Of more than 4,000 pilots, not one fit in the average range for every measurement.

Collaborative education is a pedagogical approach centered on students interacting and learning together. This approach goes against the traditional format of information flowing one way, from teacher to students. Instead, students become part of the teaching process in a collaborative environment where they build knowledge with their peers. In the U.S., a reported 93 percent of households adopted distanced learning during the pandemic, leading to a radical, home-based learning approach.
