EDU4115 Professional Portfolio Development
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Credit Points: 15
 
Description:
This unit enables students to develop a documentary portfolio demonstrating their current competencies, typically acquired through workplace learning. The unit will include a study of various types and formats for portfolios, the portfolio design process and provision of appropriate supporting evidence. The specific purpose of the portfolio will be negotiated with individual students. The unit is designed to enable students to compile evidence necessary to support an application for recognition of prior learning. However, the generic nature of the unit means that it will provide an operating framework for documenting lifelong learning/professional development and also be relevant to students wishing to develop portfolios for other purposes. Assessment of the unit is based on the particular outcomes for this unit and is recorded on a pass/fail basis. Students wishing to apply for exemption from a group of units in an Education degree at ECU should note that the application for exemption is a separate process and is carried out following standard exemption procedures. A pass or fail in the professional portfolio unit does not predict the success or failure of an application for exemption.
