For example, after learning about the importance of reflection to improve my learning, I have applied
Gibbs/Kolb’s model of reflection to analyse my learning experience from module 1. A step-by-step
evaluation of my learning has provided me with greater insights into ways I can improve my learning in
the future.
iii. Using reflective approach to feedback and feed-forward to inform and improve future formative
and summative assessments (450 words): Define formative and summative works with
citations. Provide examples from your learning in Module-1. Look at your summative feedback
on Moodle for Module-1 and demonstrate how a reflective approach to your summative
evaluated work could enable you to feedforward and improve your work in the upcoming
modules.
For example, looking at my summative essay feedback from Module-1, I have come to understand how I can
improve my work in the current module. In my feedback I was advised to improve my referencing skills
and follow the CCCU Harvard referencing style. I will feedforward this in writing my E-portfolio and ensure
that I cite the references correctly in Module-2.
