Strategy Description
This TOPR strategy demonstrates that with the help of generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools (e.g., ChatGPT40; Claude3.5 Sonnet), online instructors can quickly develop interactive student feedback activities that foster critical thinking skills while building a community of learners (Fowlin, et al., 2025).
