Illustrations that Might Help

I find it useful to draw pictures when I’m trying to wrap my head around new things. I started illustrating the basic structure of these courses with loops. I started off creating loops in Miro. I think it looks kind of like a lightbulb.

a series of lines looping upward through rectangles (labeled "student selects something new to read") and then four arrows pointing down from a rectangle labeled "student revisits selected texts for final project"
A student’s journey through the course

But then I wanted to show how lots of students looping in lots of different directions would have a shared experience in a course. For that, I played around in Illustrator and Canva to create this. The loops remind me of particle tracks through a bubble chamber.

Many journeys, one course
