What they collected (media)
School of Health Sciences
Issues?
Assessment tension: creative student-centred portfolio and objective marking.
Technical constraints e.g. image manipulation, opening documents, lay out
Consent for images/videos – healthcare-specific
School of Health Sciences
What went well?
Sense of ownership
Students able to display evidence in lots of different forms
More informal (pros and cons?)More of a personal feel
Students take their learning into their own hands
Some students loved the creativity
