Developing Future-Ready Thinkers in the Age of Instant Answers

How can educators help students think critically in an age where answers are instantly available?

‍

Join Dr. Alexis Thompson from the University at Buffalo’s Department of Psychology on Thursday, August 13th, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST for a practical workshop on using peer feedback, structured evaluation, and scalable assessment design to create more active and engaging learning experiences.

‍

Drawing from her classroom experience, Alexis will share how she uses the Kritik Toolkit to move students beyond passive participation and help them build stronger reasoning, communication, and evaluation skills. You’ll discover how structured peer assessment, rubric-based feedback, and Kritik’s Create, Evaluate, and Feedback workflow can help students learn from one another, improve the quality of their work, and develop future-ready thinking skills, while reducing your grading burden.

‍

Key Points:

• Building judgment and reasoning in the age of instant answers
• Helping students explain, evaluate, and defend their thinking
• Strengthening critical thinking through rubric-based peer assessment
• Supporting accountability through Kritik’s Create, Evaluate, and Feedback stages
• Making learning more active without increasing grading workload
