Aims
• To further embed reflection and personal development planning in the curriculum.
• Helping students to be better informed about module selection – clearly showing pre-requisites / requirements, and potential career paths.
• Improving ‘cross-modular’ learning and teaching of research methods and techniques across the curriculum.
• Evaluate and disseminate use and applicability of DLM in non-health related contexts.

ConclusionsInitial student reaction was positive:
• Useful to see connections between modules:– Stage 2: 76% Stage 3: 94%
• Could help with module selection: – Stage 2: 74% Stage 3: 83%
• Useful to embed Skills: – Stage 2: 64% Stage 3: 80%
• Useful to embed Careers:– Stage 2: 81% Stage 3: 92%
• Not as interested in use for reflection:– Stage 3 52% Stage 3 53%– Would need a clear purpose (students don’t currently use ePortfolio)
• Limitations of results: needs further evaluation and full piolet
