How PsycLearn enhances teaching:

PsycLearn design principles

PsycLearn was developed in a three-step process: defining measurable learning objectives, using Bloom’s Taxonomy to identify how content mastery will be assessed, and finally designing content to address both. These key principles inform every PsycLearn course:

What instructors are saying

“I can see exactly where students are struggling. If a lot of students are having problems with a particular mastery question, I can provide more explanation either in class or in the online discussion board. PsycLearn matches who I am as an instructor—the story format, the repetition, the interactive activities—that’s what I do. It mirrors me but it also lets me be the person who can enhance things.”

Instructor at Bellevue University

“With just-in-time feedback, students realize right away when they need clarification. They can review support material and adjust their estimates of their understanding. PsycLearn’s feedback for students and the ability to assign a due date led to better prepared students and a different course environment where we’re able to discuss the material rather than having to introduce it cold each time.”
