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:

Save time facilitating holistic feedback

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