Industry-based projects and experiential learning enable learners to apply their knowledge of theory to a real-world scenario. Where reflection follows the project assignment then learners can benefit even more from the insights they have gained during the project. This paper will report on the process of the Information Technology Project undertaken by third year undergraduate students at UNITEC and examine the role of the Learning Management System (Blackboard) in raising the learner's level of reasoning through postings to group discussion forums that report on progress throughout the project life cycle and reflect upon the insights generated from the issues and challenges encountered. Constructive and timely feedback delivered online by the supervisor, who is also an industry practitioner, assists students to glean additional layers of learning from the project that may not have been possible in the traditional classroom or work environments. |
