Online reflective diaries - using technology to strengthen the learning experience

Butler, Eamonn; Tatner, Mary; Tierney, Anne

Abstract

Internet based technologies have benefits for students and staff in terms of time and information sharing. Students at the University of Glasgow were required to engage in reflective writing, with tutor support, as part of their course assessment. We examine the benefits of this approach in fostering a deep, holistic approach to learning, student contribution to course development through this reflection, and the issues in support of these activities.
