Conclusions Initial student reaction was positive: • Useful to see connections between modules: – Stage 2: 76% Stage 3: 94% • Could help with module selection: – Stage 2: 74% Stage 3: 83% • Useful to embed Skills: – Stage 2: 64% Stage 3: 80% • Useful to embed Careers: – Stage 2: 81% Stage 3: 92% • Not as interested in use for reflection: – Stage 3 52% Stage 3 53% – Would need a clear purpose (students don’t currently use ePortfolio) • Limitations of results: needs further evaluation and full piolet
