Observational Recording as Part of the Workspace Activity in Group

1. To create a workspace activity which includes observational recording for one of your groups, select the group that you wish to assign this activity to by selecting the arrow at the top of the Mirror screen.

2. Here you can either choose an existing Group or, if you want to create a new Group, select "+ Group". 

3. You will then be prompted to create a group - you can do so by following the steps described here: How Can I Create a Group. Once ready, select "Create". 

4. You will then be redirected to this Group's Dashboard. To set up a reflection for this Group, select "New". 

5. You will then be redirected to Library, where you can either select the reflection or set it up your self by clicking "Custom". 

6. Learn how to set up the reflection in this article. Once done, press assign. 

7. You will then be prompted to select participants for this reflection. Once you enter the names of all of the participants, you may give the Mirror to the first participant and they can start reflecting by pressing "Start" button. 

8. Once the participant starts the reflection, they will be presented with all the steps that you preselected, including the observational recording step. 

9. Then, the participant will be prompted to reflect. 

10. Once the participant presses done, their reflection along with observational recording will be visible on the Group Dashboard.
