Revisions made to the Portfolio

Upon receiving the outcome, "Referral Minor" from the first assessment (11/07/2025) - I would like to begin by extending my sincere gratitude to the two reviewers that took out the time to review my portfolio and provide me with thoughtful, clear and constructive feedback to develop upon. I aim to address the additional requirements suggested with this revised version. I share below briefly some of the aspects I have covered with this version.

Core area 1: Operational Issues

b) Technical knowledge and ability in the use of learning technology

Addressing the feedback of the reviewers, I have added in more evidence to support my experience and exposure to various types of learning technologies. I have particularly mentioned the tools I have used, the projects worked and the reflection on the usage and implementation, including key insights when using these in an educational setting. Additionally, I have added in my accreditations and trainings supporting my expertise and understanding of the subject matter. Evidence from managers, colleagues have been added to support the statements.

Core area 3: The wider context

a) Understanding and engaging with legislation

As suggested by the reviewers, I have expanded on this section in terms of how my work has been shaped by the Equality Act 2010, as well as the role of other legislations and policies. I have also addressed GDPR principles in more detail, particularly in regard to my own research and practice. Reflections and key insights have been shared and other associated thoughts and findings have been shared.

Core area 4: Communication - Working with others

a) Communication and working with others

In this section, I have expanded on the evidence shared with more reflection and indication of key insights. I have discussed the role played with collaboration and dialogue with peers and colleagues to develop concepts and projects. I add in reflections on my role and how the feedback and responses from others structured my work and progress, and how I continue to develop these skills in order to support future roles.

Demonstrating the four core principles (applied to the whole portfolio)

ii) A commitment to keep up to date with new technologies

I have indicated my strong commitment to continue building my skills through relevant opportunities: courses, research, teaching and experimentation. I intend to develop my understanding and ultimately apply for more specialisations and accreditations from ALT and HEA. 

iii) An empathy with and willingness to learn from colleagues from different backgrounds and specialisms

Addressing the suggestions from the reviewers, I have expanded within this section, specifying in more detail the role of others, how that contributed to my work and how I intend to strengthen my communication and collaboration skills in the future.

Welcome!

This portfolio has been prepared for sharing evidence and reflection for the Associate CMALT (Certified Membership Association of Learning Technology) accreditation. Through this submission, I hope to demonstrate my contributions to digital pedagogy and innovation, while showcasing my experience, abilities and professional development. 

As part of the CMALT journey, I present an introspection on my adopted professional practices, the challenges I have faced, and the lessons I have learnt along the way. I share these thoughts with the goal of continuously improving my approach to digital education. 

I hope you enjoy reading!
