Learning Technologies
Today's students must have the right knowledge and skills to succeed in the 21st century. SRI sees technology as a tool for improving teaching and learning. Learning technologies can be applied to formative assessments of student learning, enhance the curriculum, and support sustainable advances in instructional strategies and teacher professional development.
SRI's Center for Technology in Learning uses technology to enable students to learn important but difficult concepts and skills. The Center helps teachers and schools learn to harness technologies such as visualizations of mathematical relationships, technologies that enable effective peer collaboration, and formative assessments that provide nearly instant feedback to guide teaching and learning.
Center researchers often design formative assessment techniques, as well as new teaching and learning approaches for and study innovations in settings where students face challenges of poverty and other inequities. Our goal is to enable all students to acquire the knowledge and skills they most need to succeed in the 21st century.
