PROS: A self-guided process for assignment completion and meaningful learning

Abstract In this chapter, a framework is provided to guide students in developing a consistent approach to completing assignments. Not only does the framework provide a study structure, but it also suggests technologies to support students as they manage, monitor, and adapt their learning strategies. The framework is applicable across the curriculum and enables students to approach coursework with an organized plan and reflection. While the aim is to support self-directed and autodidactic learners, we recognize that instructors still play a powerful role in guiding learning. We suggest that instructors introduce the framework and provide feedback, if needed, but the intention is for this to be a tool in a self-directed learner’s toolbox.
