FLC adaptations during three-year implementationThe goal of the UNC KEEN FLC was to integrate and increase the use of EML-based strategiesto improve learning for students. However, the FLC was intended to also improve facultyinstruction with evidence-based approaches. Over the three iterations of the FLC, we adapted thecurriculum topics and approach based on our observations of the needs of the participants. We faced many challenges during the first year of the UNC KEEN FLC Program. Thecurriculum was initially designed to focus strictly on the outcomes and components of the KEENFramework. Secondly, the

To help resolve issues related to spaces for studentwork, projects, and labs, the recommendations were focused on clearly identifying safety issuesrelated to the activities allowed in the spaces, the time of the day the spaces are open to students,and the need to have secured access and monitoring of the spaces.

It is recommended that engineeringschools and colleges offer these experiences, especially for engineering instructors formallytrained in technical and disciplinary areas. Anecdotal evidence suggests this approach works for the following reasons. First, itpromotes accountability. Second, it allows for networking. Third, it encourages collaborationsacross projects. Fourth, the virtual nature of the program increases accessibility and equity. Fifth,there are multiple incentives (in addition to the four previously mentioned), including a stipendand
