Mobile devices in an Interprofessional Community of Practice #NPF14LMD

Abstract

The use of mobile devices shows promise in supporting practitioners to develop professional ePortfolios to document their ongoing learning and practice. This poster illustrates how practitioners within an interprofessional community of practice use mobile devices to develop professional identities. The affordances of mobile technology enable transformative ways of using multi-media in ePortfolios to showcase authentic practice and field-based learning in developing professional identities. The experiences of a practitioner focus group using mobile devices is analysed using a cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) framework to foreground changes in conceptions about Professional Learning and Identity Development (PLID).
