The Center for Educational Computing Initiatives (CECI) was created in March 1991 to advance the state-of-the-art in the use of computation and communication technologies in education. Towards this end, CECI undertakes research and development in the application of computing and communication technologies that improve the effectiveness of learning and teaching.
CECI undertakes sponsored research that:
- Explores new technologies that might be useful in education;
- Creates new educational software applications; and,
- Studies the effectiveness of educational knowledge in meeting the goals of students and teachers.
The Center for Educational Computing Initiatives (CECI) is a research division
within CAES that focuses on advanced technologies emerging for educational
uses and evaluates their effectiveness. It was created to advance
the state-of-the-art and practical use of computation and communication
technologies for learning and teaching. A key part of CECI's mission
is to collaborate with other CAES units to create new educational
products and services.
