The Learning Reflection Report is a critical review of your learning experience. You are to explore the what, the why, and the how you have learned by looking back on the course objectives and your personal journey. Take the time to highlight moments of significant growth, challenge, and change with evidence from your personal contributions (substantive posts, discussion comments, challenge process and artifacts, peer review). The goal is to articulate not just what you learned, but how your perspective has shifted over the course of the semester. (~750 words).

Consider answering the following questions:

  • Revisit the Plan: What have you discovered or learned in this course? Did you meet the course objectives?
    • By the end of this course you will be able to:
      • Contextualize how learning inform interactive and multimedia experiences
      • Apply multimedia design principles in planning your educational resources
      • Engage in design thinking to create multimedia learning projects
      • Apply storytelling principles in creating effective learning opportunities
      • Describe and apply principles of effective interactive multimedia design
      • Generate a variety of prototype artifacts including: comics, videos, and web pages
      • Use GenAI appropriately as a tool to support creative activities
  • Identify the Turbulence: What was the most challenging concept to master, and how did you overcome it?
  • Evidence of Growth: How has your perspective shifted over the course of the semester? Do your course contributions reflect this growth? How?
  • Next Destination: What potential do you see for multimedia in education? How can you imagine using the skills from this course in the future?

0 – 2 (Needs Additional Work)3 (Marginally Meets Expectations)4 (Fully Meets Expectations)5 (Exceeds Expectations)
Reflection on the Course Objectives

(Metacognition)		Fails to reference the course objectives or specific personal goals. Reflection is superficial or missing.Mentions the initial course objectives but provides little analysis. Discussion is descriptive (what happened) rather than reflective (why it happened).Clearly compares the course objectives with the final results. Identifies where they succeeded and where they struggled.Nuanced and honest comparison of the course objectives vs. actual outcomes. Analyzes why goals changed or how unexpected challenges were navigated.
Evidence of Learning & Theoretical Application

(Course Content)		Relies entirely on personal opinion or anecdote. Fails to cite course theories, concepts, or readings.Mentions course theories or concepts but explanation is surface-level, vague, or contains minor inaccuracies. Connection to artifacts is weak.Accurately cites and explains relevant course theories/concepts. Connects specific theories to specific assignments (artifacts) to demonstrate understanding.Synthesizes course theories to explain personal growth. Accurately applies specific terminology and concepts to analyze their own work. Demonstrates a deep, nuanced grasp of the material.
Future Application

(Transfer)		No discussion of how the learning applies to future contexts.Vague or generic statements about future use (e.g., “This will be useful in my career”) without explanation.Identifies clear ways the course skills will be useful in the future. The application is logical and relevant.Articulates a concrete, actionable plan for applying these skills in specific future contexts (professional or academic). Shows foresight and strategic thinking.
