Partnering with faculty on projects that maximize student learning

Say hello: Connect with us on Twitter @SternLSL

Our projects keep the learners at the center of the learning

The Learning Science Lab collaborates with Stern faculty to co-create student-centered environments. We focus on experiences that foster deep learning, build on prior knowledge, and encourage metacognitive and reflective activities. Our work with faculty combines the latest research in the learning sciences with best practices, new technologies, and years of experience to design courses and learning objects that maximize learning.
