Learning Journals in E-Learning #344: Challenge | Recap
\n
Encourage Learners to Reflect on What They Just Learned
\n
Keeping learners focused and engaged can be a real challenge.
\n
For many learners, the e-learning course is just another workplace hurdle they need to overcome before they can focus on their “real work.”
\n
What are some ways course designers can keep learners focused and engaged without overcomplicating the development process?
\n
One way to engage your learners is by inviting them to reflect on what they just learned. Rather than building custom practice activities for every module, try asking your learners an open-ended question that connects the content to real-world activities.
\n
Example of Learning Journals in E-Learning
\n
Here's a learning journal from Tracy Carroll. The journal is available throughout the course and features text entry fields to capture learners' thoughts for each section. There's even a print option that lets learners print their responses.

This is fabulous, Jodie! I love the scenario visuals and then the need to document what I saw with the comparison of what actually happened in the end.
