Metacognition


New college students need support developing this essential cognitive skill.

In the Codon platform, students must take a moment to reflect on whether they found the concept covered in each question "muddy" or "clear" before they can check their answer.

Students return to muddy questions later in the Study Path to clear them up.

Transparency through alignment

Many students struggle to interpret instructor expectations, manifesting in the question "Will this be on the exam?"

Practice in the Study Path is organized by topic and learning objective, not assignment, to emphasize connections between each assessment question and instructor-defined objectives.

Structure AND progress tracking

Students don't know where to start when they sit down to study. The Study Path adds structure to the post-class stage of the learning cycle, from homework to exam prep.

Students get repeated rounds of practice with new questions in each checkpoint. They visually track their progress as each topic moves through the Study Path.

Self-testing and immediate feedback


Students often default to passive learning techniques that worked for them in high school.

The Study Path promotes active learning outside of class through self-testing and immediate response-specific feedback.
