Faculty of Education: Department of Childhood and Primary Studies
The Department of Childhood and Primary Studies at SU has redesigned the Professional Development Planning (PDP) module Skills for Effective Learning to help students gain knowledge about individual learning needs and strategies as they connect with other parts of their coursework. The course redesign has involved systematically implementing e-Portfolio software into all modules of the first year courses to support enhanced student reflection opportunities for peer and self assessment activities. The results of the completed redesign can be found by following the links below:
