The Center for Learning Enhancement, Assessment, and Redesign (CLEAR) was established in 1998 as a service to assist faculty with the development and delivery of distributed learning at UNT. The Center combines technology resources with expert consultation and personnel, in an effort to provide faculty with a "one-stop" guide to creating quality technology-based courses (online, hybrid, and videoconference).

The Center is guided by a Steering Committee with campus-wide representation that provides guidance in the formulation of policies and strategies regarding resource allocation, long-range planning, and evaluation/accountability.

The Center for Learning Enhancement, Assessment, and Redesign supports the University's goal of enhancing learning-centered environments, thereby helping students get the most from their academic experience. Not only do we assist faculty in the creation, design, implentation, and assessment of distributed learning courses -- we also serve as the liaison for various administrative and technical support functions, thereby saving faculty's time, talent, and creative energies for their students.

CLEAR supports excellence and innovation in teaching at the University of North Texas through the University's Quality Enhancement Plan. Additionally CLEAR offers a range of services to faculty and Teaching Fellows and Assistants to facilitate teaching and the measurement of learning at the class, department, and college level.

While UNT has one of the premiere centers in the nation for serving faculty in the area of innovation in e-learning, there was a need for a specific area where faculty can go to be assisted in other areas of teaching. CLEAR fills that niche--providing a place where UNT faculty, adjuncts, and teaching assistants can obtain assistance in teaching and assessment.
