The L2L Joint Digital Badge – PACT Commitment to Professional Development
The L2L joint digital badge is an initiative of the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning and the Library Association of Ireland Career Development Group.
The librarian specific digital badge is aimed at teaching librarians or those seeking teaching roles. The course is an adaptation of the PACT commitment to Professional Development course from the National Forum. It will offer librarians an opportunity to record and reflect on their professional development by mapping CPD activities to both the National Forum PD framework and the LAI Professional Skills Base framework.
This initiative builds upon the L2L project which was a 2017 collaboration between the National Forum and three higher educational institution libraries. (Dundalk, Carlow and TU Dublin).
The course offers an opportunity to record and reflect on professional development by mapping CPD activities to both the National Forum PD framework and the LAI Professional Knowledge & Skills Base framework. It will offer the participants an opportunity to develop an ePortfolio to record and reflect on their CPD activities with particular emphasis on teaching and learning.
The course is facilitator led and runs over 6 weeks beginning the 4th October 2021. Participants will be offered the opportunity to take a further 2 weeks to earn the facilitator’s digital badge.
