In the late 1940s, U.S. Air Force pilots were crashing planes without any explanation. The Air Force conducted a study of key measurements such as height and torso length. Of more than 4,000 pilots, not one fit in the average range for every measurement. The Air Force concluded that their planes needed adjustable seats in the cockpit because of the variability of their pilots.

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.
