| Description: | Student learning is more impactful when meaningful reflection is integrated into course design (e.g., Lee and Sabatino, 1998). Providing students with the opportunity to think about their learning experiences and articulate connections to their personal, professional and academic goals can help them better prepare for career success and lifelong learning (e.g., Rolfe, Jasper and Freshwater, 2020). Widely recognized as an evidence-based best-practice for experiential-learning (Kolb, 2015), critical reflection generates, deepens, and documents learning (Ash and Clayton, 2009). Reflective journaling provides a valuable outlet for students to “think about various concepts, events, or interactions over a period of time for the purposes of gaining insights into self-awareness and learning” (Thorpe 2004, p. 328). In light of this, the authors united a research-based model of critical reflection with a student-friendly blog tool already built into their university’s learning management system (LMS) to create a ready platform for deeper learning in online courses. |
