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 deeper understanding

Students are motivated to engage with the study materials before class, then consolidate their knowledge via individual/ team quiz and the application group project.

Accommodate all course modalities and cohorts

Whether it is online, blended, or in-person, you can always adapt this journey to your learning goals and course domains. Moreover, the use of technology allows for scaling to different class sizes: small, medium, and big student cohorts.

Nurture real life skills

The use of different activities: low-stakes assessment, group discussion, group assessment, and teacher feedback allow students to develop a set of essential skills like feedback delivery, team work, critical thinking, and more.

STEP 1

Boost engagement for high knowledge uptake before class

With Interactive Study Materials tools, instructors create engaging preparation activities by uploading multimedia content and enriching them with questions and discussions. Students actively engage in studying the materials by responding to questions, asking questions, and discussing with others. To save time in creating prompts, instructors can use the Engagement Assistant feature (powered by AI) to help generate context-based open questions and discussions.
