This study will look into these factors, for example tools used for reflection, reflection topics, online facilitation and learning style preferences. This dissertation focuses on the role that reflective questions, reflection tools and online facilitators play in the reflection process. It determined which of these elements were more important to learners and how satisfied they were with the tools and techniques used in this study.
