Personal Development Planning (PDP)

 

Scottish PDP Institutional Development Programme (ScotPID)

ScotPID is a major new initiative supported by the Scottish Higher Education PDP and e-portfolio collaborative programme provided by the Higher Education Academy (HEA), QAA Scotland and the Centre for Recording Achievement (CRA). It will help individual higher education institutions (HEIs) identify, understand and resolve key issues affecting Personal Development Planning (PDP) in ways which directly enhance the quality and effectiveness of the student learning experience. It will provide tailored support and structured opportunities for development.

Thirteen institutions are taking part in the initiative. They are listed below along with their project titles and lead contacts:
