CREATE is the Consortium for Research and Evaluation of Advanced Technologies in Education. It is hosted by the Program in Educational Communication and Technology in NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. Its members and affiliates engage in research on the design, critique, and evaluation of wide-ranging advanced digital technologies for learning.

CREATE’s mission is to:

• advance the cognitive science and socio-cultural foundations for the educational use of advanced digital technologies;
• develop methods and approaches for the design of technology-based learning environments, informed by a sound theoretical foundation of associated principles;
• implement models, frameworks, and examples of constructionist and instructionist digital learning environments, using these methods and based on these principles; and
• develop and apply methods and criteria for the evaluation (and e-VALUE-ation) of digial learning environments, so constructed.
