About the webinar
At the University of Plymouth, we have been running a Level 6 Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship (CMDA) for about 3 years. In December 2019, we had our first group of students complete their degree and receive their Chartered Management Institute Apprenticeship accreditation after going through their end-point assessment with assessors from the CMI.
The webinar will focus on the design and implementation of our End Point Assessment (EPA) portfolio in PebblePad. It will look at the process we put in place to help students collate, tag and streamline the evidence that they would then attach to their EPA portfolio. Our portfolio approach focussed on how to present the evidence needed mapped against the CMDA standards within a PebblePad workbook in the most straightforward way we could for learners and assessors. We used a combination of collections, checklists and reflective text boxes to provide a structure in which learners could piece together the evidence needed.
The webinar will discuss the challenges and changes that we made to the EPA portfolio over time (and there were a few!). It will also go through the feedback we received from students, tutors and CMI Assessors on the process and the portfolio. It will discuss what went well, what we have learned and what we might do differently for the next cohort.
