Dennis T OConnor's insight:

Critical thinkiing is an essential 21st Century Skill.  E-Learning courses (expecially those with facilitated discussion) are great opportunities for practicing critical thinkiing.   Without Critical Thinking, a course can become so boring!

I like this poster. Learning psychology is about explaining or outlining a theory, followed by evidence in the form of research, ending with critical evaluative commentary. This will be helpful for students.

Thank you for sharing.

Diane Goodman's curator insight, May 20, 12:39 AM

A useful infographic that not only summarises the attributes of a critical thinker but more significantly, provides a 25 point list of actions teachers can invite students to do in learning activities, to stimulate and develop critical thinking abilities. A great poster for your office wall!

Telling a story with data: That's the art of infographics.

I have yet to make my first infograph, but am eager to get going.

I'm so in love with tools that help visualize what you do. This is a great list. I can't wait to try the ones I'm not familiar with.

Liked the list. My personal favorite is Piktochart.
