1. How can we do CPD better?

2. The iceberg is melting
We have frameworks in place (eg NQP & Dysphagia) but:
The resources supporting these are scattered
People are feeling overwhelmed
Members are too busy to go looking for the resources (time is the currency)

3. We are going to try a new approach…

4. …CPD resources organised into themed lists and arranged as a journey

5. Why are we using a list approach?
Lists are simple to use
Learners are in control – the order is suggested but they can proceed how they want
Learners can take a suggested list and make it their own – adding or deleting
Learners can share lists
Lists of digital content are familiar to us:

6. Why the idea of a journey?
The idea of structured lists through learning material has existed in schools for some time as a way to link content. Schools call these ‘learning journeys’.
It is now being considered as a flexible way to organise and share learning content for professionals.
We are going to try this and we are using the working title:
‘Learning Journeys’

7. What are learning journeys?
They are curated lists of links to content which guide a person through a sequence of learning in a structured way
They are like a playlist of recommended learning materials in a range of formats eg videos, articles, web pages, Twitter chats and live events
They are designed to develop a learner’s understanding of a particular subject

8. Why are they a good thing?
Learning journeys are designed to develop a learner’s understanding of a particular subject. They provide:
Clear navigation
Quick to use
Ability to adapt to the user
A framework for clinical & non-clinical subjects
A sequenced pathway through learning

9. What they could look like with the new website
A learning journey could look a bit like this on our current website…
