Pebble, outcomes and student-led learning Ken, Heather, Jacqui, Helen, Yusuke or the ECU collective This facilitated discussion will engage participants in the theory, know- how and practice wisdom associated with academic standards through the incorporation of eportfolio approaches. Our experience in applying PebblePad to support learning-centred approaches and quality enhancement will cover a range of disciplines including engineering, midwifery, computer science, psychology and speech pathology.
Learning Outcomes Evaluate outcomes and standards-based approaches Discuss the role of the learner in providing institutional outcomes Describe and analyse concrete examples of implementation in discipline-specific applications Apply those principles to personal practice
