PURPOSE
For adults learning is a voluntary activity that can take place continuously as part of life experiences as
well as at formal learning events. Learning can be easier when it builds on the learners existing
experience and when the learning opportunity is seen as relevant to the immediate work needs or personal
development needs and aspirations.
Keeping a learning log encourages the learner to build in reflection time, so that new learning can be
recognised, weighed up and integrated into practice.
Successful learning is only achieved when the learner is able to apply new learning to everyday activities.
Key questions in reflecting on learning opportunities are: “What happened?” “Why did it happen?” and
“How can I use this learning in the future?”. Learning logs can help learners to answer these questions.
SUGGESTED USE
During the three parts of the EoT course - distance learning, workshop and project, you will encounter
frequent opportunities to learn. Keeping a learning log will help you to recall your thoughts, experiences,
reactions and ideas - which may lead to further development. You can also present this as evidence of
your learning experiences and include your learning log, along with your project report, for assessment.
Suggestions for possible inclusion in the log:
