The Centre for Excellence in Advanced Learning and Technology (CEALT) The field of technology-enhanced learning is a new and growing phenomena; access to new learning tools via technological advancements has and will continue to expand exponentially. Emergent national and international trends on the development, adoption, and commercialization of Advanced Learning and Technology (ALT) is a sector poised to generate billions of dollars in revenue and hundreds of higher paying, higher-skilled jobs in the years ahead as organizations increase their investment and expenditures in technology-enabled learning.
The CEALT initiative is comprised of three core pillars: research and development, capacity generation, and infrastructure development. Collectively, these pillars will establish the foundation for a technology ecosystem that connects ALT partners to the right resources, opportunities, and markets for success regionally, nationally, and globally. Research and Development will be integrated with the technologies and methodologies associated with ALT in order to produce innovative and sophisticated commercial products, services, and practices that enable ALT partners to capitalize on emergent markets.
Capacity Generation will focus on the development and growth of an ALT workforce to allow ALT partners to expand and thrive in a competitive global market.
Infrastructure Development will focus on the development of specialized physical infrastructure to support the research, development, and commercialization endeavours associated with this initiative, as well as the improved alignment of supporting educational and financial programs within a Centre of Excellence organizational framework.
