Getting Started with Reflectivity

Available for: Reflectivity team members

To start reflecting, log in to your Reflectivity account using your credentials at https://cloud.swivl.com/login

First, you will see My groups page. Groups are spaces where colleagues can reflect together on specific skills by sharing thinking, evidence, and plans. On this page you can see what groups you are part of. 

You might also see the groups that you have a pending invitation to on the My groups page.

On the Most active page you can see what your colleagues are working on and find inspiration for topics to reflect on and skills to develop. You can join a group that works on a skill that you want to work on and start working on it yourself from here.

New page consists of all the groups in your Reflectivity team. By using the filter on the top right corner of your screen you can select whether you wish to see the groups created during the last 30 days or of all time. 

To create a new group and choose skills to work on, click on the “+” button at the bottom of the My groups page and enter the group and a skill names (you can also select a skill from the proposed options). Here you can also select whether this group can be joined by everyone in your Reflectivity team or only by people who you invite personally. Once the group is created, you will be prompted to invite your Reflectivity team members to it. You can rename 

As an owner of the group, you can later rename it by selecting it in the My groups tab and clicking on the three dots next to it -> Edit group name. 

Encouragement goes a long way. This is why we’ve added boosts to Reflectivity. Boosts are small encouragements that you give to other users when they make progress on their work. You can boost any type of activity of your colleague by pressing on star next to the activity in the group. You can see updates your colleagues have made, and you can click boost to give them encouragement. Your colleagues will see when you’ve boosted them in their notifications.

You can also comment any type of activity in the group where you are a member. 

To start working on a skill, select it from either of boards, click on "+" tile in the top right corner, and  select your next step. You can make a plan for your reflection, add a thinking in a form of reflection, and add an evidence as a video, an image, or a link. 

Once you start working on a skill, it is important to have a possibility to check in with yourself on your progress. You can check in by repeating the process described above - choose the skill you'd like to develop and select the + button on the top right corner. 

Once you have made your reflection, a discussion board will open on the right side of it. You and anyone that is a part of this group can view and leave comments. Please be informed, that if you have included video evidence in your reflection, the video will be visible to the person that you have shared it with only in the reflection itself. The video evidence will not appear in their Shared with Me Videos feed unless you share it with them separately from your reflection. If you want to comment a reflection that was shared with you, you will need to first join the community if you haven't done this yet.

You can access all of your reflections, discussions, and reflections that were shared with you in Reflections tab from the sidebar.
