The transition to college is challenging for all students, and FLI students faceadditional pressures. One of the main additional challenges for FLI students relates to theeconomic burden of attending college. Not only does college cost money, but when studentsenroll in college they are often unable to earn money. For FLI students this is particularlyproblematic as many are important earners

Incorporating active learning in large classes (greaterthan 100 students) presents unique challenges in classroom management, teaching assistant andpreceptor training, and student engagement. Additionally, most active-learning techniquesinvolve extensive student interaction. However, the predominant design of classroom spaces hasfocused on lecture-style pedagogies, which further impedes the effective adoption of activelearning.Toward alleviating some of these challenges, a growing trend at universities is to createcollaborative learning spaces (CLSs) that are purposefully designed and equipped to facilitateactive learning [11].
