Critical Thinking University™:
Become a Better Thinker in Just One Hour a Week

Imagine being able to learn – in just one hour a week – dynamic problem-solving skills that can be applied directly to actual workplace situations. It’s now possible, through Critical Thinking University™. This powerful online portal gives everyone from individual contributors to mid-career managers the ability to solve difficult on-the-job problems. That benefits the organization – and the bottom line.

Learner Progression

Critical Thinking University is far from a passive experience – participants advance through 18 interactive courses with real-world business scenarios that require them to:

• Recognize assumptions
• Distinguish fact from opinion
• Beware of persuasive techniques
• Recognize bias in themselves and others
• And develop as a thinker

As learners advance, their real-world skills are tested in a final challenge of 6 serious games! As participants track their progress through each level, they gain an increasing ability to think critically – and to use that skill in their day-to-day jobs. They become better thinkers in any situation that requires analysis and sound conclusions.

Classroom Feel

Critical Thinking University has the feel of a personalized classroom experience. Participants follow a self-paced lesson path with each critical thinking course building on the other. Participants also have the opportunity to assess their current skills through taking the Watson-Glaser II Critical Thinking Appraisal.  And they receive coaching—and engage with other participants—through unique social learning opportunities, including online forums, webinars, wikis, and other informal learning.

Time to Complete

Critical Thinking University can be accessed anywhere, anytime. And it can be incorporated into your existing training programs for a blended learning option. Each course takes approximately 1 hour to complete. However, actual time spent will vary based on the learner’s participation in social learning activities.
