Center for Education Innovation
The Center for Education Innovation and Research (CEIR) in the College of Computing and Informatics at UNC Charlotte was established in 2013 as a focus for research in computer science education and for the development and coordination of externally funded projects that incorporate strategies and new technologies for innovation in computing and informatics education. The CEIR comprises an active community of interdisciplinary faculty and graduate students involved in research and teaching practice that enables education innovation. The research and outreach projects include the development and study of innovations in pedagogy and technology in CS education, and research that broadens participation in computing. CEIR projects are strategic in their approaches to making positive changes in computing education that improve the quality of the learning experience and the competence of our graduates while being results-driven to increase retention and reduce average time to graduation in the College. The Center supports the scholarship of teaching and learning via workshops, seminars and institutes.
