Log Creation Due: 9/05

Late due: 9/06

The purpose of the learning log is to consistently reflect on your learning. You will submit to this log at least once a week, and you will use the data you generate in your Infographic final project. We recommend that you pick a particular kind of learning that you want to track. It could be a specific course, a specific thing within a course (e.g., writing exercises), a common task across multiple courses (e.g, homework), etc. The more care you take in picking what to track and the more consistently you fill out the form, the more informative your data will be.

Logistics and Grading

You can earn up to 2 engagement points per week as follows:

• 1 point – For the first entry for the week.
• 1 point – For the second entry for the week.
• The third entry and beyond do not earn more points, but you are welcome to log more to support your learning.

Each week starts on a Monday and ends on a Sunday. The week your entry belongs to is based on the timestamp associated with that entry. This timestamp is automatically generated when you fill out your form.

Steps to create the learning log

1. Open the Microsoft Form template [Update: since everyone has finished the creation of their own learning log form, this link is closed to prevent confusion.]
2. Make sure you log in with your Duke NetID
3. Click on the “Duplicate it” button
4. Update the questions to better reflect your context, including the following:
   1. “Which course/thing were you learning for?”
   2. “What time did you do the learning?” – Feel free to change the options for this if you want
5. Add 2+ questions to capture what you care about and any other information you think would be helpful for you to reflect on.
6. Submit the share link to your form in this Microsoft Form. [Update: since everyone has finished the creation of their own learning log form, this link is closed to prevent confusion.] You cannot start earning engagement points without submitting the link.
