Academic Technology Research

Last Updated: 02/13/2012
Overview 

Good teaching can really benefit from well-researched and effective educational technologies. The goal of the AT Research group is to leverage applied research for evaluating the effectiveness of educational technologies and share what we've discovered in our research. 

As research becomes available, we will post our findings at the Academic Technology Research website. The research findings will range from short summaries of relevant research studies and two-page fact sheets about topics to more in-depth write-ups of own research reports and studies.

If you have a request for a study to be done, let us know.
