Histology Personal Trainer: Identifying Tissue Types Using Critical Thinking and Metacognition Prompts

Metacognitive reflections embedded in course activities allow students to evaluate their learning immediately following the activities themselves, while providing instructors the opportunity to revise and optimize instruction to target misconceptions. This activity, “Histology Personal Trainer” help...
