Reflecting on "H808"

I've become very conscious of the learning going on in H808. Perhaps I'm reflecting more on the design of the learning taking place in H808. We started with a review of the concept of professionalism - constructing an understanding of it via online discussion. to test and then came up with a "personal" definition of professionalism.. and then elearning professionalism .This led to me questionning the relevance of the concept of "professionalism" when its applied to my own context. We have also been introduced to the concept of eportfolios in general. Their uses and reasons for their use. Drivers for their application at a policy / macro level. Key focus? For reflective practice .. and the set of sub skills that go with it .. that support lifelong learning.

This was followed by an effort to identify the obstacles / issues attached to the topic.. and to explore these in more depth. This has led to a reflection on my understanding of these.. to then generate examples of reflection ... then I'm already finding myself reflecting on the reflection .. to identify my changes in understanding, changes in the depth of my understanding of this - the powerful learning potential of pdp facilitated through the use of eportfolios.
