• Peer Instruction

    Peer instruction problems give learners more interactive engagement while they complete a multiple choice question that may or may not have a correct answer. The tool supports deeper consideration of the learner’s understanding of a concept and the correctness (if applicable) of an initial answer. Learners complete these problems in three steps.

    First, the learner answers a multiple choice question and provides an explanation for the answer. Next, the learner sees answers and explanations submitted by other learners. After reflecting on these peer responses, the learner can make revisions and submit a final answer and explanation. Finally, the learner sees the correct answer, if supplied, and any explanation that you provided for it.
