#3 - Speed Learning with Multimedia Text Sets (MMTS)

"MMTSs are just docs with links meant to build schema through exploration."

Multimedia text sets broaden a student’s repertoire of resources to draw information from.

#4 - Inquiry-Based Learning with Hyperdocs

"HyperDocs are transformative, interactive Google Docs that replace the standard worksheet method of delivering instruction" (The HyperDocs co-creators).

Hyperdocs can also serve as vehicles of inquiry-based learning.
