Project Summary
The overall objective of MIRROR was to empower and engage employees to reflect on past work performances and personal learning experiences in order to learn in "real-time" and to creatively solve pressing problems immediately. The projectc aimed to help employees to increase their level and breadth of experience significantly within a short time by capturing experiences of others.
The project team integrated creative thinking and reflective learning theories into various software apps, such as Carer, an app which supported care staff to generate new ideas when dealing with challenging behaviour.
