MOTM – How to Use This Course
These instructions apply to all modules and sections.
Course structure
- Collapsible readings: short, focused sections you can open/close.
- One reflection box per page: to keep your notes simple and meaningful.
- Progress helpers: optional “Mark as read” checkboxes.
- Downloads: some pages include PDFs or tools you can save.
Reflections: saving & printing
Each page provides three ways to keep your notes:
- Autosave on this device: your reflection saves automatically in your web browser. It stays here even if you close the page, but only on this device/browser.
- Download as a text file: click “Download reflections (.txt)” to save a file to your computer.
- Print / Save as PDF: click “Print / Save as PDF” or press Ctrl+P / Cmd+P and choose “Save as PDF”.
Tip: If you move to a different device or clear your browser data, autosaved notes will not follow. Use Download or Save as PDF to keep a copy.
Privacy & data
- No server storage: your reflections are not sent to a server by default.
- Device-local: autosaved notes live in your browser only.
- Share only if you choose: you can download or print your notes and share them with a coordinator if requested.
How to write a useful reflection
- Be specific: choose one idea that stood out and say why.
- Connect to practice: name one concrete action you’ll try.
- Keep it short: 3–6 sentences are perfect.
- Stay personal: write in your own words; bullet points are fine.
Example (short): “I’ll invite my mentee to pick a low-threshold activity (walking) for our next meeting to reduce pressure and build trust.”
Troubleshooting
My notes disappeared
Download button doesn’t work
- Check if pop-ups or downloads are blocked by the browser.
- Try another browser; then contact your coordinator if needed.
Printing looks strange
- Use the page’s built-in Print / Save as PDF button if available.
- In the print dialog, choose “Background graphics” if icons fail to show.
Accessibility tips
- Open one collapsible section at a time to reduce on-screen text.
- Use your browser’s zoom if needed (Ctrl++ / Cmd++).
- Screen reader users: headings and summaries are structured for navigation.
- If typing is difficult, write your reflection in a separate document, then paste it into the page before downloading/printing.
(For admins) Optional save/print script
If a module page includes a reflection <textarea id="reflection">
and three buttons with IDs:
dl-notes
– Downloadclear-notes
– Clear- (Print uses
window.print()
)
…you can add the following script at the end of the page for autosave + download:
Show script
<script> (function(){ const KEY = (location.pathname.replace(/\W+/g,'_') + '__reflection'); const ta = document.getElementById('reflection'); if (ta) { const saved = localStorage.getItem(KEY); if (saved !== null) ta.value = saved; ta.addEventListener('input', () => localStorage.setItem(KEY, ta.value)); } const dl = document.getElementById('dl-notes'); if (dl) dl.onclick = () => { const text = (ta ? ta.value : ''); const blob = new Blob([text], {type:'text/plain'}); const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob); const a = document.createElement('a'); a.href = url; a.download = 'MOTM_Reflection.txt'; a.click(); URL.revokeObjectURL(url); }; const clr = document.getElementById('clear-notes'); if (clr) clr.onclick = () => { if (!confirm('Clear saved reflection on this device?')) return; localStorage.removeItem(KEY); alert('Cleared. (Visible until reload.)'); }; })(); </script>
This script stores notes only on the learner’s device (browser localStorage). No server storage is used.
