What is Practice?
Designed to follow primary instruction, Practice delivers engaging learning experiences tailored to reinforce key concepts and target potential learning gaps. With Practice, course creators upload learning goals and audience details to generate short videos with key context, each followed by questions and AI-facilitated discussions that increase in rigor throughout the activity. These dynamic discussions provide learners with quick practice and in-the-moment feedback to reinforce key concepts from their learning. The Practice activity generates approximately 5-9 questions, which can be modified or deleted before being seamlessly integrated into an existing course through your LMS. Student-level completion data and misconceptions are collected and reported back to instructors for further insights.
What are the benefits of Practice?
Enhanced Learning Retention: Practice enables learners to reinforce and deepen their understanding of key concepts by engaging in real-world application rather than passive review or rote memorization and recall.
Targeted, Adaptive Feedback: AI-driven discussions provide students with immediate feedback, allowing them to correct misconceptions and refine their study strategies.
Alignment: Questions are designed to align closely with the lesson’s objectives to ensure cohesion with the primary instruction and course.
Supports Metacognition: Learners self-assess and adjust their study habits based on AI feedback, improving their ability to plan and monitor their learning progress.
Safe AI Integration: A structured, low-risk way to incorporate AI in existing courses, reducing learner reliance on external AI tools for unstructured support.
Seamless LMS Integration: Easily incorporated into existing courses, allowing instructors to position Practice anywhere within a module without disrupting the course structure.
Scalable & Time-Efficient: Automating practice content reduces instructor workload while maintaining pedagogical rigor.
How can I use Practice in my existing course?
Practice is designed to be used immediately following primary instruction, reinforcing key concepts before summative assessments. Some recommended use cases include:
Homework Assignments: Extend learning beyond the classroom with structured, interactive exercises.
Test Preparation: Provide learners with targeted practice ahead of assessments.
Lesson Review: Help students solidify knowledge through spaced repetition and active retrieval.
Flipped Classroom Approach: Allow students to engage in self-paced learning before in-class discussions.
Formative Assessment & Self-Checks: Use Practice as a low-stakes way to measure understanding before high-stakes testing.
Discussion Board Pre-Requisite: Encourage deeper engagement by requiring learners to complete Practice before participating in discussions.
By integrating Practice into your course, you provide students with quick reinforcement and an opportunity to bridge the gap between abstract concepts and real-world applications, ensuring a more effective and engaging learning experience.
