BMM5652 - Reviewing and Planning Portfolio Enhancements (Three Year Programme)

Objectives:

On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:
Reflect on their experience in order to identify and select knowledge gained from formal and informal learning, especially learning from and for work
Analyse and evaluate personal work-based learning to date
Demonstrate the ability to present the learning claimed clearly and coherently
Evidence their learning achievements and the connections between these
Take responsibility for planning a programme of learning which is academically coherent and appropriate to their job role
Demonstrate an understanding of key ethical principles and relevant professional codes, in relation to their proposed work-based project
Demonstrate the appropriateness of their forthcoming proposed project - in terms of its capacity to enable them to achieve more learning towards their apprenticeship, whilst being an intrinsic part of their workplace role

Content:

Students will map this module's learning outcomes against the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) stipulated in their Apprenticeship Standard. They will collate evidence of this learning within their E. Portfolio (One File or equivalent) and make connections between the apprenticeship, the degree and their job role; ensuring that the apprenticeship standard is being fully addressed.

Students are encouraged to reflect on their learning and progression in order to focus on, track and plan the next stage of the programme. Gap analysis techniques are used to facilitate this and the Individual Learning Agreement written at Level 4 will be revisited.

A project proposal will be created, and will need to pass the module's assessment criteria, in order for the apprentice to undertake the L5 WBL project module.

These apprentices will have already taken the Level 4 research skills module - Planning Practitioner Projects.

Further details relating to assessment
Apprentices will undertake exercises and activities to establish what they have already learned, how to evidence this and what they need to learn next. Apprentices will be expected to reflect on the work-place progress reviews and note the success and progress achieved against set objectives at these by their work-place mentor and university tutor. These activities do not form part of the formal assessment but are essential in order to facilitate the apprentice's successful navigation of the module. Formative feedback will be offered for these activities as the E-Portfolio is further developed.

The assessment method is in keeping with those used in the Work-Based Learning Framework (WBLF) and standard University ethics procedures will be followed.

In line with the WBLF the project proposal may be presented as a wholly oral or written report or a combination of these approaches OR the use of workplace artefacts developed to meet work need but evidencing the learning outcomes and subject coverage may be utilised alongside a critical commentary/reflective account of learning.

Assessment:
