Background: The University of Queensland has developed the Clinical Practice Performance electronic Portfolio (CPPeP) as a learning and assessment tool for third year nursing students. To promote effective use of the CPPeP in the clinical setting, barriers must be identified and strategies developed to overcome them.
Methods: A 24-question survey exploring the use and perceptions of the CPPeP was administered to 42 third year nursing students.
Background: In 2006, a digitalised clinical portfolio was introduced into an undergraduate nursing program. The use of a tablet personal computer (PC) with wireless broadband access could overcome issues around computer access in the clinical setting enhancing authenticity and timeliness of assessment.
Methods: In July 2007, a Hewlett-Packard TC 4400 tablet PC was issued to three participating students.
