This will contain a short Flash movie showing how to import an activity from CPDFind.

In the likely impact area, you should enter how the activity is likely to improve your professional practice. For example;

• how will it improve my relations with colleagues?
• who will benefit from me doing this CPD activity?

For most educators, the impact should be seen on learning.

In the Activity details area enter a brief description of the activity you aim to undertake. These might include:

• the outcomes of the activity
• what you will do during the activity
• who will provide the activity or support you.

The mode is how you undertake the CPD activity, e.g. observation, action research or face to face course. You can see a complete list in both the drop-down list in CPDReflect and below.

Notes:

1. Blended should be selected where there is more than one mode in the activity, e.g. a course that has a combination of face to face seminars and online activity
2. If you are unsure, select other. If you think you have a mode that should be on the list then drop us a line at cpdanswers@ltscotland.org.uk
