Leticia Britos Cavagnaro: Make learning visible
Description
Dr Leticia Britos Cavagnaro is the co-Founder and co-Director of the University Innovation Fellows, a programme of the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school) at Stanford University. Leticia uses emerging technologies to empower learners to be self-directed, action-oriented, and reflective shapers of the future.
In this episode, she shares her view on why reflection is important, how to scaffold its practice for learners, and how to incorporate it into every learning experience. She talks about her upcoming book 'Experiments in reflection', published by Penguin Random House, and her recently published Riff chatbot.
