Mahara: Introduction to your personal reflective space

Reflection is a very important component of VE projects and any other form of experiential learning. It is through reflection that participants see their experience in new light and develop a new perspective.

Reflection tasks will be strongly promoted throughout this course, too.

We have set up a private reflective space for you in this training platform, using a popular e-portfolio tool called Mahara.

We would like you to reflect every week on these experiences and keep a log or diary so that you can be mindful of the journey you are on.  Here’s an introduction which will help you try it out.

This tool is also a good way to create a personal webpage/s which you can share more widely to document your learning process.
