Faculty and staff associated with each Elon Experience drafted questions specific to each experience. We then shared the draft Toolkit with students participating in multiple focus group sessions and used their feedback to revise the questions. Faculty and students from three majors piloted the questions in Fall 2020. In addition, our colleagues in the Center for Design Thinking integrated the Toolkit into an Elon By {Your} Design workshop for Elon 101 and other learning contexts. As of 2023, the FIRE2 Toolkit is available for use across Elon University. After releasing the original FIRE2 Toolkit focused on the Elon Experiences (five high-impact practices embedded in Elon University’s core curriculum), students, staff, and faculty – at Elon and other institutions – asked for a toolkit extension that offered similar reflective prompts for students’ holistic higher education experience and lifelong learning. In 2024, Jessie Moore and Paul Miller drafted new toolkit questions to support students’ engaged learning across and beyond their college experiences. Moore and Miller facilitated focus groups with students to test and revise the reflective prompts, and student feedback shaped the final questions and suggestions for use in the Facilitating Integration of and Reflection on Engaged Learning Toolkit.
