A course concept for enhancing reflective learning - bringing research project results into the field

After a successful evaluation at the IMC in the project MIRROR to enhance reflective learning by coaching and usage of two apps developed in the project, the instructional design was further developed. Below three phases are described that show the development from a research prototype to a commercial blended learning course. The first phase was a summative evaluation. Ten staff members took part in a time management coaching at our company IMC. In the second phase a time management open online-course was created. There the participants were offered to use two apps from the MIRROR project and tele-coaching for a fee. In the third phase a blended learning course was created and evaluated with three human resource managers. It included the two mentioned apps and individual coaching sessions and group sessions. The human resource managers were satisfied with the concept. The course was then included in the internal training catalogue and is currently running.
