  1. Ready for the real world? Janet Hargreaves, Susan Bond, Paul Dagg, Benji Dawson, Blake Kendrick, Carrie Mitchell University of Huddersfield

  2. We started with a problem… (Scan the QR code to see CIPA.) How do we assure our students are competent to practice? So we developed CIPA, an online, interactiveself-assessment tool.

  3. We realised we had another problem… (Scan the QR code to see P-PA.) …how do we assure our students are prepared for practice? So we developed P-PA, also an online, interactive self-assessment tool.

  4. What is P-PA? • Preparation for Practice Assessment • (pron. PIPPA) • An online self assessment tool for students, tutors/mentors and qualified professionals

  5. P-PA was a collaboration between: Students from Health and Social Care, Computing, Business; Health and Social Care academics; Health professionals and technologists.

  6. Impact of P-PA

  7. Factors for success • Reward and recognition including payment (for the students) [Millard and Hargreaves 2012] • Not part of assessment - no pressure to compete or risk of failure [Orr 2010] • Mutual respect for skills and contribution - shared learning [after Vygotsky 1978] • Incremental development (practice research-style design) [Davies et al, 2007])
