Welcome to the Center for Empowered Learning and Development with Technology!

There is a dire need for researchers who are tasked with studying learning with technology to have deep knowledge of the history, culture and development of people in urban communities. Understanding digital learning in classrooms, for example, requires researchers to not only be well versed in learning theory and pedagogy, but child, adolescent and adult development. A diverse, multidisciplinary research team skilled at inclusive research design and knowledgeable about issues of equity is also a necessity.
