REF: 66-2310-5901326 - E-PAD Accessibility
Your comment: Can the nursing students EPAD be added to the student sites/ websites page on the university website if possible please. Its hard to locate if it is not saved on our tabs. Our only other way to access it is to go via blackboard and into last years module. Thankyou
Our response:
Many thanks for bringing this to my attention and can provide the following feedback.
‘All first year students were provided a 2 hours in person lecture on 25th September 2023 on how to access the E-PAD, this session was also recorded on Panopto and remains available to view on Blackboard on their module for practice placements on NU10460 in the ‘Learning Material Folder’, which students have been guided to.
The link can be found here: https://blackboard.aber.ac.uk/ultra/courses/_47309_1/outline
The link to the EPAD is a SSO (Single Sign On) and clear instructions are also provided by the E-PAD lead for students and both Practice Assessors and Practice Supervisors to aide them whilst undertaking practice placements.
Students were also provided with Self-directed study on 17th October 2023 specifically for familiarisation with the E-PAD works and how to access it, which the session was called ‘ E-PAD My knowledge map student training’. The E-PAD is a personal and confidential report of their progression in clinical practice placements.
The E-PAD lead will also place an additional announcement for students today on Blackboard and repeat all access links to aide their learning journey further. The E-PAD is accessible to be used via a smart phone, tablet, laptop or desk top computer and once accessed, students are encouraged to download the app for ease and accessibility.
Should students have individual queries they are encouraged to contact the E-PAD lead Gwyn Jones: gwj377@aber.ac.uk
