Workshop on individual reflection spaces

March 6, 2024 @ 12:00 pm BST

Why should you reflect?

Reflection is a process of exploring and examining ourselves, our perspectives in relation to others, based on your experiences and expectations, in our interaction with resources, interactions with colleagues, and in participating in the webinars and activities organized.

Writing is a form of thinking and can help you in applying what you have learned in your context and to align back to your learning goals. By reflecting you will learn and develop your metacognitive skills.

Keep a learning diary

To collect your thoughts along the way, to save a memory of your learning points, ideas, challenges you face, and what you enjoy you can keep a learning diary. This is similar to a pedagogical portfolio and an essential part of the open online course Open Networked Learning (ONL).

Workshop part of ONL

This workshop is part of ONL and will be a hands-on session about creating and working with your individual reflection space. You will be invited to engage in hands-on activities that cover the essentials of WordPress and similar platforms, including:

Understanding the (WordPress) Interface: Navigating the distinction between the frontend (what your readers see) and the backend (your control panel for creating content).
Privacy and Accessibility: Configuring different access and privacy levels to safeguard your reflective space while engaging with a broader audience.
RSS Feeds Basics: Exploring the fundamentals of RSS feeds and how they can enhance your portfolio’s reach and interactivity.
The art and science of reflecting: A short reminder about the process of self-examination and comparing viewpoints through engagement with materials, group interactions, and participation in activities.
