Abstract
This presentation will outline the use of an EPortfolio (PebblePad) to teach second year Nutrition and Dietetic students to identify and interpret Australian food law in relation to food composition, classification, production, processing and retailing. An understanding of food law is essential for all Nutrition and Dietetic graduates, however given the complex nature of this area (e.g. language used in law), students in the past have noted that it is difficult to engage with this topic. In Semester 1 2016, a workbook was introduced as a tool to engage students in this topic area in the NUT201 Food Studies course. This presentation outlines how the workbook was integrated into this course and tailored to the weekly content and learning outcomes, and presents student and staff feedback on the EPortfolio workbook as a learning tool.
