Like any educational environment, the spirit of CNDLS comes from the people. The CNDLS team is an eclectic group of teachers and scholars who share a passion for new approaches to teaching and learning. Everyone from instructional design enthusiasts to technology experts contributes to our collaborative workspace and ‘workshop’ for innovative ideas in education.
The Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship owes much of its success and forward momentum to its collaboration with the organizations listed here. These partners reflect the broad mission of CNDLS, situating our projects, products, and inquiries within a strong and diverse community of resources.
Over the years, the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship has benefited from the diligent dedication of professionals and experts whose diverse portfolio demonstrated excellence and innovation in learning and scholarship. CNDLS is grateful for their generous contribution as past members of the team and looks forward to applauding their accomplishments as parts of a growing network of friends and colleagues.
CNDLS team members love working with — and have great respect for — the faculty they support. Many CNDLS staffers also teach in the University or participate in the Georgetown community through committee work, extracurricular activities, or their own research.
