Change is happening at a rapid pace.

Curricular innovation enhances student learning by introducing new teaching methods or structures across courses and learning experiences. The scale of innovation depends on context—from school/college-wide initiatives, to work across the sections of high-enrollment courses, to work focused on a single course that is part of a sequence.
