Abstract
The Health Informatics, Digital, Data, Information, and kNowledge
(HIDDIN) workforce is faced with remaining current and relevant in a landscape
experiencing rapid change. This chapter provides a holistic learner, employer, and
educator perspective to understand the principles of effective professional learning
and development. Concepts of evidence-based practice, constructive alignment, and
pedagogy are applied to develop a framework for a principles-based assessment of
learning environments and activities. Such a framework is needed by learners, to
evaluate available professional learning opportunities more critically. Likewise,
employers need to evaluate currency and relevance of learning outcomes prior to
investing time and resources into professional development programmes. Lastly,
providers of professional development can benefit from self-review against a shared
set of quality criteria.
