CTE's Support

Faculty members are encouraged to reflect and research on their teaching and learning practices. CTE provides support in the following areas:

  • Evidence-based and literature-informed consultations.
  • Sharing of good practices to evaluate the impact of technology adoption on learning outcomes (for projects developed with CTE).
  • Platforms for faculty members to share their educational research findings with the community.

Please check with the Institutional Review Board (IRB) secretariat at irb [at] smu.edu.sg for guidelines on protecting human subjects involved in research projects.
