Module 1

This module has made me think about my role as an instructional designer in the following ways...

While reflection is not always the easiest task to engage in, I have realized how important reflection is in the role of designing instruction and learning from instruction. As a designer or a learner, we must take time to reflect on our experiences. We must examine the reasons why something was or was not successful. If we engage in reflection, we have the ability to alter our future behaviors to better benefit all involved.

Reflection is a wonderful tool to help one take charge of their own learning, a 21'st century learning characteristic. It enables you to see what you know and what you need to learn more about. I equate it to looking in a mirror. Reflection enables you to see what is really there and what needs a little work.
