CEI Newsletter | 2025 OCT

What really drives learning? 📚 In our latest issue, we ask students how active learning stacks up against traditional lectures—when does participation ignite real understanding, and when does it fall short?

We chat with the creators of StashTag, an innovative, student-built tool that helps track when and where learners get stuck, making feedback with instructors more effective. Plus, dive into our case study on building a GPT Agent-powered educational mini-game: see how the concept went from idea to working prototype, and get tips to kick-start your own projects!
