_ RCGP Learning

Keeping track of your eLearning completions has just got easier. Our latest feature on the RCGP Online Learning Environment (OLE) is the eLearning portfolio – a direct link between your eLearning activity and the Clarity appraisal toolkit.

When preparing for your appraisal, it can be difficult to remember all of the learning you have completed in the past year, let alone how many CPD credits you have earned in the process. With this in mind, we have added a new portfolio section to keep everything in one place and to make it easier to upload to your Clarity account.

Your eLearning portfolio is conveniently located in the ‘Navigation’ block, which is visible at the side of the screen on various pages on the OLE. This means that you’re just one click away from your personal portfolio on pages such as the OLE homepage and the clinical content section. When accessing your portfolio for the first time, you will be asked to log in to your Clarity account to link with your eLearning account. After this initial log in to Clarity, your accounts will remain linked for the next 30 days.

For any user with a Clarity account, the eLearning portfolio will hold a record of your learning for the last 12 months with the option to export any items in this record to your Clarity appraisal toolkit. The portfolio will allow you to review all of the learning activities completed in this period, update the CPD credits you have earned for each one and also add in any reflective notes. From the portfolio you will also be able to view and download any certificates associated with the learning activities, saving you from having to go back in to each activity individually to find these. As with the certificates, if you have completed any sections on GP SelfTest your results will be available to view and download in the portfolio.

Any eLearning activity you complete on the OLE counts towards your CPD credits. The following activities will automatically appear in to your portfolio:

• eLearning courses
• Essential Knowledge Updates/Challenges
• GP SelfTest

Activities such as the ‘Five Minutes to Change your Practice’ screencasts and the eLearning podcast can be added manually to your portfolio to track how long you have spent on them. This also applies to any learning activities that don’t include certificates upon completion.

This new feature will be available to any users with a Clarity account from October 2019. For a demonstration on how to get started, you can view our FAQ video.
