Date Due
Monday 23/11/22
Relevance
This assessment task presents an opportunity for you to extend and integrate your understanding of communication, health informatics and technology through critical reflection on the learning experiences that you have encountered during the semester. Your analysis also establishes a basis for considering professional practice implications.
Instruction
During your study of this unit, you have engaged with a wide range of learning experiences, including readings, commentary, discussion points, module reflective activities, assessment tasks, as well as practice and other experiences that relate to unit topics. These experiences serve as valuable opportunities that can influence reflective deliberation.
It is recommended that you record your responses to these experiences as you progress through the semester. A journal can be useful for this purpose. (Your journal is not submitted for assessment.)
For this task you are required to present four extracts from your written reflections throughout the semester, including one that relates to your group project experience, and three that have emerged from other unit learning experiences that you have encountered during the semester, including module activities and readings.
Each extract must include reflective analysis that demonstrates how your thinking or assumptions have been challenged, what deeper insights you have gained, and what questions have emerged from your reflections, and how you will apply this thinking to future professional and leadership roles. It is essential that your analysis reflects engagement with the academic literature. Please refer to Module 7 to inform your understanding of this reflective task.
The following structure is recommended:
1.Introduction (200 words)
2.Reflective analysis (1600 words)
3.Conclusion (200 words)
4.References
Note that you will be assessed on the nature of your reflective writing, the depth of your thinking, and critical analysis (drawing from relevant academic research) of your learning experiences and knowledge as related to this unit of study. Your personal opinions and accounts of experiences are your own and will not be assessed.
