Active Learning Center results included fewer poorly-performing students, more highly-rated teachers and, at one school, 100 percent of the teachers surveyed wanted to use the Active Learning Center again. These are just a few of the positive results three former Steelcase Education Active Learning Center Grant<\/a> (ALC Grant) recipients shared at this year\u2019s ELI Annual Meeting<\/a> \u2014 a place where higher education institutions and organizations committed to advancing learning through information technology innovation come together every year.<\/p>\n

Connecticut\u2019s Fairfield University, California State University Los Angeles, and St. Edward\u2019s University in Austin, Texas were already developing active learning pedagogies when Steelcase Education awarded them ALC Grants in 2015. As they shared their learnings with fellow educators at ELI, they concluded active learning can be boiled down to a simple equation:<\/p>\n
