24. 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]

CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
31. Pilot project

• Clarity of instructions
Future use
• Reflective space
• Peer feedback
• Link learning to learning outcomes
CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
33. 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
34. 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

35. 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
36. 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
37. Potential issues:
• Getting all staff and students to engage
• Consistency
• Workload issues
