High-Impact Educational Practices
High-Impact Educational Practices (HIPs) are a set of evidence-based teaching and
learning practices that have been shown to improve learning, sustain and promote knowledge
transfer, and increase student retention and completion rates.
High-Impact Educational Practices at UAA
UAA incorporates many High-Impact Educational Practices in its academics and student programming. These HIPS are ones faculty may want to explore for integration into their courses:
- ePortfolio
- Community-Engaged Learning
- Undergraduate Research
- Open Educational Resources
What Makes These High-Impact Educational Practices?
George Kuh and the Association of American Colleges & University identified these High-Impact Educational Practices through research on the National Survey on Student Engagement (NSSE). Learn more about HIPS at the AAC&U.
