The Year 1 Computing/Gaming PDP Problem:
• Personal Development Portfolio sessions needed to deliver basic academic skills
• BUT failed to engage students from the first year Computing and Gaming Technology course. – lack of submissions, affected progression
• So we needed something to act as a practical focus around which the skills could be utilised

Augmented PDP: pedagogic approach
• Students Introduced to the Aursama AR app • Working in groups outside the class, students created augmented team
logos• Students were encouraged to plan, script and create an aura for a book
used in their course . • Supporting materials posted on the VLE with support provided via
discussion boards and comments on their group blogs.• Research skills to underpin future project work modelled – students took
part in ‘Fishbowl’ sessions where they fed staff questions as groups were filmed talking about their experiences
• Following ‘flipped classroom principles’ and drawing upon Vygotsky
(see Cook, J. (2010) Mobile phones as mediating tools within augmented contexts for development.International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning, 2 (3). pp. 1-12. ISSN 1941-8647 )

Results
• Student comments and responses from a questionnaire were positive.
• More students submitted the ‘PDP check list’ demonstrating skills in:– Group work, report writing, research, referencing,
presentation, blogging, time / project management
