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

To utilize the 'Contextualize' verb in your learning design, guide your learners to place new information within a specific context or scenario using the question stem 'Where would you place.' Encourage learners to apply their knowledge to real-world situations by asking questions such as "Where would you place this concept in a practical setting?" or "Where would you place this theory within a historical context?" By contextualizing information, learners can better understand how to connect the content to their existing knowledge and experiences. This helps them to see the relevance of what they are learning and how it can be applied in different contexts. Incorporating contextualization in your design can enhance comprehension and retention of information, promoting critical thinking and deeper understanding. Engage your learners by encouraging them to think about where and how they would apply the concepts presented to them, fostering a more holistic learning experience.
