Why this 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 own 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 engagement and active learning

As learners actively reflect on their work, they gain a better understanding of their strengths and weakness and identify areas of improvement. This could a source of motivation for students to engage in the learning process.

Relieve of assessment loads

The instructors take on the role of facilitators and moderators of assessment in collaboration with students, which helps to form meaningful interactions and a supportive learning community. By letting the learners take charge of their own learning, instructors can be relieved of heavy assessment loads.

STEP 1

Step 1: Understand the self-assessment activity

With Interactive Study Materials tools, instructors upload the syllabus which contains the task requirements and self-assessment rubrics, then enrich it with questions and discussions for students to respond to. Students study the syllabus closely, respond to the questions, and highlight the sections that they are unclear about.

Step 2: Clarification session

Instructors organize a synchronous clarification session where they clarify the questions regarding the syllabus, and explain the rationale behind the assessment activities for the students. Both this and the previous step allow students to have a thorough understanding of the self-assessment activity and how to do it.

Step 6: Instructors’ feedback

Instructors provide feedback on students’ writing and their self-evaluation. Thanks to the Automated feedback stage, instructors can have more time to emphasize higher order aspects of students’ writing, such as reasoning or argumentation. At the same time, providing students with feedback on their reflection will help guide them in delivering quality self evaluation later on.
