Learn by observing others and from experiences

Support learning-on-the-job and experience sharing

Learning by reflection on observed practices and collected data

Focus on acquisition of tacit knowledge

Reflective Learning at Work

http://mirror-project.eu

Reflective Learning

Returning to and evaluating past work performances and personal

experiences in order to promote continuous learning and improve

future experiences.


D. Boud, R. Keogh, and D. Walker. Reflection: Turning Experience into Learning, chapter Promoting Reflection in Learning: a

Model., pages 18-40. Routledge Falmer, New York, 1985.

The Quantified Self (QS)

Collaboration of users and tool makers

Self-knowledge through self-tracking

Tools to collect personally relevant information

Gaining self-knowledge about one‘s experiences, behaviors,

habits and thoughts

For a particular model of learning

For a particular class of support tools

Beyond classroom settings in daily life

Quantified Self Tools

Motivation

Tracking Cues


Tracking Cues

Tracking means

Software sensors: applications – experiences not directly measurable

Hardware sensors: devices – automatic capture

environmental & physiological

Tracked aspects/object

Emotional aspects: mood, stress, interest, anxiety.

Private and work data: photos, browser's history, music.

Physiological data: physical activity and health.

General activity: #cigarettes, cups of coffee, hours spent in a certain activity.

Purposes

the goal which the user tries to achieve by using it.


Triggering


Triggering

Active

Notification or catching of the user’s attention explicitly.

Passive

No identification of experiences or no active contact to the user.

Recalling and Revisiting Experiences


Recalling and Revisiting Experiences (I)

Contextualizing

Social Context

relationship and comparison to others

Spacial Context

Location in terms of city, street, room…

Historical Context

Evolution of the data in time

Item Metadata

Extra information and meaning

Context from other datasets

Weather, work schedules...


Recalling and Revisiting Experiences (II)

Data fusion

Data analysis: Aggregation, Averages, etc.

Visualization


Objective Self

Peer Group

Design and implementation of new

QS tools

Validate the framework to support reflective learning

Conclusions

A framework for the application of QS tools

to support reflective learning

Structured review of this strand of research

Understand the design space of QS tools for reflective learning

Understanding which parts have not been addressed by research


THANK YOU!
