Welcome to My PDP for Visitors

Information for staff from other Higher Education institutions: Sharing My PDP Resources

We are willing to share the My PDP resource with other universities and colleges. Until recently, the material was available on a CD for free use within UK educational institutions using an Academic License agreement provided by the University of Dundee. However, limited resources mean this facility is no longer available.

However, to gain temporary access to My PDP, for a one month trial period under some terms and conditions, a user name and password can be requested from Dr Eric Monaghan e.d.monaghan@dundee.ac.uk

Following access, the University's PDP team is particularly keen to hear back about enhancements that could be made to the My PDP resource which provide good examples of student use of the ePortfolio system within Blackboard. We currently use Blackboard 9 with the Learning Objects Expo Tool.
