In MIRROR we support more reflective observations by care staff through the use of microblogging – in essence each member of care staff posts each observation in real-time using a microblogging tool. Here we describe the tools and approach applied in the first year of the project. We then outline our plan for a longer and wider trial scheduled for early 2012.

Have a look at our ideas on reflection at work from a business and scientific perspective here.

When and where does reflection happen during your work?

Armed with a good theoretical understanding of reflection, though this by no means should lead you to think that there is universal agreement as to what reflection is up to the last detail, we were interested in when and where reflection happens to the potential end-users of the Mirror Apps that we want to deliver during the next three and a half years.
