How Can We Help?

The department of Learning Culture & Innovation (LC&I) provides professional development, training, and information resources for SJR State and supports faculty using educational technology online and in the classroom. LC&I also organizes and facilitates various College initiatives.

As we develop the programs and resources provided LC&I, we'd love to hear your ideas for training, professional development, or events! Contact us anytime - we're excited about the possibilities and can't work to work with you!

About Learning Culture and "The Center"

Learning culture refers to the shared values and practices within an organization that shape, promote, and reflect the organization's commitment to continuous learning, growth, and adaptation. In a thriving learning culture, individuals are encouraged and supported to acquire new skills, knowledge, and perspectives. Learning is seen as a collective, ongoing process, not a one-time event. An organization with a vibrant learning culture prioritizes professional development, reflection, and innovation while valuing curiosity and the ability to learn from failures as well as successes. The department of Learning Culture & Innovation along with its web site, The Center for Learning Culture (The Center, for short), was created in 2023 with these principles in mind.
