Summary |
This website has been established to serve anyone interested in the quality of recording achievement, PDP and e-portfolios. It seeks to "promote the awareness of recording achievement and action planning processes as an important element in improving learning and progression throughout the world of education, training and employment". Individual learners are encouraged through various ways to identify, articulate and evidence their learning and experience in order to enrich their examination qualifications. A key benefit is for learners to reflect on their achievement in order to better plan the next steps in learning or employment. Examples of case studies that can be found on the CRA website: - PDP for Research Students at De Montfort University - Personal Development Plan Workbook: - Improving the Employability of Postgraduate Research Students at the University of Manchester: - The Training and Personal Development Planner for Research Students, the University of Leeds: |
