Explain What You Just Learned in Your Own Words

After a meaningful chunk of digital learning, pause and explain the idea, relationship, or step in your own words, then compare with the source and correct gaps. Meta-analytic evidence supports self-explanation in digital learning, with meaningful variation across contexts and material types.

What the agent should do

Study a manageable chunk, then look away from the explanation and produce a brief self-explanation: what the idea means, why a step follows, how it connects to what you already know, or when it would apply. Compare your explanation with the source, identify one gap or error, and revise it. Use the prompts that fit the material; do not turn every paragraph into a compulsory monologue.

Check-in

Can I explain the idea accurately enough to reconstruct the key relationship or step, and what did I have to correct after checking the source?
