STUDENT TESTIMONY Hi Mark, Just a quick note to thank you and the team that prepared the subject. It was very confronting, liberating, interesting and satisfying to fill the first part of the e-Portfolio. It has been very interesting to have to take time to reflect and search about career paths, real opportunities, starting point. I know my goals (now I am aware that I knew them already, now they are very present), but didn't know how to get there from where I am. I have been able to plan a path much in the same way that you do plan for a project. I have yet to do risk assessment, and alternative pathways, in case one path fails.Good fun on my most serious project, my career path.By the way, I assume our e-Portfolio is hidden from others at the moment. How can I share with you/tutors only?Thank you, [posted 26/3/13]

Pilot projectWhat and Why?

CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B

Pilot project

Process•Tailor existing assignment•Example•Demonstrations •‘How to’ resources

•More required for individual assessment tasks

CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B

CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B

Pilot project

Outcomes• Student engagement and Interest • Pride in the assessment task

Challenges• Technically not intuitive: challenging• Restricted creativity• Lack of integration with Turnitin

CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B

Pilot projectRequirements• Student resources and support• Clarity of instructions

Future use• Reflective space• Peer feedback• Link learning to learning outcomes

Course wide Implementation

Claire Margerison

CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B

Course Planning

Goals:• For most of the course team to have undertaken

the ePortfolio training modules by T1 2014• Then we can, as a team, plan for

implementation of ePortfolio over the course• With the overall aim for the students to see it as

a professional development tool not as “just” an assessment task for a unit

CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B

How:• Design eP learning and assessment tasks with a

student focussed and course wide approach• Integrate with Course Enhancement process and

focus on feedback and self and peer evaluation (Boud)

CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B

MDiet:• 3 trimesters – 12 credit points• 160+ DAA performance criteria level

competencies (eg. 9.2.3 “demonstrates consistent, reflective practice in collaboration with peers and mentors”

• 3 professional placement units• 1 professional practice unit in the final trimester

CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B

Why:• Course level eP will allow: • Collection of evidence of meeting the competencies• Reflection on where students are sitting with respect to

competencies and their personal learning• Individual goal setting towards meeting competency

• All of these will be progressive over the course of the MDiet

CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B

Potential issues:• Getting all staff and students to engage• Consistency • Workload issues
