One challenge for education providers is to decide whether they will support the desire of students to self regulate their learning activities using personal technologies. Various commentators suggest that as much as seventy percent of learning occurs outside of formal educational settings (Cofer, 2000; Dobbs, 2000; Cross, 2006).

My view is that there is nothing wrong with it, provided the writer is not expressing their own unsupported opinion. Writing 'I reflected upon this experience and subsequently adjusted my professional practice.' Probably the best form of critical thinking emerges from dialogue within the community of practice.
