Issues?
Assessment tension: creative student-centred
portfolio and objective marking.
Technical constraints e.g. image manipulation,
opening documents, lay out
Consent for images/videos – healthcare-specific
22. School of Health Sciences
What went well?
Sense of ownership
Students able to display evidence in lots of different
forms
More informal (pros and cons?)
More of a personal feel
Students take their learning into their own hands
Some students loved the creativity

Situate Nottingham and outline the complexity of our courses.
If you are interested in free to use standalone healthcare e-learning resources, grab a postcard after the session.
Cultural competence is not about just understanding cultural values it is about valuing diversity and recognising our own limitations and learning needs (Srivastava 2007). Within society health care is becoming increasingly diverse so it is imperative that nurses are equipped with an awareness of what it means to possess cultural competence. Internationally competent nurses need an awareness of cultural issues that challenge their attitudes and beliefs to reflect multicultural professionalism. Culturally competent professionals play a critical role in reducing health disparities and improving patient outcomes (Hawala-Drury and Hill 2012). Because of the expanded emphasis of globalised healthcare and international health concerns there is a need to develop undergraduate opportunities to develop cultural awareness (Egenes 2012).
The majority of e-portfolio use has grown around the institutional and administrative benefits – using the e-portfolio to replicate the paper workbooks and competency documents. This is great, but means that the understanding people have of e-portfolio is based around this institutional model.
One of the outcomes of the Elective Placement project is to demonstrate to the School the student-centred approach – using rich media and personal stories. Sharing learning outcomes, competencies and experiences. Brining their learning to life.
Using the webfolio showcase for assessment
Gives others in the School an idea of how they can further use or begin to use the e-portfolio.
while e-portfolio is embedded into other areas of their course, using e-portfolio in this way will support more personal and student-centred functions, establishing good learning habits for reflection and lifelong learning as required by their profession

One to one very specific.
Some issues faced so far: -Images must be JPEGs
Difficult to manipulate images in PebblePad (so need to do it in PowerPoint or image editing software)
Limited options in how pages can be laid out
Some students were not allowed to take any of their own photos on placement (high security hospitals)
Linking to documents in pebblepad is a bit ‘clunky’, they do not open automatically, they have to be downloaded first.
Images/photos / technical
Tension – using it as assessment, so tension between student-centred portfolio and trying to assess objectively.
2000 word equivalent. Giving them freedom and trying to assess this. Markers and students.
What worked:
More sense of ownership
Students able to display evidence in lots of different forms
More informal (good/bad?)
More of a personal feel
Students take their learning into their own hands
Some students have got really into being creative
