Engaged Learning Resources

Engaged learning entails students actively and intentionally participating in their own learning, not only at discrete moments but rather as an ongoing, lifelong activity.”

Jessie L. Moore, Key Practices for Fostering Engaged Learning: A Guide for Faculty and Staff (2023, p. 3)

The Center for Engaged Learning’s research-informed guides, white papers, and multimedia resources help educators create meaningful learning experiences that foster this active, intentional, lifelong activity. Our engaged learning resources include introductions to engaged learning topics, white papers (called Elon Statements), and video series.

Our resources bring together research, practical guidance, and examples to support engaged learning in higher education.
