it applies both professionally and personally. You may be a health practitioner or working in the
health-related sector. Assessment 2 seeks to follow your experiential journey through the
subject and map your enhanced awareness and knowledge regarding digital health and
informatics.
Task Instructions
To complete this assessment task, you must complete your weekly e-journal entries.
Consider the following trigger questions in your weekly reflections:
• What is my understanding of digital health based on the topic this week? (For
example, draw learning from this subject’s resources.)
• How does it relate to my profession in Australia and globally? (For example, draw
from wider research.)
• Is the knowledge applicable to me personally? (For example, will I use the
knowledge in my personal life or when interacting with others?)
• How do I foresee the knowledge that I have acquired translating into my current
work?
• Did I experience knowledge translation into my current work? (Anecdotal evidence
from practice or personal life).
Your Learning Facilitator will specifically provide feedback and marks on the entries for weeks 7
and 12.
Part A – Week 7 e-journal entry (up to 750 words)
This journal entry should include learning and reflections from weeks 1 to 6.
Part B – Week 12 e-journal entry (up to 750 words)
This journal entry should include learning and reflections from weeks 7 to 12.
Structure
• Introductory Week 1:
o Write an introduction on your current awareness/knowledge on digital health.
Consider rating yourself on a scale of 1-10 (1 = no knowledge/unaware; 10 =
exceptionally knowledgeable/aware) and then add reflections on your learning
after the week.
• Weekly:
o At the end of every week, write a paragraph reflecting on the topic of the week
and your thoughts on how it impacts you and your profession. Please name the
heading with Week 2, Week 3 and so on. Do not write concluding paragraphs
when you submit Part A. (It is not a conclusion yet!)
o You may draw learning from the Essential Resources in the modules and wider
research. These resources must be referenced using the correct APA 7th edition
style at the end of the document. In-text citations (where applicable) must also
be in the correct APA style.
o Number of words: Aim to write no more than 125 words per week. You may
write less in some weeks. When the journal is submitted at the end of Week 7
DHI401_Assessment_2_Brief_Reflective Journal_Module 7 & 12 Page 2 of 2
(Part A) and Week 12 (Part B), it should be around 750 words (+/- 10%) each.
• Conclusions: At the end of Week 12 (Part B), you may wish to add a few sentences
to conclude your reflections and describe the overall impact this experiential
journey has had on you.
Please refer to the rubric at the end of this document for the assessment criteria.
