The professor assigns an activity of higher-order-thinking-skills, picks and edits a rubric and schedule
Students Create and submit their materials
Students Analyze and Evaluate peers, grade and provide feedback on creation. They will then give feedback on the feedback they received
Gamification and insightful data help students develop critical thinking and feedback delivery skills. The professor uses data to monitor, mediate disputes and mentor as needed
Kritik is emerging from a decade of research and experience working with the teaching faculties in dozens of Universities. We have seen when faculty step out from their authoritative teaching method and put their students at the centre of instruction, not only do they find time to focus more on giving personalized feedback to students who need it the most, they also enable students' higher-order thinking.
Create Questions
Students gain learning curiosity toward a particular topic by creating questions themselves
Write an Essay
Students develop their own arguments and apply their analytical skills
Teach a Concept to Classmates
Students enhance their comprehension and memorization of the course materials through teaching to peers
Present Creatively
Students create or adopt multimedia and visual learning modules for a given concept
Kritik is the first technology that focuses on developing students' analysis, evaluation and creation skills in a gamified and structured way
When students are at the center of the instruction, they are encouraged to learn more and in-depth by evaluating other peers' works
Analysis, evaluation, and creation are the most forgotten ones in student assessments
Through a gamified process, students find it fun and engaging to participate in higher-order thinking activities
