Thoughts for Nudging Strategies for Connecting
Move from individual to
collective knowledge building
Move from solo to collaborative
knowledge building
How might we use technology to
engage student learning?
What types of resources might we include for building prior knowledge?

Authenticity/ Digital Rigor
Creativity
“Looking at this across the disciplines you start to see how important the knowledge-creation activity plays into the sense of identity.
