Activate critical thinking & learning
How often have you tried to explain critical thinking to students who struggle to put it into practice?
Ketso Connect is a powerful aid for students to develop and structure their ideas. It is a tactile, hands-on learning aid that guides students in developing well-structured assignments. This compact, personal pack inspires critical thinking, boosts confidence and raises ability. It is also great for project planning and organising.
Ketso Connect is easy to use in a range of settings: lecture halls, workshops, hybrid and remote learning, self-directed study and group work, and is priced to be affordable for whole cohorts of students. With space for your University’s logo, Ketso Connect helps to build a sense of belonging to a learning community. It has proven especially useful for neuro-divergent students, and those with English as an additional language.
Won international teaching innovation award
Thousands of students have benefited from this hands-on learning aid, which won the 2021 Association of European Schools of Planning Teaching Innovation Award. In an anonymous survey of 235 students from the Universities of Manchester, Central Lancashire, Salford, Anglia Ruskin and Manchester Metropolitan University, 85% of the students found Ketso Connect useful in helping them to structure their thinking and learning.
For most of the students surveyed, Ketso Connect offers a tangible way to grasp and manoeuvre concepts to make their essay writing clear and structured, giving them the direction they need to attain good grades. Comments included: “Prior to using the Ketso kit, my ideas would not flow clearly”, “It is a very simple concept that can be used to un-complicate an idea,” and “I didn’t realise how useful visual learning was.”
