Web log technology was applied to a reflective journaling exercise in a communication course during the second-professional year at the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy, to encourage students to reflect on course concepts and apply them to the environment outside the classroom, and to assess their communication performance.
Two Web log entries per week were required for full credit. Web logs were evaluated at three points during the term. At the end of the course, students evaluated the assignment using a 2-page survey instrument.
The assignment contributed to student learning and increased awareness level for approximately 40% of the class. Students had few complaints about the logistics of the assignment.
The Web log technology was a useful tool for reflective journaling in this communications course. Future versions of the assignment will benefit from student feedback from this initial experience.
网络日志技术应用于密西西比大学药学院第二学年交流课程中的反思性日志练习，以鼓励学生思考课程概念并将其应用于课堂之外的环境，同时评估他们的交流表现。
每周需撰写两篇网络日志才能获得满分。在学期中的三个时间点对网络日志进行评估。课程结束时，学生使用一份两页的调查问卷对该作业进行评价。
该作业有助于学生学习，约40%的班级学生的认知水平有所提高。学生对作业的操作安排几乎没有抱怨。
网络日志技术是该交流课程中反思性日志的有用工具。该作业的未来版本将受益于此次初步实践中来自学生的反馈。
