Introduction to the Institute Elevate Learning Experience
The purpose of the Elevate Learning Experience (ELE) is to provide students with the opportunity to have meaningful experiences with the word of God. Students are most likely to achieve this as they more fully understand, apply, and share the teachings of Jesus Christ. Completion of ONEof the following three ELE options is required to earn credit for each course:
Elevate Learning questions: Students ponder and answer study questions throughout the course. There are specific questions for each of the four Cornerstone classes as well as a general elective version for all other courses. A link to the study questions are found below.

GENERAL ELECTIVE COURSE QUESTIONS
Students regularly record what they are learning, how they are applying it, and how their experiences are strengthening their faith in Jesus Christ.
Students plan and complete a personal learning project approved by their teacher. The project demonstrates learning and application of doctrines and principles addressed in the course and summarises how the student’s faith in Jesus Christ has been strengthened.
Propose and carry out a personal learning project, approved by your teacher, in which you deepen your understanding of the course content, apply the doctrines and principles in the course, and seek to increase your faith in Jesus Christ. The following are examples of personal learning projects:
Studying a gospel topic from the course that interests you.
Identifying a real-world situation and applying the course content in a case study.
Creating a resource (e.g., social media, graphic art, music, and so forth) based on the course content that would be of value to others.
To fulfill the course requirement, the project must:
Be approved by your teacher.
Be relevant to the course content and include personal application.
Include a report of what you did and the project's value to you and others.
Prayerfully consider a project that will be meaningful to you. You may want to brainstorm project ideas with your classmates, teacher, family members, or priesthood leaders. If you have questions about the appropriateness of a project idea, talk to your teacher.
