Without reflection, learning ends well short of the re-organization of thinking that deep learning requires (Ewell,1997)." (INTIME, 2001). "Answering study questions only require low-level recognition." (Goodwin, 2014). The purpose of EMBRACING STRATEGIES is to allow time for thinking and reflection. The end-result are learning products that consolidate knowledge and create long-lasting connections that can be easily recalled in the future.  

Learning products can vastly enhance and increase knowledge, understanding and long-lasting connections. “Too often, information deemed important is taught just once and the students are expected to remember for a lifetime. We cannot recall later what we have not stored” (Sousa, 2011).

EMBRACING Content 

The EMBRACING content inserted with the LC tool may be just in the form of resources to explore and create learning products. 

Learning products are evidence of knowledge gained to ensure consolidation, retention and long-term retrieval.

The tool does the work!
