How to use the verb Explain in a course or learning design

To utilize the 'Explain' verb in your learning design, start by breaking down complex concepts into smaller parts for the learner to understand. Next, encourage the educator to provide clear explanations using visual aids, real-life examples, or analogies to make the content more relatable. Prompt the learner to ask questions and engage in discussions to solidify their understanding further. Finally, incorporate activities where the learner needs to explain a concept to someone else, promoting a deeper level of comprehension. An actionable way to integrate 'Explain' is by incorporating the question stem, "find someone with a different answer to yours and explain your thinking." This can be done through group discussions, peer reviews, or debate-style activities where learners need to articulate their thought process to defend their perspective. Encouraging learners in this manner promotes critical thinking skills and enhances their ability to communicate ideas effectively. Incorporating 'Explain' in learning designs helps learners build a strong foundation of knowledge and develop essential communication skills. Integrate this verb strategically to enhance learner engagement and understanding. #ExplainVerb #BloomsTaxonomy #LearningDesign #ExplainYourThinking
