What is a reflective journal?
A reflective journal - often called a learning journal - is a steadily growing document that you (the learner) write, to record the progress of your learning. You can keep a learning journal for any course that you undertake, or even for your daily work.
This page is mainly about reflective or learning journals for online courses, such as those run by Audience Dialogue. Students from other institutions (including the Open University) are also welcome to use these ideas, though the conditions for marking and submission may be different.
A reflective journal is not...
simply a summary of the course material. Focus more on your reactions to what you've read, and what you've been reading.
a learning log. On a learning log you might write down the times and days when you read something. A log is a record of events, but a journal is a record of your reflections and thoughts.
Who benefits from a reflective journal?
You, the learner. The fact that you are keeping a record of what you learn is an incentive to keep pushing ahead.
There's an old saying "you don't know what you know till you've written it down" - and several research studies have found this to be true. By telling yourself what you've learned, you can track the progress you've made. You also begin to notice the gaps in your knowledge and skills.
