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

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