Course Research & Redesign Project

The Center for Teaching Excellence is actively seeking proposals for Course Research and Redesign Pilot Projects that:

• enhance the quality of learning, student engagement and retention,
• employ distance learning as a major or partial component of the course, and 
• reduce overall costs.

The CTE has been awarded an LCCC Enhancement Funding Grant for Academic Transformation. The grant's purpose is to award research and redesign projects that address the future needs of our students and that reinforce the goals of LCCC's Strategic Plan: Vision 2015:

Innovative strategies will be pursued which are designed to achieve the dual goals of increasing the results achieved through programs and services while reducing the costs per student or other units of measuring service.  Research based approaches will be attempted to improve student learning and/or service delivery with a measurable reduction in per student or unit cost.  Within this milieu, increasing quality will be the hallmark of creative efforts which reduce costs.
