=R is for Reflective Session... an //ACTIVE// approach. (Click [|here] for the link to the presentation - it is a .mov file)=

**Try this:**
 * 1) Capture the eLearning issue in 4-5 sentences. (No other feelings, opinions or ideas... DRAGNET - ‘Just the facts ma’am’)
 * 2) Record observation of self (NO ONE ELSE) - include your own feelings
 * 3) Ask Questions - write down 10 or so that are in your mind.
 * 4) Filter those questions - use the table below as a guide... pick out the 'learner questions'.


 * **Technical Questions** || **Blamer/Judger Questions** || **Learner Questions** ||
 * Expertise required - A solution is known or can be found.

e.g. //Where can I find the booking sheet?// || Finger pointing Looking for fault/blame Why has this failed? What’s wrong?

e.g. //Who is responsible? Why did this happen? What went wrong?// || Solution seeking Explores possibilities Open Proactive Acceptance Discover Inquiring Intentional change Win/win?

e.g. //How/What can I learn about this? How can I stay on track? What are my motives? What is right for me/them/the organisation?// //What are my responsibilities/choices? How does my attitude affect this? What is possible? What should I change in my approach? Am I being realistic? What do I really not want to know?// ||
 * 1) Ask 5 more learner questions after first filter - get rid of the dirt and focus on __you!__
 * 2) Answer them!
