Starting a course with a reflection piece
Dec 08, 2023
Hi everyone, a lot of our eLearning courses in Rise start with a checkbox list of reflective questions for the learner to read and select each tickbox as they think it through.
A basic example off the top of my head is:
Think about how you would feel if (tick each box as your read it):
-
- Someone spoke to you rudely
- Someone was too busy to talk to you when you were upset
It's not my favourite way to start a course and engage with a learner as it doesn't seem super engaging, but sometimes my SMEs are adamant about using it. I'm at a bit of a loss of how to improve this.
Does anyone have an example they'd be happy to share with me of how they have a reflective piece/block in their content that is not just a checkbox/list?
Thanks in advance!

I'd consider using a Storyline block where they can type in their reflection. Depending on the type of question, you could do something like this.
Course Title: How to Deal with Obnoxious Customers
Before we get started, think about a time you had to deal with a bad customer. If you could go back in time, what's one thing you'd tell your younger self?
[add reflection in text box]
Next slide, display what they typed and show what an expert may say:
You said, ....
It's really important to...(expert thought) when dealing with customers. That's why in this course we're going to explore these three things.
Here's a simple mock up.
