Know Wonder Learn XBlock

Overview

Structure learner reflection at both the beginning and end of a course by prompting them to articulate what they already know, what they are curious to learn, and, after completing the course, what they actually learned. This before-and-after format, commonly used in K-W-L instructional frameworks, helps learners activate prior knowledge, set personal learning goals, and consolidate new understanding. The Know Wonder Learn XBlock is particularly effective in courses where metacognition and self-directed learning are explicit instructional goals.
