Online reflection journals: Learning through assessment
The study was conducted to investigate the extent to which students believe that journal writing contributes to improving their learning. The research was conducted at a post-secondary institution which organises its curriculum around principles of problem-based learning, and in which students have to reflect on their learning daily. The findings suggest that the use of online reflection journals provides many opportunities for students to reflect on their learning. Facilitators can also monitor students' progress through their reflections, and to provide specific, detailed feedback to aid students in their learning.
