Advanced REfLECTing - Sample Session Framework
| Time | Building Block | Overview | Tip Sheet / Resource | Scenario |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 00:10 | Introduction / ice breaker | Introduce and welcome to the session with a general discussion about the purpose of using REfLECT for recording CPD activities in different ways and how the value of using the advanced tools to share and display can add to the impact of the CPD. | ||
| 00:30 | Creating an Action Plan | The action plan tool can be used for either a simple scenario or to plan a whole years CPD activity. The steps to success within the record permits you to attribute deadlines to individual steps adding up to a completion date; whilst the SWOT and resource sections allow you to ascertain what support you will need to successfully reach your goal. | ||
| 00:20 | Sharing and Commenting | Peer collaboration is an important part of developing practise and establishing communities of practise. The sharing and commenting tools enable this collaboration to take place between both REfLECT colleagues and non REfLECT users as needed. | ||
| 00:20 | Blog | Blogs are a space to record thoughts and ideas as they arise and are useful for prompting further description and reflection when time permits. This building block shows how initial recordings can become more valuable with the addition of resources and links. | ||
| 00:30 | Webfolio | Using the Webfolio tool to present your activity or work, allows the recipient access to a multi faceted asset which could possibly contain links to other assets, websites, email addresses and information tips. The multimedia element within this tool also allows a visual way of supporting and illustrating activities. |
