Like any educational environment, the spirit of CNDLS comes from the people. The CNDLS team is an eclectic group of teachers and scholars who share a passion for new approaches to teaching and learning. Everyone from instructional design enthusiasts to technology experts contributes to our collaborative workspace and ‘workshop’ for innovative ideas in education.
CNDLS team members love working with — and have great respect for — the faculty they support. Many CNDLS staffers also teach in the University or participate in the Georgetown community through committee work, extracurricular activities, or their own research.
