Week 6 Lead Scotland's Thinking Digitally course: Reflection

Why Reflect?

This week we've been looking at ways of using digital tools to review our learning along the way ahead of the reflective account at the end of the course. Here are some of the links we've been looking at:

The University of Worcester's learning journals page offers helpful hints for keeping a reflective journal.

Business balls have gathered useful digests about the conscious competence learning model and other theorists such as Kolb's widely cited and debated 4 stage model of experiential learning.  Infed, a not for profit site of the YMCA George Williams College has gathered some critiques of Kolb's model.

What kind of learner are you?  The University of Leicester give an account of Honey and Mumford's learning styles suggesting that if you recognise your preferences you could play to your strengths. You could also seek to make changes.

We're gathering digital tools on our website encouraging recording, review and reflection which you can use to create practical task lists, to be actioned, and to reflect and make sense of what you have learned through your experiences.

Next week we'll be looking at web usability and accessibility.
