PERFLECT: Self-directed learning made easy

• In Event: D&D - Design and Development Showcase

Short Description

PERFLECT is an electronic development portfolio for students in vocational education, designed to facilitate the acquisition of both domain specific skills and self-directed learning skills. It aims to reduce the amount of needed coaching by a teacher by incorporating a self-coaching protocol in the form of leading questions. Preliminary results indicate that users perceive PERFLECT as a useful tool helping them to better monitor their acquisition of domain specific skills and to become self-directed learners.
