New centers and institutes dedicated to the proposition of bridging the gulf between pedagogy and technological advances in the college classroom are nothing new, but The Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS) is definitely one of the leaders in this important area. Based at Georgetown University, CNDLS was started in 2000 and is primarily concerned with promoting "discovery, engagement, and diversity in an ever-expanding conception of learning." By clicking on the "Projects" section of the site, visitors can learn about novel and classroom-tested pedagogical innovations in the humanities, law, and mathematics, to name but a few of the areas covered here. Visitors to each site (such as the one dedicated to online pediatric training), can read a summary of each project and then proceed to a separate website or related links. The site is rounded out by a calendar of events and contact information for those who would like to learn more about their work.
