For Faculty
Use our free online tools, teaching strategies, and classroom exercises to improve student engagement, foster belonging, and facilitate academic discussions about challenging topics.

Free Online Tools
Our primary offering is a free online program called Perspectives. This supplemental resource allows learners to explore the inner workings of the mind and the psychological roots of our ideological differences.
The program provides students with insights to better understand themselves and others and equips them with skills to engage in constructive dialogue across differences.
Students who complete the Perspectives program:
- Become better able to recognize the limits of their knowledge
- Improve at critical thinking
- Become better at conflict resolution
- Increase in warmth towards others who hold different viewpoints
Flexible & Customizable
Customize the Perspectives program’s settings to meet the needs of your course.
You can use the full program, or you can “build your own” experience by selecting which lessons you’d like your students to complete. You can also decide whether to include peer-to-peer conversations, and you can set your students' learning schedule.
Research-based & Adaptive Lessons
Our research-based lessons weave together psychological concepts with interactive practice scenarios. Each lesson is adaptive, tailoring itself to meet learners where they are.
Lessons take approx. 30 minutes to complete and can be assigned as homework. Our instructor guide provides tips on how to easily implement lessons into your course. Each lesson includes graded quiz questions to test comprehension.
In this lesson, students:
Experientially learn about the two systems in our mind: automatic and controlled thinking.
Discover common cognitive biases that affect our reasoning, and how this leads people to interpret the same information differently.
Gain a practical technique to challenge their cognitive biases and gain more control over their thinking.
4 Peer-to-Peer Conversation Guides
Our optional peer-to-peer conversation guides provide students with the opportunity to practice their skills with a partner. These 45-minute conversations provide accountability, build social connection, and offer students a chance to apply their skills in a live setting. Guides and exercises are included within the program.
Data-Driven Outcomes
The program brings rigorous psychology research to life in an engaging, practical, and accessible format. Assessments are embedded within the program to track outcomes. You can view your students' progress and quiz scores from the Instructor Dashboard.
