The assessment for this module is by portfolio, which must include a report or a case study.

Reflection is an essential part of the action learning process. The problems you work through and the things you discover in the course of embedding C&IT will be valuable not only for your own professional development but to others in your department and subject area. Your portfolio records your reflections on what happens, perhaps through completing a Reflective Log which fit closely with your Learning Plan. However, other kinds of reflective documentation could take the form of a diary, reports of meetings with your tutor and key people, reflections on critical incidents in your teaching sessions and so on.

The portfolio is a means of gathering together evidence of your work and your achievement both of the programme’s aims and your own personal objectives. It should demonstrate reflection, selection, organisation, progression and what is unique or interesting about the work you have undertaken. You may choose to present this evidence online or in paper format.  The portfolio is assessed against the ELT summative assessment criteria.   You have the option of submitting your portfolio for formative feedback, referring to the Portfolio formative assessment criteria for guidance.

You have a lot of choice over your portfolio evidence and the format your portfolio takes. For example, if your aim is to write a very comprehensive final report – perhaps for publication in a learning and teaching journal – this will contain most of the evidence you need and your portfolio will simply map this report onto the seven generic learning outcomes. 

Some suggestions for suitable evidence are given in the seven generic learning outcomes.  (Don't feel constrained by these suggestions- you are encouraged to devise your own alternatives in whatever format and medium you prefer.)

Whichever approach you take, you must include a mapping document and a section where you reflect on how the evidence you have included meets each of the outcomes and professional values.

Your portfolio must also include an evaluation report or case study for learning outcome 6.  This is discussed in more detail below.

An Evaluation Report should provide an analysis of the evaluation data you have collected and a summary of your findings. It will also offer conclusions on the educational effectiveness of your interventions and place your findings in context.

A Case Study should provide a summary of your objectives, actions and evaluation findings.
