Reflection Block: Strategic Thinking and Retention
The Reflection Block is a professional visual interface for code that provides a dedicated space for learners to pause and process complex information. Instead of racing through content, this tool encourages metacognition by asking learners to synthesize what they have learned and record their own insights. It is a critical component for high-end instructional design where the goal is long-term retention rather than just immediate recognition.
