Who's on your team? presentation and paper outlines the diversity of the skills and attributes behind a winning team (fialist in the Impact X Awards and winner in the eLearning Excellence Awards in the relevant sections in 2015) alongside acknowledgement to their supporters and collaborators. Often the focus is on the process or product in the portflio journey however for a change this tie it is on the people behind the scenes whom contribute and communicate in a meaningful manner to achieve successful outcomes. Biography: Ruth Druva is a long-standing educator across the academic and clinical filed. She originally graduated in diagnostic radiography then over the years due to an education focus has undertaken additional qualification to strengthen this interest. Since 2007 she has been a member of the Department of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences at Monash University. Her research areas include work integrated learning, clinical assessments (OSCEs) and portflio development.
