Abstract
This paper reflects on multimedia reflective journals within the learning of multimedia production for educational purposes. It explores the reflective actions of three teacher education students as they progressively record their development in multimedia learning. The paper provides the context in which the reflection takes place and analyses the stages and aspects of reflection. It finds that reflection occurs in stages identified as 'dismay and frustration', 'making progress', and 'ultimate success'. It also considers what constitutes meaningful reflection, the value of the creative journal as a reflective tool, and the transfer between reflection as student and reflection as teacher. It concludes that the creative journal served a valuable function in providing opportunities for the participants to reflect on their own learning, and that it could be expected that there would be some consequent reformulation in the teaching practices of the participants.
