Add an Activity to a Trainee Portfolio

An activity is anything that a trainee wishes to record in their portfolio: case logs, assessments etc. Trainees can complete a blank activity form or select from one of the pro-formas (such as a 'Reflection' or 'Case Log'). Activities can be mapped to the curriculum to show evidence of competency either directly or thorough a current PDP item to show that the PDP item has been achieved.

Step 1: Click on '+New Activity' in the portfolio card on the dashboard of the trainee account.

Trainees can use a blank activity form or can select from a number of predefined proformas such as the reflection form here. 

Step 2: Enter a name for your activity or select from one of the proformas.

When completing the details on the form, trainees will be able to assign the activity to a predefined category, a folder, add a tag, add an attachment or keep the activity private. If an activity has been kept private, it cannot be viewed by anyone other than the trainee.

Step: 3: Complete the form.

Step 4: Click on 'Submit Activity'.

Upon submitting the form, trainees will be alerted if any required fields have been missed.

Once successfully submitted, the trainee can map an activity to a curriculum through a current PDP item, or map to a curriculum directly. The activity can be edited or linked to another activity using the 'followups' feature.

Supervisors along with trainees can comment on an activity.
