Abstract

The Board of Curiosity is an easy tool that allows students to ask anonymous questions and perform their own research. This tool was particularly effective in a group of adult learners, who commented that the board was a fun way to increase the breadth and depth of the course without derailing class time with tangents. Overall, this simple intervention helped foster a collaborative atmosphere of group accountability.
