University of Birmingham pilot Destinations®Objectives
1. To pilot Destinations® within accredited programmes and curriculum based activity2. To pilot Destinations® as a career development learning tool and to identify how it might replace or complement existing resources such as careers centre website, <<progress>> for personal development planning, and the University’s virtual learning environment, webCT – Personal Skill Award
• Core module– Personal Development Planning and <<PROGRESS>>– International Students

Destinations and PDP • DVD created to raise awareness of importance of
employability and personal development planning – ‘Stand out from the crowd’
• Destinations® compared to <<PROGRESS>> to identify ways of improving skills assessment & the personal development resource
• Student evaluation and focus groups• Outcome: – re-design and tailoring of <<PROGRESS>>– International Students lack awareness of the importance
of transferable skills and undervalue unpaid experience

What next? • Addition of activity points pathway to PSA• Cross institution recognition of voluntary activity and
skills development• Concept of the ‘Birmingham Graduate’ materialising • Plan to incorporate revised <<PROGRESS>> into
student induction and tutorial• Next Step - to review career development learning in
the University incorporating Destinations®

Bradford - Destinations® projectDeveloping localised Video Clips
WHY?– Tailoring site - need to reflect student diversity and feature local
employers– Hopeful it will help students to:
• identify with the local content and • be more receptive to suggestions and advice
– Develop clips we can use to support blended learning in module teaching and workshops
– Increase our confidence with new technologies
![Page 9: He rmione Berry, Joan Cartledge and Sophie Miller](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816065550346895dcf8fe4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Bradford - Destinations® projectPractical steps
– Identified areas of immediate need for localised clips– Recruited a student to help with filming– Developed video clips featuring legal employers and ex placement
students– Discussion focus: specific career areas and job seeking skills advice– Developed 5 video clips for sharing with the Destinations ® Community
and several more for internal use– Clips now used extensively in careers modules and workshops

What we learnt
Video clip production – complex and time consumingStudents respond well to localised contentCareers and academic staff welcome additions
Need to promote Destinations® and our tailored clipsWe can do it despite very limited technical support and we will do more in future!

Using Destinations® as a key resource in careers modules
• CDS: running careers and enterprise modules for 12+ years• 2008/9: – 402 students studying on ten “CDS owned” UG and M level
careers modules– significant input into 9 other “school owned” modules
• Project: How can Destinations® support and potentially develop our careers teaching?
![Page 14: He rmione Berry, Joan Cartledge and Sophie Miller](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816065550346895dcf8fe4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Career Development Services Career and Employability Centre
How are we using Destinations® in teaching?• Career and Personal Development module students -
primarily level 2 and 3 UG (some PG and MBA)– Embedded in VLE (Blackboard) and links from CDS website and
intranet sites– Videoclips, exercises and activities used in lectures– Referrals in tutorials and guidance / advice appts.– Self-directed study resource– Self-directed study “units” developed using Course Genie
• Future? New on-line modules with Destinations® as core component
![Page 15: He rmione Berry, Joan Cartledge and Sophie Miller](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816065550346895dcf8fe4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Course Genie Project Semester 1 2008/9
How can we get students to “deep link” to the site in a controlled way?
![Page 16: He rmione Berry, Joan Cartledge and Sophie Miller](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816065550346895dcf8fe4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Career Development Services Career and Employability Centre
Our thought processes
• Blended learning – how do we engage our students?• Trial whether self-directed study using Destinations® as core
component (instead of a lecture) would engage students• Encouraged by example from Sandhya Tanna at Reading
University• Course Genie staff development course• Develop staff skills with e-learning material• Support from Learning Technology Team• Future on-line learning developments
![Page 17: He rmione Berry, Joan Cartledge and Sophie Miller](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816065550346895dcf8fe4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

What did we do?• Career and Personal Development Module for Economists
(Semester 1 2008/9)• Developed “Opportunities for Economists” self directed study
module for week 3(Developed Word document, converted to on-line learning unit using Course Genie, modified and tested)
• Included: quiz questions, research tasks• Embedded in VLE (Blackboard)• Evaluation – Quizdom Survey, Focus Group

Focus Group Feedback
“I looked at it but then started doing something else and after that I just forgot about it.”
“It is very helpful and I will call on my fellow students to use the opportunity to take time to look at the website.”
BUT: To get students to use self directed study material they stated that we need to link the activity directly to module assessment.
![Page 25: He rmione Berry, Joan Cartledge and Sophie Miller](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56816065550346895dcf8fe4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Our Reflections• Steep learning curves!• Pilot relatively successful in “safe environment”• BUT - how do we ensure students engage with self-directed
study? • AND - how do we know they have used the Destinations®
material?• Destinations® stimulated our Teaching and Learning
development. Recent developments include:– use of audio feedback– use of video for personal reflections (PDP using PebblePAD)

Current developments
• Continued integrated use of Destinations® in modules• Further developments using Course Genie:
– Goal Setting, Action Planning in “Managing Yourself and Others” (Careers Module for Pharmacists)
– CVs and Covering Letters for generic careers modules (to support taught sessions)
– TBA : Others to fit with new on-line careers module
• PebblePAD e-portfolio – forms to link directly from Bradford Destinations® site to PebblePAD
