The document describes a six-phase learning cycle used to encourage students to think about how they learn as well as what and why they are learning. The six phases are: 1) prepare for learning, 2) agree learning outcomes, 3) present new information, 4) construct understanding, 5) apply knowledge, and 6) review progress. The goal is to help students get ready to learn, understand learning objectives, explore new concepts, make sense of information, use their knowledge, and check their understanding.
