Assessment and Evaluation/ Discovery Learning Research Center (DLRC)
A research center in its own right, the DLRC provides assessment and evaluation services in support of other Centers and Units on campus, as well as external evaluation for nonPurdue projects. DLRC assessment staff can provide project and external evaluation services and consultation that includes designing comprehensive evaluation plans organized around the activities that address project goals. The evaluation plans assist project management teams in assessing the quality and value of their project and provide responsive feedback regarding strengths and weaknesses of the project (formative evaluation) as well as a summary of progress toward meeting project goals (summative evaluation). DLRC assessment staff can also provide consultative services in support of proposal development and/or implementation. |

Discovery Learning Research Center (DLRC)
The Discovery Learning Research Center is a unique center that bridges the innovative research work at Purdue with the fundamental educational mission of the University. DLRC has 3 major goals: 1) catalyze large-scale, interdisciplinary research programs in teaching and learning, especially in STEM fields; 2) promote articulation between educational research and actual practice; 3) provide leadership in influencing STEM public literacy and educational policy. DLRC provides access to: evaluation and assessment expertise; planning and management for educational components of projects; research space for testing or piloting new educational technologies and pedagogies; work space for research staff on DLRC collaborative projects; connections to faculty and researchers with similar or complementary research interests and needs. |

Educational Research Facilities/Discovery Learning Research Center (DLRC)
The Discovery Learning Research Center is a 22,000 square-foot state of the art facility that occupies the first two floors of the new Hall for Discovery and Learning Research building at the NW corner of Martin Jischke and Nimitz in Discovery Park. The DLRC features unique, flexible spaces designed for educational research unlike any available nationwide. The spaces also incorporate technologies and structural features that allow for collection of research data about the learning experience. The space devoted to the DLRC is divided into three learning studios, a science laboratory, a project laboratory, a media design laboratory, collaborative group work educational space (the "atrium"), shared desk area for project personnel, office and desk areas for DLRC staff, and conference rooms. The goal for the use of any DLRC space is to further the mission of the DLRC through work on projects that will lead to innovations in teaching and learning that can be applied to improving educational practice. |
