Please fill this in as you see fit, and discuss under the discussion tab, rather than here. No need to sign things on this page, but do please put a signed entry under the discussion page instead. I will consolidate contributions and take away the signatures as material is merged in. If you want to add another subheading, go ahead: if you think one is unhelpful, please discuss under discussion.

Introduction
The concept of a reflexion started out with the recognition that IMS LIP did not have a suitable structure for representing reflective writing, which is very common in many areas including personal development practice, but which is not often a part of a CV or similar presentation. Initially the concept was of a "statement", which covered both reflective writing by the individual, and writings by others such as testimonials or witness statements, which are important to a broad range of evidencing practice, but again which had no place in IMS LIP.

Rough informal definition
A reflexion is any work in which the portfolio holder or another person expresses something about themselves, or something directly or indirectly relevant to themselves.

What it is not
If there is a single description of any other item, then preferably it should be recorded in that item's own description, rather than in a separate reflexion entry.

Usual information
