Share
03 March 2026

Reflection assignments do not automatically lead to deep learning. With the 5C framework, you can make reflection meaningful, coherent and challenging.

In this didactic tip, you will discover how to structurally embed reflection into your course by using five principles, help students connect theory and practice and guide them purposefully in their development.

For an overview of all VU CTL teaching tips, please go to Tips for Active Blended Learning.
