To help educators in higher education structure a learning experience according to the ideas of a multilogue and to highlight the different didactical emphases, we propose a model of several archetypal so-called “building blocks”.
Multilogues in higher education combine elements from various forms of learning approaches, most notably project-based learning (PBL) challenge-based learning and service learning, all of which emphasise that participants actively acquire knowledge by working on (real-world) problems. Therefore, the structures of these learning formats offer a good starting point for a model for building blocks of multilogues in higher education.

Building blocks to create a multilogue-based learning experience:
Build the team and create cohesion
This block allows participants of the learning experience to get to know each other, understand each other’s backgrounds and overall, break he ice in order to ensure an open and trustful atmosphere
Research problem - challenge - question
At the heart of the learning experience and gather as much information and data on it as possible. This block is dedicated to understanding the problem or challenge.
Identify relevant perspectives
The more the participants learn about the problem or challenge, the more they should understand which perspectives they should integrate in the multilogue and what their roles and needs regarding the challenge might be.
Engage people and exchange perspectives
This block makes sure that there is an actual multi-perspective exchange. This building block includes actual exchange format where different participants exchange their perspectives.
Develop and test solutions or answers
At the heart of the learning experience and gather as much information and data on it as possible. This block is dedicated to understanding the problem or challenge.
Consolidate and distribute the results
Finally, participants would consolidate and distribute the results, i.e. the solutions ideas, research outcomes etc. generated in the learning experience. This can be in the form of a presentation, paper, video or a combination of media.
