 Reflection Paper - Online Collaboration

Write a reflection paper in which you organize your notes, collect your thoughts, and describe how your

learning experience in this week shapes your thinking and practice.

The concentration of the reflection paper this week should be communication and collaboration in

online learning. This paper should not solely respond to Sarah's case. Instead, this is an opportunity to

identify, analyze, and overcome your challenges, considering all aspects of online communication and

collaboration.

Paper specifics:

250-500 words excluding references

Your name must be on your paper

Title your paper (include the week number and topic), but no title page is necessary

Cite readings appropriately using APA style (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/)

Example Structure

Identify a problem you've had with online communication and collaboration

What difficulties did you and your group have in collaborating together effectively? Or what problems

have you experienced in the past with these types of assignments?

Analyze the problem

How did this difficulty happen? What did you and others do to contribute to this issue?

Propose some solutions

For those difficulties you or your group have successfully overcome, describe what communication and

collaboration strategies or technologies you applied and how you solved the problems with them. How

can you monitor group behavior or add in mechanisms to ensure your group will be on task for all

assignments in the future?

How to format your paper

We require APA style (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/)  to format all your reflection

papers in this class. Here are some basic format guidelines.

double spaced lines

1-inch margins

11-12 pts Times New Roman font

Be sure to cite any ideas or quotations that come from another source. You can use any standard

citation style, such as the APA style guide (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/) , to format

your references. The format accuracy is less important than the fact that you cite all of your sources

honestly.
