Anchored Instruction Cognition and Technology Group at Vanderbilt
Anchored Instruction centers learning around an "anchor," typically a story or case study, that allows learners to explore concepts and solve problems in context.
This model starts by identifying desired learning outcomes first (what learners should know and be able to do) and then working backward to design assessments and learning activities that meet those outcomes.
