Facilities and Services
Academic and Research Services: The Center for Instructional Excellence

The Center for Instructional Excellence

The Center for Instructional Excellence (CIE) provides a wide variety of instructional development and assessment and evaluation services. Visit CIE's Web site at www.cie.purdue.edu for extensive information about CIE, including workshop registration, other Purdue instructional programs and initiatives, and resources about college teaching and faculty development. CIE can be reached at 49-66422.

CIE supports and provides central leadership for service learning as a major campus pedagogy for the Office of the Provost, the Office of Engagement, and the Service Engagement Advisory Board (SEAB). CIE also coordinates the Community of Service Learning Faculty Fellows and the Service-Learning Faculty Development grant programs.

Instructional Data Processing (IDP)
(IDP, STEW G-39)
Instructional Data Processing provides confidential, secure, and reliable processing of course-related data for Purdue faculty. These services include course and instructor evaluation, test scoring and analysis, and an academic record-keeping system. Projects are implemented in close collaboration with the Center for Instructional Excellence.

Center for Instructional Excellence (CIE — Main Office, YONG 730)
CIE serves the teaching and learning communities of Purdue through initiatives and partnerships that promote the application of, and research in, effective college pedagogy. CIE provides instruction and consultation for faculty members and teaching assistants, with emphasis on continuous improvement in all aspects of teaching, learning, and their assessment and evaluation.

CIE also provides leadership for and collaboration with faculty members, instructors, and academic units who wish to initiate contributions to (research in) the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL), or Service-Learning Pedagogy and course development.

CIE offers College Teaching Workshops throughout the academic year and provides leadership for and collaborates with academic units to create individualized workshops or projects. CIE supports instructors and academic units in assessing and evaluating their teaching, student learning, courses, and curricula through Informal Early Feedback, Critical Incident Feedback, peer review, portfolios and/or self-review, focus groups, and Small Group Instructional Diagnoses. CIE also supports academic units in their use of the Purdue Instructor and Course Evaluation System (PICES) and other end-of-the-semester evaluation systems.

Because the Purdue Teaching Academy
and the Committee for the Education of Teaching Assistants (CETA) act in advisory capacities to CIE, the center administers many of their programs and projects, including the annual Purdue All-Campus Graduate Teaching Assistant Orientation, Teaching in the American Classroom sessions, and Professional Development for Graduate Students (through certification in one of the four tracks of the Purdue Preparing Future Faculty Program [PFFP]). CIE also is a clearinghouse and support base for campus teaching initiatives by groups external to CIE, such as Problem-Based Learning, Service Learning, Learning Communities, and Information Literacy.
