Learning Research

The Learning Research team conducts and supports applied learning research on campus through the fields of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL), Discipline-Based Educational Research (DEBER), Learning Sciences, and Learning Analytics.  To reduce barriers for educational research on campus, the lab has an Institutional Umbrella IRB for low risk pedagogical studies.  We can also work with you on survey design, administration, analysis, and visualization; focus group and interview support; and learning analytics with data access, analysis, and visualization.

We also support the Learning Research Lab, a hub to connect researchers, designers, educators, and scholar-practitioners who are interested in studying, designing, and building learning ecosystems that maximize learning. Our network includes faculty (tenure-track, teaching, and professor of the practice across the disciplines), staff (OIT, instructional designers, and advisors), and students (undergraduate and graduate research assistants).
