Research Projects

Most of the CEEO's research projects involve collaborations with other educational research centers and/or non-Tufts research professors. Each research project falls under one of two tracks: educational-focused or technology-focused. The educational-focused research looks closely at how the student learns or how the teacher teaches; the technology-focused research involves how a technology or tool in the classroom impacts learning. Click on the respective tabs below to find out more about each research project.
