CPD Team

I was lucky enough to share some learning this morning with CPD coordinators from City of Edinburgh  Council.

The meeting took place in Craigmillar Arts Space which is a listed building because of the wonderful mural painted by John Maxwell

The session was headed by Caroline Hill and Gillian Hunt of Workforce Learning and Development. The topics under discussion included

• collating professional learning needs
• focus groups
• the PRD process
• the impact of CPD
• a demo of the new Learning Events Module, which replaces the egfl.net system previously used to reserve CPD opportunities.

Caroline and Gillian were kind enough to find me a few minutes to talk about the CPDLounge and LeadMeet. As a result of discussions during the morning, I am looking forward to talking to Gillian and her team leaders about how some online tools might be used to enhance the existing systems in City of Edinburgh. Here are a few thoughts:

• Using online surveys to sample personal development plans
• Using Wordle to generate quick summaries of needs
• Using CPDFind to enhance the learning events

If you have any other thoughts, please share!
