The C.O.R.E Framework
E = Engaging
Meaning
Engagement involves capturing and maintaining the learners' interest and motivation throughout the learning process. It encompasses interactive elements, multimedia, and varied instructional strategies to create a dynamic and stimulating learning environment.
Implementation
- Interactive ContentUse quizzes, discussions, simulations, and hands-on activities to actively involve learners.
- Multimedia IntegrationIncorporate videos, animations, and infographics to make learning more visually appealing and memorable.
- Varied Instructional StrategiesEmploy a mix of teaching methods, such as lectures, group work, and self-paced learning, to cater to different learning styles.
- DEIB EngagementEnsure engagement strategies are inclusive and accessible to all learners, considering varied learning preferences and needs.
Example
Use gamification elements, such as leaderboards and badges, to create a sense of competition and accomplishment, encouraging continuous engagement with the material.
Engaging, with the evidence in mind
Encourage active creation and reflection, not just passive consumption.
- Desirable Difficulty. Conciseness and clarity remove unnecessary barriers, but desirable difficulties introduce purposeful barriers that strengthen mental pathways. By framing these challenges in an engaging and supportive environment, educators can help students persist through the discomfort that leads to genuine mastery.
- Generative Learning. Conciseness ensures learners are not overwhelmed, and relevance fuels their motivation. Within that streamlined framework, generative activities provide the engagement mechanism for students to construct meaning, solidifying both understanding and purpose.
