The best online slide-set exposition of Causal Dynamical Triangulations that I have seen so far is the one that Goerlich presented at the QGQG conference on 30 June.
It makes excellent use of graphics to get across some basic features of CDT that are often missed. Such as for instance the extreme irregularity of the lattice representing a typical spatial slice.
Here's the QGQG menu of slide-sets (with audio for some of the talks as well)

Here is the link for Andy Goerlich's slides in particular---or just scroll down to Monday session C19

This presentation is geared for a wide physics audience---accessible but more detail and math than you would get in a SciAm introductory piece.
Highly recommended.
Also have to mention that Freidel's talk is fantastic (one of several fantastic talks at QGQG)
