For students who learn best through reading, writing and processing concepts in writing.
They use notes, concept explanations and reflection texts as a way to structure and apply their knowledge – and they often communicate best in writing.
Key idea: Writing creates reflection and ownership
In synchronous teaching, writing provides an opportunity to connect knowledge with practice and train the ability to explain, analyze, and evaluate – key competencies in transfer.
Toolbox: Reading/writing-based modalities in synchronous transfer teaching
| Modality | What does it do? | Example from computer science education | IT-løsning / værktøj |
|---|---|---|---|
| Written exit tickets | Trains concise summarization and application of learning | “Write one thing you could use in your next project assignment” | Shared document, Padlet, Google Form |
| Concept maps with explanations | Provides overview and awareness of subject-specific terminology and relationships | “Explain ‘loosely coupled architecture’ in your own words” | Jamboard, shared Google Doc, Figma whiteboard |
| Group-based analysis exercises | Practices subject-specific written argumentation | “Compare two design patterns – which fits this case best?” | Online collaboration document, breakout rooms |
| Mini-essays with peer feedback | Creates opportunities for reflection and quality awareness | “How would you structure a database for this solution?” | Sharing and comment threads in Google Docs |
| Question-driven writing | Focuses reflection and develops disciplinary | “What would happen if a different architecture were chosen here?” | Group writing + oral feedback |
