Features

The PebblePad ePortfolio system provides 6 structured input forms designed to accommodate recording of the kind of skills, experiences and reflections typical of most learning experiences. Additionally users can add any external file type to their asset store. Records and files stored in the system are easily aggregated into WebFolios and all can be selectively shared with others through user-defined permissions.

asset types

All of the assets and collections created in PebblePad can be shared with other people, either inside or outside of an institution for user-defined periods of time. Sharing allows users to invite others to access the assets they share with permissions to view, comment, copy or collaborate on individual records or collections like WebFolios. The collaboration facility means, for example, that users working on a joint project can collectively create assets.

To enable students to understand their studenting skills an Individual Learning Profile tool is included. Students rate their competency against a series of key study skills resulting in a report highlighting strengths and areas for possible development. The development plan for PebblePad includes a tool to allow teachers to create additional profiles and share these with their students.

All of the input pads in PebblePad contain context sensitive help to guide users through the system as they work. This means that a short tip to act as guidance is never far away.
