Scenario 2A – Trigger event

The first step is to spark curiosity and stimulate reflection. The beginning of a module is the ideal moment to present real cases, open–ended problems, or provocative questions that activate students’ critical thinking.

1. Real case studies from the relevant professional/educational context
   Presenting authentic cases related to the learners’ professional context makes learning immediately meaningful. A Page can be used to present the case description, while an Assignment can require an initial individual analysis.
   Recommended tools: Page – Assignment.
   
   
2. Open problems related to teaching practice
   Complex problems without a single correct solution stimulate comparison and discussion. A dedicated Forum allows students to propose hypotheses and exchange alternatives, while Quizzes with open–ended questions or branching scenarios can simulate professional decision–making.
   Recommended tools: Forum – Quiz.
   
   
3. Provocative questions that stimulate reflection
   Challenging questions posted in a Forum invite students to step outside their comfort zone and justify their opinions. The teacher’s role is to intervene strategically with follow–up prompts and connections that deepen reflection.
