Progressing through the course
As you progress through the course you’ll undertake reflection activities relevant to the course themes and learning outcomes.
You can complete these activities in a couple of ways: you can simply click on the activity material provided at each stage, or you can use your Reflection Log, a personal resource that allows you to collate in one document a record of your progress through the course as you undertake the various activities.
Reflection Log
Your Reflection Log can be downloaded and saved to your computer or to a portable storage device. It might be helpful to download and save a copy now [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] . That way you’re ready to start. You can open and add to it whenever you want but always remember to ‘save’ every time you use it. Alternatively, you can print out the log and write down your thoughts. Whichever way you choose, you will find it helpful to make notes as you work through the course.
Once you have completed the course, your Reflection Log will provide a useful reference and basis for creating your action plan in Session 5.
