Interactive, browser-based tools that guide students to plan, prepare, reflect, and set goals with intention — building the metacognitive habits that drive real academic success.
Designed for self-directed use. Enhanced with facilitation. Ready for your LMS.
The Metacognitive Moves System™ gives students a structured way to think about their thinking — across the full arc of academic life. Each tool targets a different moment where metacognitive skill-building has the most impact.
Wondering where each tool fits in your programs? The Student Journey Matrix maps every tool across six stages of the academic experience — from entry and transition through institutional outcomes. A practical planning resource for implementation teams, advisors, and student success leaders.
