Why use RiPPLE?
Develop students’ critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication
RiPPLE engages students in a variety of learning activities such as creating and evaluating learning resources which help them develop critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication.
Enhance your students’ learning by providing personalised study pathways
