Online Journal - Learning Reflections Online

Abstract

The author highlights the usefulness of learning journals, which are particularly widespread in Anglo-Saxon countries. Learners reflect on their progress on a meta-level, which is particularly useful in network-based learning, where there is little feedback from the teacher. Since keeping a learning diary is time-consuming, it is important to consider where this makes sense. The author suggests implementing journals in online forums in such a way that they can only be viewed by the respective user and the teacher. As an example, he describes the structure of a journal in which answers to given questions are entered.
