In this episode of Illuminate Higher Education, N2N Services CEO Kiran Kodithala speaks with Shaunak Roy, Founder and CEO at Yellowdig.

Yellowdig are doing something amazing, which is increasing learner engagement in K-12. They've experienced a whopping 200% increase in learner engagement across universities and community colleges. And that’s despite the problems that learning institutions face around student engagement, which are exacerbated by this hybrid world we're living in, largely due to Covid. 

We entered this remote-only learning rather abruptly, which has caused a lot of problems for students. The biggest challenge is creating and maintaining an active learner, which is a learner who is truly engaged in a particular course or program.

Most of the listening is basically sitting there and absorbing information. At the end of the class, you might have an assignment or an exercise, and that's the end of it. 

What Yellowdig view as active learning, however, is when the student is engaged in learning, they're actually contributing to the learning environment. Tune into this episode to learn how active learning can be applied to classrooms around the world.
