Let's go beyond multiple-choice questions and right-vs-wrong feedback! How might we make great open-ended writing/drawing activities online? @nsbarr @farrarscott @johnisrude @mayli & I've been exploring that for 18mo; thrilled to share our findings:https://early.khanacademy.org/open-ended/

Are these tools solely written by KA, or are there some that can be modified?

We co-created them with pilot teachers during our trials. We’re not yet sure how customizable the content would be in a shipping product! What are your thoughts?

Just trying to see the similarities/differences between this and Desmos Activity Builder, Google Classroom, Moodle, etc. I'm a math teacher, BTW.

Gotcha. We're definitely influenced by all those; like Desmos, we want to facilitate social learning; these activities would be assignable in Classroom/Moodle. With Desmos, social exchange is usually whole-class, teacher-directed; with our tool, it's online, teacher-supported.

To be clear, whole-class, teacher-directed discussion is incredible when done well! It's about yes-and: online social exchange like in our tool can offer more thinking time, every voice to be reliably heard, asynchronous scheduling, and a bit less strain on the teacher.
