Description
Bothersome Beasties is an open source website that students can use anonymously (no log-in required) to reflect and document issues and problems that they are facing in all areas of their studies. Redefining the task of self-reflection as a playful activity, can help students to quickly identify areas of concern by re-imagining the problems as different ‘beasties’ that are plaguing them. Students can reflect, build and create their own ‘beastie’ to help them creatively reflect on the issues they may be facing, whether in general or linked to a module or study work. The compendium acts as a playful application and guide, in which students from across any number of modules and courses can view other student’s issues and comment on them in a helpful way. It provides a platform for lecturers to view what ‘beasties’ their students are facing, and allows community commenting, to provide support and information directly back to the students
