  • 2: Learner-Centered Learning Environments
  • 3: Knowledge-Centered Learning Environments
  • 4: Assessment-Centered Learning Environments
  • 5: Community-Centered Learning Environments
  • 6: Balanced Learning Environments

Is there a tool or format that helps faculty organize effective instruction?

  • 7: What is the STAR Legacy Cycle?
  • 8: How Is HPL Embedded Into the Cycle?

Are there modules available for faculty use that are based on learning science research and, therefore, really do increase student learning? If so, how can faculty use them?
