Through this unit, many skills are likely to be developed which can be incorporated into resumes and professional portfolios such as:
 * Demonstrated ability to use professional knowledge to address applied psychological problems.
 * Confidence in written and verbal communication of ideas using collaborative, online platforms.
 * Capacity to learn new technologies for addressing novel problems.

If you don't feel confident declaring such skills by the end of the unit then they could be considered targets for further skill development (e.g., through internship).

Consider including your submissions for the unit's major project assessment items (i.e., the book chapter and multimedia) as work examples (artefacts) in your e-portfolio.
