—LEARNING PROCESS REFLECTION RESOURCES— You should not feel compelled to use the learning process templates; rather, you should structure your reflections to suit you. You are welcome to use different ways of structuring your self-reflections for example by telling stories (we love to see creative solutions!). Just be certain you are covering the kinds of issues that these frameworks address, and you are thinking about your learning critically. Reflection is a crucial part of learning any complex skill so the hope is that the practice you get here will serve you well in future. |

—RUBRICS— A sample rubric has been developed that you can use or alter, but you can also develop your own assessment guidelines. Here are some resources that you might find helpful in developing your assessment guide. Tailor the assessment guide to the learning activities you hope to undertake and don’t make your assessment guide too complicated. |
