The University of Plymouth welcome you to the ePortfolio (supported) Route; we will be your host for this journey. The ePortfolio has been designed to enable recognition of experienced advanced practitioners, working clinically in advanced practitioner roles. The route provides structure for the development of an ePortfolio, to demonstrate knowledge, skills and experience in advanced practice. It also provides opportunity for practitioners to reflect on their learning and development, and to identify areas for further development.

'In this module you will use speculative design approaches (practices such as design fiction, critical fabulation and imaginary media) to explore and critique the implications and applications of ‘emerging technologies’. This term includes technologies that have been developing for some years but are now ‘emerging’ into mainstream usage, and technologies at the very cutting-edge of research and development – things that are becoming possible; or things that are not-yet possible (but soon will be – for example, science fiction).
'This module introduces you to creative coding practices covering a variety of topics, from computer-driven design to generative animations, working with media objects and building interactive experiences from the ground up. Learners will be introduced to the foundations of creative programming from a visual perspective and a range of creative coding strategies will be explored in depth, using the p5.js programming framework, with the view of creating technically, aesthetically and conceptually sophisticated applications. Previous programming experience will be extended into more advanced topics through experimentation with a wide range of tools that form part of modern integrated development environments. Technical and conceptual skills will be developed in order to experiment and innovate with live media systems, interactive computing and audiovisual technologies. With a view toward creating interactive artworks and software-mediated experiences, students will be guided through the use of computer programming as a medium for creating engaging digital experiences that show elements of real-time transformation, interactivity and responsiveness.
