Why this learning journey?

Learning journeys are multi-step course templates based on active learning for different target learning outcomes. This journey will help you with:

Stimulate multiple feedback opportunities

This journey allows for incorporating feedback at different layers (self, peer and group) that initiate meaningful interactions, engagement, and critical thinking. Instructors also save plenty of time in activity set-up and feedback distribution.

Train problem-solving

Receiving continuous feedback and having to decide on which comments to act on allows students to develop critical analysis and problem-solving skills.

Enhance critical writing skills

Instant, personalized, and multi-layer feedback throughout the writing process allows students to identify their strength and weaknesses, at the same time learn from their peers.

Journey steps

STEP 1

Preparation for writing

Instructors upload multimedia study materials to Interactive Study Materials tool then annotate these with question and discussion prompts. By engaging with the prompts, students gain deep understanding of the topic and better prepared to start writing. To save time, instructors can use the Engagement Assistant feature in Interactive Document (powered by AI) to create context-based open questions and discussion prompts.

Self-reflection

Students reflect on the entire writing process, what feedback was useful to them and which feedback they decided not to implement and why. This can help with their self-regulatory learning, and reflect on how they took action, what they want to improve and how. This step can be added easily using the Self Assessment tool.
