Delighted to have received my digital badge after achieving all the learning outcomes of the course:
Footprints: Here’s my advice for future participants considering signing up for the L2L PACT course. Be committed, be realistic about the time commitment and be ready to be part of a team… or as you will become to know it a TRIAD. The triad offers an opportunity for conversation, sharing ideas & experiences, talking to peers from different institutions and career pathways and learning from them. Yes, many of the activities are completed individually (make sure you stay up to date with the activities) but many of discussions happen within your TRIAD, you’ll collaborate as critical peers to be awarded the digital badge -- all three peers bear the load (resembling the sides to a triangle). Stay connected and remember to enjoy the journey! I am now working towards the PACT L2L Facilitator Badge!

PACT helps us address all 4 types of learning outlined in the PD framework. Staff (or in this case teaching librarians) who teach develop their knowledge and competencies in their teaching with a variety of learning activities. Each learning activity can be described by different types of learning, individually or as an amalgamation. The framework categorises four types of learning associated with any professional development learning activity (‘new learning’; ‘consolidating learning’; ‘mentoring’ and ‘leading’).
For me I would consider the following: Engaging with this digital badge by digging into the National Professional Development Framework for all staff who teach in Higher Education. The framework, as a whole, is new to me (new learning). However, the parts, or the elements, are a consolidation of learning. I consider my role as an engineering support librarian a mentoring role as I aim to help students achieve their goals in succeeding in their course. In terms of leading, I also plan on engaging in the facilitators badge to enable me to play a leadership role when this badge is rolled out again. However, I believe that the four types of learning are entwined, when we lead, we also mentor, and consolidate our learning as well as learning new ways of doing things. Your portfolio should be made up of:
The Professional Development Framework, for staff who teach in higher education offers five separate areas, known as domains, to assist staff in exploring how they might structure their personal and professional development as teachers or, for us librarians as, teaching librarians.
Here is how I would explain the domains in less than 250 words!
