Reflecting on learning
Securing results is an important step in bringing learning phases to a successful conclusion. Securing results makes requirements transparent and bundles relevant information. Learners can also use this phase to compare their own understanding with the results of the work phase. Usually, the content of the consolidation is what learners use for reference, i.e., it is not just the learners' notes but, ideally, information/materials provided or at least checked by the teacher.
Provide (or have provided) learning module pages on the results
Learning modules are ideal for securing results, as all file formats can be compiled in a multimedia and interactive manner in an environment structured by chapters and pages. A wide variety of presentation formats are possible in the learning module. Teachers can bundle the results of learning phases here, for example as a collection of the most important aspects of a topic in a seminar session or as handouts or presentation slides from lectures. In contrast to a simple download, the content can be enriched with references to suitable in-depth material and self-assessment questions in a clear structure. Such pages can also be created by students, but if they are used as a backup tool, they should be checked by the teacher before being made available.
Ensuring the development of term meanings
The glossary can be used to provide definitions of terms. The glossary can also be used as a review tool at the end of a learning unit on a specific term or concept. Since the glossary allows multiple definitions per term, it can also be used to compare or list several definitions. Since it is filled by the page editor, it can also be filled live during a joint session.
Secure references with the Wiki
The wiki is well suited for documentation, but should only be used as a backup tool in a static state. Since the wiki is actually intended as a dynamic tool for the cooperative documentation of knowledge, it should only be used for backup purposes if the content does not change or cannot be changed without being checked by the teacher. However, the wiki is ideal for discussing the connections between content visualized in the wiki through hyperlinks and then securing the results of this discussion by creating these links.
Provide the results of a learning phase as a handout or protocol.
A simple method of saving results is to make them available as a file download. Such a file can be a handout or protocol created or checked by the teacher, but also a photo of the blackboard or a printout of the overhead transparency or the most important presentation slides.
Depending on the subject, the backup can also be in a file format that requires the installation of special software, for example. In such cases, the learning platform can also be used to provide this file.
