We support research and development on teaching and learning across the Duke community with an emphasis on experimental and translational learning research. We help faculty evaluate their teaching, apply learning science research, and use reliable, valid approaches to assessing student learning. We also evaluate the projects we support in order to benchmark effectiveness. Through these efforts, we help identify and promote best practices in teaching and learning and provide all Duke students with exceptional learning experiences.
