How to use the verb Compare in a course or learning design

To incorporate the 'Compare' verb in your next learning design, guide the learner through a clear process by using the question stem "What's the difference between." First, select two or more concepts, theories, or objects that you want the learner to compare and contrast. Present these items side by side, highlighting their unique characteristics or features. Next, encourage the learner to actively engage in comparing these elements by identifying similarities and differences between them. This can be done through activities like creating Venn diagrams, completing comparison charts, or writing comparative essays. Finally, prompt the learner to reflect on the significance of these distinctions and how they impact understanding or application. By structuring the content around comparisons, you help the learner deepen their knowledge and critical thinking skills. When creating your learning materials, be sure to include visuals, examples, or real-world scenarios to enhance the comparison process and facilitate a deeper understanding.
