Honor Learn lets you engage directly with course content, your fellow learners, and your instructor. Reactions and Conversations bring collective engagement to the process of working through course content.
Reactions
Reactions are how you record your impressions of a piece of material. There are four Reactions: Important, Interesting, Unclear, and Debatable.
How is the material making you feel? What would you like to remember for later? What would you like clarified? What do you disagree with?
Use Reactions to annotate your course material with intention.
To leave a Reaction, click the Reaction Button and choose your Reaction Type.
When working with a text, highlight the passage you’re interested in, then choose your Reaction Type.
Once you’ve left your Reaction, you can Start a Conversation.
Or, you can Leave a Note for yourself.
You can always go back and edit or delete your Reaction.
Any time you leave a Reaction, it is visible to your peers and to your instructor. All Reactions in the same location are grouped into an Energy Bar, which shows, in aggregate, how your peers are feeling about that material. For example, this Energy Bar shows that most of your peers used the Interesting (green) and Unclear (red) reactions:
Tap or click an energy bar to see the range of Reactions on a piece of material, and any Conversations your peers have started about it.
Reactions are saved to your Notebook. Open your Course Notebook to see all of your Reactions in the same place. From here, you can edit or delete reactions, or you can follow a Reaction back to the material you left it on.
Conversations
When you React to course material, you’ll notice the option to Start a Conversation. This is your opportunity to post your thoughts, comments, or questions about the material. A Conversation is visible to your peers and your instructor.
Once you’ve started writing, Honor Learn will generate a couple optional tags that you can attach to your Conversation, based on your intention. You can ask your peers for replies that Share new information, Offer a different perspective, or Help you understand.
In addition to posting your own Conversation starter, you can read through and contribute to any Conversations that are already there. Tap or click an Energy Bar to see the Conversations on that section of material. Then open up a Conversation to make your contribution.
Your Instructor may also check up on the Conversations in your course, and provide their own input. Instructor responses are indicated by a Black Box.
You can always go back and Edit or Delete a Conversation you’ve started, or add it to your Notebook.
Or, if you feel someone’s response is inappropriate, you have the option to Report a Comment. This flags the comment for instructor review.
