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:

Promote self-regulation and autonomy

By taking ownership of their learning, students are empowered to develop a sense of autonomy and responsibility, as well as the skills of reflective practice and self-monitoring, which are essential competencies for future professional life.

Increase student engagement and motivation

As learners actively reflect on their work, they gain a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses and identify areas for improvement. This leads to students feeling more motivated and engaged in the learning process.

Relieve assessment loads

By letting the learners take charge of their own learning, instructors can be relieved of heavy assessment loads. The use of assessment tools also helps automate many manual tasks (e.g. rubric design, peer allocation, grading, etc.), which allow instructors to focus on supporting students.

STEP 1

Step 1: Provide detailed instructions on assignments for students

Instructors set up detailed instructions in the Peer Review tool, detailing the requirements for the assignment and important deadlines. Written documents, video, or audio files can be added to the instructions to provide more explanations. Students read the instructions and discuss their questions with instructors during an in-class session.

Step 2: Students work on the first draft

Students work on the first draft of the assignment (e.g. research paper, essay, report, etc.) based on the given instructions and using a highly detailed grading rubric, where each assessment criterion is broken down into multiple levels of mastery, each with a clear, pre-defined description provided by the instructor.
