Practice Opportunities
What are practice opportunities?
Practice opportunities are activities and exercises in which students can apply their learning. Through practice opportunities, students reinforce their knowledge, develop skills, and gain confidence before assessments.
What are some examples of practice opportunities?
Examples of practice opportunities include:
- Case studies or in-depth analyses of real or hypothetical situations
- Interactive workshops with hands-on learning opportunities
- Low-stakes online quizzes that provide immediate feedback
- Online discussion boards for students to reflect on course materials and engage with classmates
- Peer review opportunities for students to evaluate each other’s work, provide feedback, and reflect on their learning
How can instructors effectively implement practice opportunities in their classrooms?
Instructors incorporate practice opportunities in their courses by:
- Designing activities that align with course objectives and goals
- Encouraging a growth mindset by promoting mistakes as learning opportunities
- Offering constructive feedback
- Providing clear instructions so students understand the purpose and goal of an assignment
- Using different multimedia and dual coding to support diverse learning styles
