Introduction to your VLE (Blackboard)

A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is a web-based platform for the digital aspects of your apprenticeship programme. You will use a VLE called Blackboard. This enables you to access resources (such as slides and handouts), join activities and interactions to help you prepare for the different stages of your programme and assessment. You may also use the VLE to submit your work.

Introduction to your ePortfolio (PebblePad)

PebblePad is a well-established, online portfolio software package used by many UK universities. It is particularly suited for healthcare-related programmes. The PebblePad portfolio provides you with a space to record experiences, activities, achievements and reflections during practice experiences and contains all the mandatory documents that are required to be completed during each practice experience.
