Steve MacNeil from Laurier's Chemistry and Biochemistry department discusses his journey from a blended and flipped classroom into scaffolding a metacognition co-curriculum throughout his courses to help students reflect not only on what they know, but on how they learn. Steve talks about how techniques like collaborative testing and IF-AT cards have deepened students' learning in his courses, why it's necessary to scaffold students through new pedagogies, how instructors can start building metacognitive components into their courses, and how a metacognition co-curriculum can help instructors navigate academic integrity alongside generative AI tools.
