Activating learning through the lifetime navigator: a tool for reflection

This paper emphasizes the importance of learning in the workplace through reflecting after action, as in Kolb's experiential learning cycle. One of the most effective ways of producing insights from personal experience is by keeping a learning log as a means of reflecting upon, and articulating past actions. However, many busy practitioners fail to capitalize on experiential learning opportunities, perhaps because of the time and discipline involved. One way of resolving this problem is to combine the features of a diary and learning log into an integrated learning navigator that provides an accessible framework for reflective learning.
