Course Curriculum ‘Wedging Techniques’
What is a ‘Wedging Technique’?
Throughout your course, students may become stuck and require additional reminders or ‘check-ins’ to keep them motivated, and encourage them to keep working towards your course outcome.
A wedging technique involves you preemptively placing pieces of content (examples included below) where you think students may encounter blockages, to act as a ‘wedge’ and prevent them from stalling or rolling backwards.
Ultimately, this technique centers around keeping your students motivated and progressing through your course and seeing results from their output.
You will get a greater understanding of the potential ‘stuck’ points throughout your course as it unfolds; you start to see where most students get stuck or require more hand-holding, guidance or a mindset pep-talk.
