25. 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.
Thank you

31. Claire Margerison: Course Planning
Goals:
1. For most of the course team to have undertaken
the ePortfolio training modules by T1 2014
2. Then we can, as a team, plan for
implementation of ePortfolio over the course
3. 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
32. Course level integration
Masters of Dietetics
• 160+ DAA performance criteria level
competencies
eg. 9.2.3 “demonstrates consistent, reflective
practice in collaboration with peers and mentors”
CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
33. Course enhancement strategy
1. Design eP learning and assessment tasks with a
student focussed and course wide approach
2. Integrate with Course Enhancement process
3. Focus on feedback and self and peer evaluation
(Boud)
CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
34. Course level eP will allow:
1. Collection of evidence of meeting the competencies
2. Reflection on where students are sitting with
respect to competencies and their personal
learning
3. Individual goal setting towards meeting
competency
4. All of these will be progressive over the course of
the MDiet

61. Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
EVALUATION
• Most of our current teaching and assessment practices are not
evidence based (and in some cases continue despite evidence
for their lack of effectiveness – e.g feedback)
• Many international research findings are not relevant to the
Australian context, our teaching and our students
• Useful to evaluate the impact of existing and emerging teaching
practices
• Consider allocating a percentage of course enhancement
activities and funds to lit review and evaluation
CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
