"To develop understanding of a topic or subject area, one has to experience and engage in Authentic Intellectual Activity. That means solving problems, making decisions, and developing new understanding using methods and tools (Ritchhart, Church & Morrison, 2011). Exploring a range of Thinking Pathways allows teachers and students to move beyond surface learning that focuses on the memorisation of knowledge and facts, to more deep and reflective learning that is focused on developing understanding through more active and constructive processes."

Decide whether sharing of thinking will happen in small groups or as a whole class. Document the main threads that permeate the discussion of the whole class, particularly noting the differences in viewpoints."

"The 3 Ds is not a new model for learning design, and it aligns with other inquiry-based learning models designed for deeper learning. However, each D is intentional in being simple, portable, and customizable. Each D could happen synchronously or asynchronously, in person or online.
