Reflection
Reflection is a critical process which supports the creation of an e-portfolio. The process can lead to deeper learning through self-reflection and the outcomes inform planning, goal-setting (short and long term) and future reflection. Reflection develops a range of skills which underpin personalized learning including self-assessment and critical thinking. Reflection can also be a collaborative process. Tools supporting reflective practice include blogs and wikis which can be drawn together with other forms of evidence into an e-portfolio to provide a holistic picture of the individual learner. (JISC, 2009)
