Clear directions are one of the simplest ways to support student success, but writing them well takes time, intention, and a strong sense of where students may get stuck. In this session, we will introduce a Goblin.Tools, a simple FREE AI-powered tool that can help instructors turn assignments, activities, and expectations into clearer, more manageable directions.
We will also explore how students can use the tool to break large or confusing tasks into smaller steps, making it especially useful for learners who struggle with executive functioning, time management, or task initiation. Participants will see practical examples of how Goblin.Tools can be used to revise assignment instructions, scaffold student work, and reduce overwhelm without lowering academic expectations. The session will focus on hands-on, realistic classroom uses and will invite participants to consider where this tool might support clarity, accessibility, and student persistence in their own courses.
