The Design of Reflective Journals as Course Evaluation Instruments - an Information Systems Case Study
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines the use of a reflective journal system in an Information Systems course, focusing on the effectiveness of the journal for course evaluation. It explores the criteria used for designing the system, the reasons for designing the system, and presents some initial evaluations as to the effectiveness of the journal. Finally, it concludes by suggesting that the journal was effective, but further work would need to be completed in order for the reflective journal model to be useful in large classes in terms of course evaluation, and suggests some directions for further research.
