EDC 220--Learning
Log
Your Learning Log is a simple tally of the time you spent on the
activities in this course and a once weekly reflection on that work.
For example, if on June 1st you spend 50 minutes reading the first
three Internet Lessons, you would write in your log:
6-1-10: Read Internet Lessons 1-3 (50 minutes).
Continue this sort of tally for each and every time you work on anything for this course. Then, before the assigned due date, type a 4-5 sentence paragraph reflection on what you have learned by reflecting on your Learning Log. For example:
"As I look over my work during the past week, it is clear that I am under-estimating how long it takes me to read the lessons. I only received a 5 out of a possible 10 points on the quiz. That makes me think I may need to schedule more time in order to really understand the lessons and do better on the next quiz.
When I look at my work on my web site, I am pretty satisfied with my efforts. This week I put in about 5 hours on my web site and really accomplished a lot. It seems when I am working on something I really care about I can find the time to work harder."
Finally, you should add any questions
or suggestions you might have regarding the course. If you find dead
links, let me know. If you have any other questions or suggestions
that will help you learn, let me know! I can't improve the course
without your feedback.
How to Enter Your Learning Log on moodle:
In order to streamline the process of entering, cataloging, and
reviewing your logs, a forum has been set-up on moodle for you to enter
your Learning Logs. Go to the moodle for this course and look for
"Learning Log Forum." Click on that link. You may need to click
on the "Reply" link to enter your log.
Length is not the
goal of this activity. The goal is honest self-reflection on your
class participation. Please speak with the instructor if you have any
questions or need assistance.
It is also
very helpful if you label your entry with your name and log number
or date. When I get 25 generic "Learning Logs," it makes it very
difficult to distinguish one person's assignment from another. Thanks!
