Bill Harris (a frequent correspondent to LO) and I are writing a chapter on
"learning logs" in a forthcoming book on action learning. We want to
ground the chapter in experience that goes beyond our own, and various
people around the world are co-operating with us on this.

Some issues we are interested in are :-

how are the journals structured ?
what questions does the journal ask ?
why were those questions selected ?
how does all this link into what we know about the way in which people
"reflect" and "learn" ?

Perhaps most importantly we want to explore why learning journals "work"
for some people, and not for others.

We would love to have some practical examples, so we can write the chapter
in a way that is really useful - that is in itself a reflective
contribution to learning.

If you don't want to clog up this list then reply to me directly on

Many thanks

Bob
