Peter Honey Learning Log

[see: Learning Log]

The reason I've sought out information about this product is because there is potentially a little overlap... between his interest in learning styles + his reflective journal (log) product.... and my interest in learning styles + weblogs.

This is the blurb about the product:

Keeping a learning log is an ideal way to help you become an all-round learner from experience, because it helps you articulate your learning and make it explicit. In this booklet Peter Honey provides all the encouragement you need to review, conclude and plan from your experiences - as well as helpful advice on how to continue benefiting from the results! The Learning Log contains a sample learning log for guidance and 10 learning logs for your own entries.
