REFLECTION ON EXPERIENCE OF LEARNING LINKDIN COURSES
The reflective model highlights my experience of learning LinkedIn courses by applying
Gibbs reflective model. Specific model has been applied, as it will assist an individual in
becoming aware about his or her own actions as well as improving their behaviour.
Competencies gained through engaging in LinkedIn learning process
I enrolled myself for the different LinkedIn courses such as SPSS for Academic research,
Endnote essential training, Google form essential training and Nvivo 2018 essential training
along with second year Master programme. I have taken admission in LinkedIn courses with the
purpose of enhancing my research as well as employability skills. I have performed the detailed
investigation with respect to information and knowledge that will be attained by enrolling myself
for different LinkedIn courses. After completion of investigation, I analysed that LinkedIn
courses are very much helpful as it enables students to keep updated themselves with latest
technology as well as computer programmes. This will certainly help me in my future
endeavours and also certificates from this course will give me an edge when I will be appearing
in any job interview.
The first module which Learned was SPSS for Academic research. Before starting of the
module we were given brief overview about SPSS and other technical terms. In context of SPSS
for Academic research, the main emphasizes was on executing leading statistical software and
also on interpreting of Quantitative tests. The different topics which have been covered in the
module are analysis of variance, T-tests.
In context of endnote essential training module, I gained knowledge about tedious aspect
of academic research. During the module, I learned about searching of sources and gained
knowledge about creating citation as well as developed understanding about sharing lists of
resources. In this module, I developed understanding about exploring the way to leverage
Endnote X8 for performing investigation. The different topics about which I have gained
knowledge about developing personal reference library, organizing and storing references,
creating and editing citations, and sharing your research.. After completion of the module
endnote essential training, I have been able to develop creative and effective presentation skills.
In addition to this, there has been great improvement in my technical skills.

In the module of the Google form essential training, I learned complete procedure about
building as well as collecting information using specific software. I learned to insert images,
videos and developed understanding about the way of inviting others to collaborate on the form.
The Nvivo 2018 essential training module was related to the quantitative analysis. At the
mid of this module, we have been asked to collect, organize and analyse non-numerical facts.
Before starting of module, my instructor has made us about the different terminologies and then
explain us the concept of Nvivo. It is the module, which has assisted me a lot in developing
highly demanded technical as well as creative skills.
Personal view, feeling and experience during learning course
After completion of all modules of LinkedIn courses, I found endnote to be very useful as
it provides ease in managing the academic research in systematic manner. The other thing, which
I have analysed in context of Endnote, is that less time is required in formatting therefore, time
saved can be utilised for conducting more research on subject. I also found Google form to much
beneficial in relation to facilitating survey that involves large number of participants. I believe
that developing questionnaire and collecting the information about specific topic using Google
form is much easier rather than other techniques.
When I first attended SPSS module, I found it quite difficult to develop understanding
about the software. In context of SPSS module, the part, which I found quite interesting and
amazing, was to know about the way SPSS does computation. While I was taught about, the way
calculation is done in SPSS I was thinking about the use of same at some point of my career.
After completion of self-evaluation I realized that the specific issues which I faced while
practicing on SPSS is picking right information out of the results. I perceive that SPSS is useful
tool for analysing only quantitative data and I have also realised that Nvivo is best software that
can be utilised for analysing qualitative data. I also believe that the knowledge about different
software will assists me in making data collection, analysing and interpretation easier as well as
much faster. I think that use of SPSS for analysing the data is an effective strategy as it will aid
in eliminating the chances of error and would help in ensuring right outcome.
After completion of the self assessment I realized that I learn quickly by seeing the
demonstration of the things. I also like to apply the knowledge and skills gained in my routine
work which further assist me in retaining learning for long time.
