Key Practices for Fostering Engaged Learning

<p>This book emerges from the author’s ongoing work as director of Elon University’s Center for Engaged Learning, where for the past decade, more than 200 scholars from over 120 post-secondary institutions across more than a dozen countries have participated in multi-institutional scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL).
