MY PDP FIRST STEPS – GETTING STARTED


There are two key components to My PDP: • My Portfolio – where you add text, images, links and other content to an ePortfolio which you can share with others – found under the My Portfolio tab


• The My PDP cycle – follow the advice and suggestions to help you add the best possible content to the pages in your Portfolio – found under the Getting Started tab.
