Designed to support deeper, more impactful learning experiences for students, the Engaged Learning section of the Center for Engaged Learning (CEL) website offers all users a comprehensive collection of free, evidence-based resources. Through carefully crafted tools and guides, this section provides invaluable support for enhancing teaching and fostering dynamic student engagement.
Educators will find a diverse range of resources tailored to meet various teaching and learning needs and to create inclusive and transformative experiences for all students. Featured resources include introductions to engaged learning topics, white papers (“Elon Statements”) and video series.
Faculty seeking to enhance experiential learning can explore insights on immersive learning, internships, service-learning and work-integrated learning- resources intended to help students forge real-world connections with their academic studies.
The collection offers resources on Capstone Experiences to support the development of meaningful culminating projects, along with the Facilitating Integration and Reflection of the Elon Experiences FIRE Toolkit, which provides guidance for mentoring students’ reflection on their academic and co- curricular learning.
For those focusing on inclusion and equity, the section includes resources like High-Impact Practices and Historically Underrepresented Minority Students and Supporting Neurodiverse and Physically Disabled Students in Engaged Learning, which offer evidence-based strategies to create equitable learning environments for all students.
Further insights include learning communities and residential learning communities as a high-impact practice to foster community-centered learning environments, as well as mentoring matters and undergraduate research for faculty guiding students in academic research and personal growth. To encourage collaboration in and beyond the classroom, there are featured resources and Students as Partners, as well as materials like Writing Beyond the University and Transfer of Writing Knowledge and Practices to enhance writing skills. Faculty can also explore the Video Series, which offers accessible and engaging content on various aspects of engaged learning.
