Hi all, We have a couple of queries that we would like some help with if possible! Currently the University is redesigning all of its academic programmes to change from a 12/24 credit structure to 15/30. PDP and employability are included in the priorities for staff to consider as part of the redesign. We are producing materials for staff to take 'off the shelf' and adapt for their particular courses. To avoid re-inventing the wheel... 1) Does anybody have any module outlines, learning outcomes, assessment or marking criteria for PDP or its component activities that they wouldn't mind sharing with us (we will be more than happy to share anything we come up with once completed!) The second request relates to ePortfolio. As part of the redesign the university is going to use Mahara for document sharing and storage and since most of our academic staff are likely to use this platform and therefore have familiarity and confidence with it, it might be easy to adopt it as the university ePortfolio for students... 2) Does anyone have any experience of using Mahara as an ePortfolio? We would welcome as much information about it as possible, positives, negatives, gripes, concerns, successes etc!
