Room1 ASSET Anne Crook Elluminate Conference Acc Comments

JISC SSBR

The ASSET project aims to enhance feedback for students and staff through a web 2.0 resource called ASSET. The project will explore using video to provide timely, high-quality feedback and aims to improve feedback engagement. Over 30 staff and 1000 students will pilot ASSET, providing feedback through video to complement existing mechanisms. Student and staff surveys and focus groups will collect data on how ASSET impacts the feedback experience.

ePCoP Assembly Report

The workshop brought together over 30 practitioners from 10 projects using eportfolios to support work-based learners. Presentations showed how institutions have implemented eportfolios for work-based training, professional development, accreditation of prior learning, and to improve retention and attainment. Tools like PebblePad and Expo were used to structure learning activities, encourage reflection, and assess students. While implementation faced challenges, projects found eportfolios addressed original issues and added benefits like improved skills and recruitment. The event shared lessons learned and highlighted the role of communities in promoting eportfolio use for work-based learning.

E portfolios podiatric profession

1) The Society of Chiropodists & Podiatrists implemented an e-portfolio called PebblePad to help their members better manage their continuing professional development (CPD) requirements. 2) They provided 500 PebblePad licenses to members and trained Union Learning Representatives to teach other members how to use the system. 3) While initial uptake was slow, extra licenses were purchased and training was improved. The e-portfolio helped members organize their CPD activities and prepare for audits, while also building their digital skills.

E portfolios physiotherapists

The document discusses the use of ePortfolios by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) for its members. It provides an overview of the CSP's ePortfolio pilot program and launch, efforts to promote adoption among members, and feedback received. Usage data found that 16% of qualified members used the CSP ePortfolio to record non-mandatory continuing professional development activities, compared to 85% who used paper-based methods. The document outlines an action research plan to further develop the ePortfolio through iterative cycles of planning, action, research, and reflection informed by user feedback.

Our journey: representing, reflecting on and learning from student journeys

Charles Darwin University

A presentation from Connect More by Tim Coughlan and Kate Lister from The Open University Every student has unique circumstances, experiences, challenges and goals, and these are often invisible to educators and staff working to support them. Our Journey is a creative and flexible tool for students to map, log, plan and represent their study journey. This enables students to reflect on their experiences, celebrate their achievements and identify skills gained through overcoming challenges, all of which contribute to positive mental wellbeing and growth mindset. Meanwhile, educators can learn from representations of student journeys, meaning the design of programmes, classes and study support can be informed by student voice and experience. Finally, when student journey representations are shared by students and educators as a co-owned artefact, this can build a powerful, reciprocal learning relationship in which students are supported to succeed.

Innovative Delivery Doesn’t Just Happen by Accident

To refresh our courses one first needs to pause and take stock Our digital ecologies are changing because the way we are wanting to teach and examine is changing. Moving forward, we see L&T using new and more engaging forms of technology, designed to help our students not just learn disciplinary skills, but to find new ways of engaging with their peers. Improvement is a deliberate act that involves planning and execution. We need to find the new tools and techniques to help us with our teaching. We will look at some possible affordances you can enjoy when you are ready to pause and take stock.

Conor Bolton

An Online Learning Community describes the development of the Whakapapa cluster from 2003-2008. The cluster began as an ICT professional development group but faced challenges from school leadership changes and infrastructure issues. A turning point came in 2005 with funding for an eLearning position. The cluster then focused on applying ICT skills to improve student achievement. Key to the cluster's success was establishing shared values, leadership commitment to the cluster vision, and changes in pedagogy supported by professional development.

The document discusses the experiences of Marie Fisher and Andrew Hill in supporting educators at the Australian Catholic University to use ePortfolios. Their roles allow them to advise faculty on initiatives and investigate pedagogical tools. Over three years, they helped staff adopt the ePortfolio tool Mahara and integrate it into teaching. They found the process was slow and revealed unexpected opportunities. Documenting their experiences helped others and their own development. Their model moved from a project team to a sanctioned community of practice to build knowledge sharing.

Effective Practice with e-Portfolios

Jisc Scotland

This document discusses effective practices for using e-portfolios. It defines e-portfolios as online spaces for storing digital work, presenting selections to others, and supporting processes like authoring and reflection. E-portfolios can serve as repositories, assessments, professional development tools, or showcases. They require balancing institutional control with learner control. Assessment can involve archiving evidence for evaluation or submitting work for marking. Effective e-portfolio use involves aligning their purpose to context and designing learning activities accordingly while technologically and pedagogically supporting processes, ownership, and transformation.

The document summarizes the Center of the University Program (CUP) at the University of Sheffield, which aims to strengthen partnerships between student services staff and academic departments. It began as a pilot program in 2012 involving work shadowing and department introductions. Participants found it gave useful insights into other areas. The program has since expanded with partnerships between other departments. The university is now developing a wider framework called the Sheffield Professional to encourage collaboration across roles through shared values like open communication, knowledge sharing, and teamwork. The discussion questions ask how to further encourage relationship building and what models would work at other institutions.

PechaKucha: Juggling the Enrolment, Completion and Retention Conundrum

Nine Lanterns

National attrition rates show that 49% of students do not complete their first year of study and 51% do not complete their programs overall. The problem of low completion and retention rates stems from a lack of student engagement, enjoyment, and causes of attrition that are not addressed through course design. Case studies from organizations like NCVER, Massey University, and LeSoCo demonstrate that implementing learning plans, high impact activities, and focusing on the overall learner journey and experience through tools like portfolios and experience APIs can help improve completion and retention rates.

JISC Maturity Toolkit UWS Presentation Skye, April 2013 [original: Lea McKay]

Rob Macpherson

This document outlines a project between Kibble Education and Care Centre and the University of the West of Scotland to develop a degree program incorporating prior learning and work-based learning. The program would assess staff for recognition of prior learning and credit transfer towards degrees. It would develop core modules in social pedagogy along with a work-based opportunities module. This would allow staff to complete degrees in a flexible manner using recognition of prior learning, work-based learning modules, and existing UWS modules. The benefits would include more efficient training, showing commitment to staff development, and improving retention. Potential barriers include costs, sustainability, and organizational culture, but finding ways to address these could motivate staff learning.
