The Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL) was established in March 1999 under the Provost Office at Columbia University. The mission of the Center is to enhancing teaching and learning through the purposeful use of technology and new media. CCNMTL staff work closely with faculty partners to provide support ranging from the construction of course websites to the development of elaborate custom-made projects. CCNMTL uses the design research methodology, an iterative cycle of discovery, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. CCNMTL is now part of Columbia's Information Services Division, which includes the Columbia University Library System.
