Learning
Sciences Institute: The Learning Sciences Institute (LSI) is one of a
handful of trans-institutional programs selected by Vanderbilt University for
strategic investment. It is Peabody College's foremost research initiative. The
core goal of the LSI is to transform education by enlarging our understanding of
the different ways that people learn and by designing innovative new teaching
practices that meet the diverse needs of learners of all ages and across the
globe.
Institute for Software
Integrated Systems: ISIS has developed a large number of visual languages
for modeling complex systems. Designing and implementing modeling languages for
domain-specific applications is one of the key characteristics of our research.
ISIS had developed a technology for authoring standards-compliant courseware
from graphical models.
Center for Teaching:
The Vanderbilt University Center for Teaching works collaboratively with
individuals and units across the university to foster and sustain a culture that
practices, values, and rewards university teaching and learning as vital forms
of scholarship.
Associate Provost's Office for Innovation through
Technology:
This office helps identify ways to promote teaching and discovery
through innovative uses of current and emerging technology.
Faculty Innovations
Profile Project: The Faculty Innovations Profile Project (FIPP) encourages
faculty and graduate students to work collaboratively to enhance teaching and
learning through innovative uses of technology. FIPP's online community
supports communication, connection and sharing among the project's participants.
FIPP members can post innovative ideas, experiences, methods and materials - in
the form of summaries, documents or Web-based resources - for fellow members to
search, read and respond. FIPP is a joint initiative of the Carnegie
Foundation, Columbia University, MIT, Northwestern University, Penn State
University, Texas A&M University, the University of Texas, and Vanderbilt
University.
Office of Science
Outreach: The Office of Science Outreach is dedicated to enhancing the
classroom experience by increasing the use of technology, providing professional
development opportunities to teachers, and encouraging connections between
science experts and classrooms.
