In this tutorial, we will first see how to add activities to your logbook and then, secondly, how to analyze your learning activities.
If, beforehand, you need to take stock of what the logbook is and what it is used for, watch this tutorial.
We advise you to regularly fill out your logbook to manage your learning journey.
There are two ways to add activities to your logbook: automatically or manually.
The activities added automatically once completed are: services in language resource centers (workshops, conversations or advice interviews), consultation of online resources via the EDOlang catalog, personal work and borrowing of documents in centers language resource.
For all your other learning activities, you can manually create an activity line by clicking on “new activity” and filling in the different fields.
You can thus create an activity for your initial self-assessment, to define your objectives or for your learning activities outside of EDOlang (film viewing, tandems, etc.). The activity created appears as a “free course”
Please note, you cannot delete a line in your logbook unless it is a “free course” activity without comment.
Why comment on your activities? To help you manage your learning by choosing the most appropriate activities and resources to achieve your goals. Your teacher can also support you by reacting to your comments in your logbook.
Write, yes, but what ?
The idea is to describe and analyze the activity you carried out.
An example: you want to write your CV in English to find an internship and you used the “how to write a CV” website from the EDOlang catalog: what did you do? have you read all the pages, why? did you look for vocabulary, why, how? have you compared your CV with the advice given? was this resource sufficient to achieve your objective, why?
It is not a question of detailing the content of the resource but rather of describing how you used it and to what extent this resource was useful to you in achieving your objective.
You can write your comment directly in the logbook or copy and paste from a text editor.
Here you see your comments and those of your teachers.
Now it’s your turn!
