The platform enables a case study approach that simulates real-world problems and environments, thereby encouraging innovative curriculum for teachers and students alike.

ThinkSpace supports complex problems through processes, phases, and tools that, in combination, create an environment unlike traditional learning management systems. And since ThinkSpace is not restricted to a particular LMS, you can access and use it regardless of your institutions LMS.

Get the best out of ThinkSpace with access to discipline-specific approaches. Or, tap into other disciplines for ideas to innovate learning for your students.

The platform enables instructors to design assignments one meaningful chunk at a time. The foundational structure of ThinkSpace helps you help your students reach their learning goals.

Create, store, and retrieve electronic feedback in context with uploaded assignments and projects. The drag and drag Markup commenting application is one-of-a-kind, encouraging a dialog between instructors and students, students and instructors, and among project collaborators.

With the ThinkSpace rubric tool you can create categories, descriptions, and achievement levels that capture the learning outcomes important to you. Reviewers (supporting self, peer, and faculty review) can indicate achievement levels using a slider tool. The end product is a customized report for students that communicates outcomes in the form of written descriptions and a bar graph that showcases input from all reviewers.

The best solutions (and learning) are often incubated in diverse and collaborative environments where sharing information leads to breakthroughs. ThinkSpace makes it easy for instructors to share their spaces with colleagues. Once shared, the space can be customized to meet specific requirements.

“ ThinkSpace helps me create significant learning experiences for my students as they solve complex problems. Whether my instructional goal is to teach veterinary students how to make a diagnosis, or graduate students to create and peer-review teaching portfolios in the Preparing Future Faculty Program, ThinkSpace allows my students to interact, receive immediate feedback and succeed. The flexible interface of ThinkSpace gives me the creative freedom to support Team Based Learning effectively in my courses as well. If I can think of an instructional design, chances are, ThinkSpace will allow me to create it.”

“ ThinkSpace has transformed how I teach. I came to ThinkSpace for the rubrics. I’ve stayed because it has informed my teaching.The functionality of ThinkSpace is beyond any other tool I’ve found on the market because it supports an interactive process; offers efficient feedback methods; encourages my students to grapple with complex, ill-defined problems; and makes reflective teaching practices possible. ThinkSpace inspires me to be a better teacher.”

“ By using real-world scenarios, it allows students to work through electronic platforms and permits faculty to see how they [the students] arrive at their final solutions. The thing about an authentic learning environment like ThinkSpace is you have to think about all the things you need and don’t need while working through the problem.”
