnologyIntegrate a teaching and learning center with the latest educational technology_490d005a-eb0d-11eb-840f-e35d1683ea00CNDLS integrates a teaching and learning center with the latest educational technology.PracticesCritically review postsecondary teaching practices_490d0122-eb0d-11eb-840f-e35d1683ea001Postsecondary EducatorsCNDLS encourages postsecondary educators to critically review their teaching practices.IdeasImplement their big ideas_490d01ea-eb0d-11eb-840f-e35d1683ea002We help them implement their big ideas, support their research, and incorporate technology into their course design.ResearchSupport research_490d02c6-eb0d-11eb-840f-e35d1683ea003CoursesIncorporate technology into their course design_490d0410-eb0d-11eb-840f-e35d1683ea004ApproachesRefine new educational approaches_490d04e2-eb0d-11eb-840f-e35d1683ea005We consult with them as they refine new educational approaches and design programs for assessment so that they understand their impact on students.AssessmentsDesign programs for assessment_490d05b4-eb0d-11eb-840f-e35d1683ea006We're proud to have participated in a variety of projects that successfully uncover students' learning processes.2000-12-312021-07-22OwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
