Our Mandate

The Centre for Educational Technology (CET) is an integral part of the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University. The CET provides an open and supportive environment designed to encourage the evaluation and use of educational technologies to enhance learning and teaching for all members of our Faculty. We offer instructional training and support in the use of traditional and emerging technologies specifically as they relate to educational issues. The CET also provides a broad range of consulting services and technical support for both local and international initiatives within the Faculty of Education.
