As the projects have gone on in the first year, we have found that it is absolutely central to have an e-portfolio. sydd yw'r ffantafol iawn i'r cyntaf o'r wabodau yn dweud. Rwy'n rhaid i ddodol â'r partnerau. Rwy'n rhaid i gael partnerau yn UCDUL. Rydw i'r partnerau yn NUI Golway, ac mae'n gwaith i BOLL yn dechrau. Dwi'n rhaid i'r gwaith i'r gael i'r holl. Rydw i ddim yn ysgrifennu i'r unigol i'r Llyfrgell ac i'r gymhreithio Llyfrgell yn Daublin. Mae'r rhaid i rhoi i ddysgu'r ysgrifennu e-portfolio piloting and evaluation, competency frameworks, a sharing of the competency frameworks and development of digital resources are essentially within a partnership of the network. So what have we achieved? At the last panel meeting we had prepared a lot of content but we didn't have a digital platform and so you suggested that we focused less on inter-professional education and Dimpner. Thank you very much indeed for giving a lot of reasons why that was a good idea and to build the platform against which to put the content on. So that's essentially what we've been focusing on but I'd like to say that the collaboration between the partner institutions across the country is functioning better and better. We've got buy-in, we've got ideas, we've got new ideas and it's a vibrant group. We've got some policies and protocols mainly based around e-portfolios and we've also looked up common competencies within the statutory documentation for medicine, nursing and pharmacy. We'll come on to that in a little while and Erin, our project manager, will talk you through some of the e-portfolio documentation in a while. We are continuing to develop digital resources and we've got a web page. We've got apparently a Twitter feed and we've now got an app so students can put it on their phone or their tablet. That's what they insisted on when we were getting student feedback last year. So what are the deliverables? If I could introduce Erin O'Connell who's our project manager and she's going to show you some of this. Okay, well the first thing we're going to just look at the website and really this is the major platform of how we're going to deliver things to our students and also to our tutors. One of the main things that feedback we got from students was yes, we'd like this but we wanted on an app. So I spent a lot of time, I'd only started on the project actually seven weeks ago, so I've spent a lot of time to get to this stage in the last seven weeks. There's a huge amount of information gathered by the team, by the partners and the exec on e-portfolios. We have in particular TCD have been piloting e-portfolios with first-year students who are now just going out in placement. UCC, School of Nursing and Pharmacy have also been piloting e-portfolios and then IT truly have been very, very strongly piloting e-portfolios so much so that they've built it into their curriculum and they have been assessing it through a module. So the first thing that I'm going to show you is I'm going to talk a little bit about e-portfolios and then I'm going to hand you to Henry who's going to cover some competency frameworks and also our digital resources and hopefully all our videos will work. So as you come to the e-portfolio section, you have your standard definition of what are the e-portfolios, then also you have how do students use them. Now a lot of we've been very lucky with our partners in IT truly in that as they were going along and piloting the e-portfolio they were encountering a lot of issues say we picked a tool, pebble pad, to pilot for the e-portfolios and while pebble pad does everything that it can possibly do, it also can add a little bit of complexity to when you're piloting a portfolio and so the lower afty there came up with some fantastic presentations number one, but it's a 30 slide presentation so that'll tell you how much is involved in actually getting the e-portfolio up and running so she also created some little videos and our audios really what they are using and screencast is going to see if this one works here and what I like about these is for students they were short tiny little clips work to while ago didn't work and I actually have one here which I can show to the form working. I should stop it. So we're very grateful to our partners and to Lee for supplying that to us and we found that very beneficial in pharmacy and also in nursing and UCC that we were able to share these between us and our students found them very useful as well. How do tutors use the e-portfolios? Recently we were invited to a pebble pad user group meeting in Dublin so this gave us an opportunity to reflect on actually you know we were throwing ourselves in at the deep end using e-portfolios and using pebble pad and but this gave us an opportunity to assess how we were using it ourselves so we're to come up with what we liked about pebble pad what we didn't like about pebble pad how we would like to see it changing in the future and how our students were benefiting from it and there's a very good presentation there and that you should be able to go in and take a look at it again it's probably another 20 slide presentation on how tutors use e-portfolios and Tom O'Mara in the office of vice president of teaching and learning in Cork and gave a fantastic presentation to a wider form on the technology to support e-portfolios and he was doing a comparison basically of your very basic portfolio starting with say word word press linked in going right up to the top of the range which is what pebble pad which is the one that we chose to pilot and when he was saying all portfolios are equal and some are more equal than others that's definitely what we found as well in complexity and also in what it can deliver for you we have a comparison of tool section I haven't actually uploaded that here yet we have fantastic work done on assessing what pebble pad can bring you know to a module and assessing core competencies and reflections and but also we have their comparisons of other tools like Mahara and that I want to get approval for wording especially if you're putting it out on a public website like this we have the criteria that we used for choosing our our portfolio are you portfolio and we began basically with a paper based portfolio and then looked at what adding technology would bring to each of those areas and it was a very good way of doing it and it kind of opened up our eyes to you know whatever you had in your paper based portfolio needs to be better again for your digital based portfolio. We have an evaluation of the project reflective practice section and also an assessment and feedback section we have some very good documents for you know survey monkey surveys and also questionnaires for students and tomorrow actually