We are delighted to have two of our CTE co-op students, Charley Potter and Eleanor Walby, join us on Thursday November 7th to share their experience completing their reflective journals assisted by RIFF,  a GenAI tool developed a team at Stanford University’s d.school.  Charley and Eleanor will be joined by Leticia Britos Cavagnaro (RIFF founder) to demonstrate RIFF and explain how it supports reflection. 

Each term, CTE co-op students use a PebblePad workbook and ePortfolio to reflect on their learning and track and showcase their growth and development during their co-op term.  Beginning in Spring 2024, the co-op students have been testing the use of RIFF.  RIFF is designed to help deepen the quality and depth of reflections. “While chatbots powered by generative AI are typically designed to answer questions and perform tasks, Riff focuses on asking learners thought-provoking questions to deepen their reflection process”.

In this workshop, we will look at The Student Led Individually Created Course (SLICC) reflective experiential learning framework, a framework that is inherently flexible, and promotes student ownership and autonomy through co-creation of their learning experience. The SLICC framework can be integrated into courses at different levels, varying class sizes, and is well suited to capstone and field courses, research and project-based courses, work placements, volunteer, and community service-learning opportunities.
