Reflective Writing
In addition to uploading various artifacts that reflect your coursework, your ePortfolio should include reflective writing. All artifacts uploaded should be accompanied by a reflection. This writing allows you to articulate what you have learned, what experiences are important to you, and how the skills you have learned can be applied to future practice.
Consider reaching out to the Online Writing Center if you have any questions or want to improve your reflective writing skills. Navigate to the Academic Supportmodule of the course to access this resource. The Online Writing Center’s site contains many resources to support learners in writing, including an online chat feature with a writing coach and the ability to schedule an appointment. There’s also information about upcoming workshops, properly citing sources, and support for English language learners.
As you write, it is important to consider the following questions:
- What background information is important to this artifact?
- What learning does this reflect?
- Why does this artifact matter?
- Why does this skill or experience matter?
- How does this artifact relate to your educational growth?
- How does this artifact relate to your future aspirations?