I'm traveling to Tralee and because now that they have finished a module completely in any portfolio we have a focus group running because the students have their marks now so we have two focus groups for students running tomorrow and one for tutors and just to see what their feedback is a lot of the feedback coming in was you know that you know you can't assume students all have the same IT capabilities it also opened up in a you know areas of a huge amount of training involved for using e-portfolios as well which I'll go into a little bit more in our sections of lessons learned so I'm just going to hand you over to Henry now on the competency frameworks that's okay just as well we're running this on a test website because we got the name registered last Thursday so we're a little bit nervous about moving everything over and before today so keep going down sorry oops no no sorry just back here yep so we spent a long time looking at the the statutory documents for pharmacy the nursing for medicine and we in fact we got an English postdoc as a project assistant to look at the the themes within those so there would not be any sort of medical or nursing or pharmacy bias and what we found that you could divide the shared conferences into professional and practitioner areas and I've given some examples here we subdivided them and the work that we're doing with the digital resources with our partners is to work out suggestions for clinical scenarios and tutorials that may cover this and then going a lot on on the the the help that Dimpnig gives us it from her project to try and work out how we can get nurses doctors and pharmacists together we've had one or two focus groups and they say that the interprofessional discussion and learning is very very important so what what are we doing we've developed a very strong a very cogent network of practitioners and educationalists we've developed a shared competency document we're probably going to publish in two different journals one an educational journal and another one a professional journal we've looked at beyond the how to do portfolio instructions to say how do you actually use it how students and tutors what what are the shortcuts so and the the evaluation of the e portfolio will be submitted for publication we're developing a library of clinical scenarios and other digital resources mainly with our partners in UCC and in University of Limerick and we've got sharing of materials and guidance which we hope can be used for interprofessional learning how we evaluating the project I've sent the two-year work plan through to the National Forum the other day that members of the panel can look at that to check where we're doing but essentially we're using the work plan to see what we're achieving and what what the hold-ups have been we're doing pretty well and since we got agreement from the National Forum to appoint a project manager with a high level of digital skills it's made the the platform much easier to put into place we're piloting the portfolio and the website and the Twitter feed is live so this is just examples of the work plan I won't go into details there and what and then if we can just have a look at some of the digital resources for a couple of minutes the first one and Audrey Griffin is very happy for me to use this fully she's given consent and she's a lady who's going through treatment for cancer and there's some fellow talking to the beginning we've got 35 minutes of an interview with a remarkably strong woman and also we've had a second interview halfway through her treatment we're currently editing it up into two or three minutes snippets communication breaking bad news how to deal with the other professionals how not to talk to people so that these aren't just talking about the cancer journey that they can be dropped into various tutorial or generic tutorials another one and then we have another interview this is with Dr Jenny Swan from Sheffield who is a GP had worked for nine years in an asylum centre talking about cultural awareness I think we're running out of time so Jenny thank you very much indeed just briefly to finish things off and just one of the things that we you know kind of keeping with the reflective aspect of the project I just wanted to talk for a minute or two about the lessons that we've learned so far in particular and for example in the area of digital resources just even sharing the the physical way of sharing resources digital resources between the partners we had to create a YouTube channel for e-preps so that we could easily up and download share the videos and also have access to them on the website and within the area of e-portfolio I suppose when you're assessing an e-portfolio there's different complexities involved in each of the modules you need to look at your module to make sure it actually lends itself to an e-portfolio is there an area of competency assessment is it is there an area of reflective assessment for the student also one of the things is open and open source and closed source and for example an e-portfolio too like Mahara will give you an open source but that to me screams I need an IT person working on this as opposed to the closed source that we picked with pebble pad that gives you all the templates and you can get up and running straight away and the other thing that we found was you know when you're starting off with an e-portfolio sometimes it's nicer to it's easier to be able to start with the clean slate so you're creating your own templates whereas in nursing they wanted to keep a workbook the workbook that they have in the hospitals they wanted that you know imported into an e-portfolio and that was quite complex thing to do as well but carline and our exec managed to very good job of it the other thing to take into account is also the revisions of e-portfolio software so the one that we're currently working with is already going to be out of date in September there's going to be a new revision of it now it will be better and everything like that but there's going to be an element of retraining involved in that also one of the feedback that we got from Survey Monkeys please don't assume that all your tutors and your students have the same IT skills I better just rush through this thank you very much the national forum to our office of vice president teaching and learning to the exact group and our national partners this is our support staff I'd also like to say the biggest lesson that we learned was that we were floundering a little bit until we had some expert project management so thank you to Catherine Aaron thank you to the master student at UCC and pharmacy and our project assistant who did the thematic analysis and you can find us there sorry for over on it
