Reflection Extension

This extension is suitable for use when creating accessible courses.

The Reflection extension creates a downloadable document showing selected course questions and the answers users provided.

This article provides an overview of the Reflection extension and extension setup.

Extension set up

To enable the Reflection extension in your Evolve course, press the Extensions button in the top left and select Reflection.

General Section

In the General section, review the descriptions in the question mark tooltips to understand the purpose of each of the settings.

For the Primary Logo and Secondary Logo, select the + icon and search for or upload an image file you can then select for either logo.

Under the Preview Reflection setting, click the Preview button to generate a preview of your reflection. Previewing reflections that are in the HTML format is sometimes faster than previewing them in the PDF format.

Behavior Section

In the Behavior section, review the descriptions in the question mark tooltips to understand the purpose of each of the settings.

Under the Display Learner Name setting, you can select Show or Hide. If you select Show, the learner will have to input their name in the reflection before they can download the reflection document. If you select Hide, the learner can download the reflection document without having to input their name.

Note: The learner name will be prefilled if the Evolve course is hosted on the Intellum platform or an LMS.

Under the Reflection Obtainment Method setting, you will generally want to select the All Open Input Components Completed option to allow your learners the greatest ease in viewing the reflection and downloading the reflection document.

Under the Reflection Components setting, you can select Open Input components in the dropdown menu. You MUST  insert Open Input components in the course before you can select them in Reflection Components. To learn more about Open Input components, see the following article:

Once your settings are in place, in your published course or your course preview, select the Downloads tab to view the reflection.

Learners can see this tab once they have completed and saved their answers in the course's Open Input component(s). In this tab, learners can fill in their names as needed and click Download reflection to download the reflection document.
