LEARNING LOG

What I did Date(s) What I learned How I will use this going

forward

How I will build on what I

learned

Ex: Recorded

first online

“mini-

lectures”

March • How to use Canvas conferences

• How to break up content into “bite- sized” segments

Certainly will use again for future online teaching, but also thinking about how to make content more digestible with “mini-lecture, application” combos in on ground courses

• I will likely try out then assess a similar approach in my on ground courses, but also will gather feedback from current students on how this worked for them
• May search for resources to learn more about segmenting content or creating engaging mini or micro-lectures and/or ask to view colleagues’ mini- lecture recordings to get ideas

One effect of the COVD-19 pandemic is that many professional development events on and off campus have been cancelled or

postponed; however, that is no reason to stop learning! The Lindenwood Learning Academy encourages you to recognize how

you are developing as you work in new ways, to seek out new learning opportunities, and to reflect on what you are learning

and how you will apply it. Toward these ends, consider using this template to create your own Learning Log.

Bonus: Tracking your learning in this way will be a big help when you need to discuss professional

development with your supervisor or report it during evaluation time.

Project

Management

Foundations

April 3rd

There is way more to project management than I thought! I learned the basics of project planning– how to identify and engage stakeholders, how to create project goals, how to choose a project strategy, how to determine budget.

I’m going to apply it where I can to my day to day work, treating the ongoing tasks like a project to make things more organized, coherent, and strategic. I’m also going to apply it in my volunteer work as a Girl Scout leader.

I plan to ask my supervisor if I can practice implementing what I learned by serving as the project leader for our next big initiative.
