Reflection activity

Give learners quiet time to think through what they've learned and what it means for them, without having to share it.

Written by Cody Iddings

A Reflection gives the group time to slow down and think through what they've learned, without having to share it. We believe that reflection time, designed on purpose, helps deeper learning.

How to add a Reflection activity

  1. In the section you want, click Add content > View all activities…, and then choose Reflection.

  2. On the group canvas, add a headline and description to prompt the reflection. We also recommend adding an Audio introduction in the options panel. It plays at the start of the reflection.

  3. Under Participant device, write what learners see on their phone. To show the same text as the group canvas, turn on Synced with group canvas.

  4. In the options panel, under Time allocated, choose how long the reflection lasts. We don't recommend more than 4 minutes. Much longer, and learners might become uneasy.

  5. Optional: To set the atmosphere on the group canvas, click Choose image.

  6. Optional: Under Background Music, choose the music that plays during the reflection.

  7. Optional: To show responses from an earlier activity instead of the image, under More settings, choose the activity from the Show earlier responses list. You can choose any eligible activity, from any section.

  8. Optional: To add an expert tip, which is a short audio clip that gives learners an extra prompt, click Choose audio tip.

When to use the Reflection activity

  • After a thought-provoking video or activity.

  • Before an activity, so learners pause on purpose.

  • To help learners internalize what they've learned and think about how the ideas apply in their own context.

Reporting

  • No data is collected from learners during a reflection.
