It is now time to start your journal. The journal is an opportunity for you to reflect on your learning. Doing so helps to reinforce your understanding of the material. Later in this course, you will learn more about brain-based learning and will gain a deeper understanding of how strategies such as journaling can help you succeed.
So, let's get started. Here's what you do.
Take a few minutes to reflect on what you learned about the LMS. Consider questions such as the following:
How will instructors in your other classes use the LMS? If you are not sure, take a few moments and ask your instructors. Some questions you might consider include:
a. Do they prefer to use it for communication?
b. Do they have any course content available in the LMS?
c. Are you expected to submit your assignments in the LMS?
d. Will they use the Gradebook to show your marks?
What parts of the LMS do you think will be most useful to you? Why?
What parts of the LMS do you think you will find most challenging? Why?
What questions do you still have about using the LMS?
Where can you find help with using the LMS if you need more information or support?
IMPORTANT: How to Format your Journal
Once you have thought about your response, start a Word document and type your ideas. Write at least 100 words.
Set up your journal in the following way:
Be sure to follow standard Word processing format. That means that you should do the following:
Use the spelling and grammar check before submitting your journal
Use Arial or Times New Roman font size 12
You will add more journal entries to this document later in this module. Keep all your journal entries for this checkpoint in the same document.
