Reflections on development of skills
After accessing Leap online classes, I analyse the development of skills is crucial for
students as it provides many new knowledge and experience which will be provide benefits in
the career development process (Hu and et.al., 2018). It is really helpful for success part of
life. For the purpose of providing my experience in more effective manner, I used reflective
learning theory which is Kolb's reflective learning. It includes four important steps which is
form in the cycle that used by an individual in order to create knowledge by transforming past
experiences.
Concrete experience: I found to be a great experience for me as I got a chance to
access the online classes of Leap. During the classroom, my tutor told me about this website
and I got interest when all the physical appearance was banned due to pandemic. I found that
it is really interesting for me to get more knowledge and information about development of
academic skills and ICT skills. My tutor of has already told me that development of academic
skills is very important for the success of any student and I am the student who take the
dialogues of tutor in a serious manner so that's why it was a positive moment for me when I
got a chance to exercise online classes which is really helpful for me to provide a lot of
information that how I am developing more and more academic skills and ICT skills. All the

doubts about online classes became wrong because after attending many classes now I land
many academic skills such as PowerPoint skills, writing skills and many other academic and
ICT skills. This is the main reason for making my experience best.
Reflective observation on the new experience: whenever I thought that if I was not
a serious student who takes all the statements of tutor seriously than how I can learn about
many academic and ICT skills. I learn about Microsoft 365 which is not in easy topic and it is
really e a proud moment for me as I develop this skill to understand and use Microsoft Office
365. It makes me more competitive in the market.
Abstract conceptualization: From my last experience, I realise that it is very
important for me to not judge anything before using it. I learnt many important skills such as
communication and time management skills with the help of online classes’ sessions. I also
found that my digital literacy and personal development are enhancing with the help of
learning classes.
Active experimentation: It important to note that an individual should understand the
use of academic and ICT skills in practical manner. With the help of these online classes, I
am able to use these skills in practical way. This I can achieve with the help of completing all
the segments and activity which I got during the online classes. On overall, it was a great
moment for me to develop more and more academic and ICT skills (Tyagi and et.al., 2020). I
analyse that it provides me opportunity for my future career growth and more reputed jobs.

ICT skills is playing an important role in the success the growth of students' careers. It is
