In a recent interview, a Higher Ed Professor shared insights into a groundbreaking learning experience created in Lucidspark. A 75-minute in-class experience that became the students' favorite, marking a unique milestone in their educational journey.  The professor dshared with us the aspects that made this class extraordinary, pinpointing a few crucial elements:

Creating an inclusive, engaging learning experience

By incorporating a Lucidspark discussion board, all students are given the opportunity to actively contribute in a way that works best for them. Whether slow thinkers, fast talkers, or contemplators, every student found a comfortable way to participate.  Additionally, the ability to manipulate visuals, move objects, and create Post-its elevated engagement, made the learning a more hands-on experience.

Real-time visualization: Fostering peer Interaction

Lucidspark's collaborative platform enabled real-time visualization of ideas. Students could see each other's thoughts and add onto their thinking using emojis and comments, fostering a metacognitive environment where ideas are built upon one another, a phenomenon often missed in traditional lecture settings.

The professor emphasized the profound impact of Lucidspark on metacognition, allowing students to witness and engage with each other's thoughts in real-time. This level of interaction and visualization is unparalleled in conventional lecture hall settings.
