The mission of the Center for Learning Enhancement, Assessment, and Redesign (CLEAR) is to assist faculty in the development, delivery, and assessment of high-quality instruction through distributed learning technology. Our mission supports the University's goal to enhance learning-centered environments that help students get the most from their academic experience. In an effort to accomplish our mission, the Center provides UNT faculty with many services:

• Expert consultation
• Cost-effective and shared production facilities, equipment, and software
• Technically competent personnel
• Training for hardware and software
• Assistance in meeting local, state, and regional approval requirements for distance education classes
• Assistance with the use of copyrighted material
• Assistance in marketing distributed learning courses
• Launch and support UNT's Quality Enhancement Plan
• Assist faculty, adjuncts, and teaching assistants/fellows with designing, creating, implementing, and evaluating innovative classroom instruction.
• Assist new and experienced university instructors with increasing their practical and theorectical knowledge of university teaching to improve student learning.
• Disseminate pedogogical research and practical resources based on expressed faculty needs.
• Cooprate with and support other efforts at UNT that share this mission.

The Center offers a range of services to faculty, adjuncts, and teaching fellows/assistants to facilitate teaching and measuring learning at the class, department, and college level. CLEAR supports the UNT teaching community through workshops, seminars, conferences, individual consultations, and the resources available on the CLEAR website. These resources focus not only on distributive learning and course design, but on aligning theory and practice with the roles required of university instructors in lecture halls, seminar rooms, and labs across all disciplines.

The CLEAR helps faculty members maximize the University's human and equipment resources. We support faculty in their implementation of distributed learning by serving as a liaison for various administrative and technical support functions.
