ABOUT LITRE
"Learning in a Technology-Rich Environment" (LITRE) is an empirical research program aimed at enhancing the extensive learning with technology opportunities available at North Carolina State University. It is the quality enhancement plan portion of NC State's reaccreditation portfolio for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Consistent with the University's mission "to create an innovative learning environment" the LITRE plan brings a faculty-based, reflective perspective to the University's strategic planning and policymaking related to student learning and learning technology.
LITRE's ultimate purpose is to improve student learning. LITRE's primary strategy is to establish an ongoing, systematic investigation into the effectiveness of technology-based innovations to improve learning. We will use the results of these investigations to build on our successes, shape future investigations, and inform campus decision-making.
The first phase of LITRE was launched in 2004 with three large first-wave projects and a faculty small-grants program. In fall 2006 LITRE moved into its second phase. During this second phase focus will be on: 1) completing the assessment of projects and grants awarded to date, 2) assembling and implementing a faculty directory of technology practices for the whole campus, and 3) choosing and assessing a few large projects that will allow for informative results about student learning.
