PebbleBash 2012: Making the Case – June 2012 Have you started to plan your conferences for next year? Make sure you do not forget about PebbleBash! In 2010 we had over 100 delegates from around the world sharing their experiences of PebblePad over an informative, relaxed and fun couple of days in sunny Shropshire. We are pleased to announce that soon we will be accepting submissions for PebbleBash 2012: Making the Case.
PP+ Implementation Meetings in Australia With the first phase of the PebblePad+ implementation process about to begin, Colin is travelling to Australia later this month to visit our Australian customers. In a whirl-wind tour of Perth, Adelaide, Launceston, Sydney, Canberra, Wagga Wagga, and Melbourne, Colin will be meeting with key stakeholders at each organisation to discuss PP+ implementation plans.
PebblePad+ Update The development team for PebblePad+ has been divided into three-core teams: a front-end team who are designing the interface and processes through the system; a back-end team who are working on system integration and cross-platform interoperability with the view to moving towards a cloud storage solution; and a team dedicated to re-developing Gateways, making them more user friendly and the assessment processes easier to manage.
New iPad & Assessment on Gateway’s Tipsheets We have recently added a couple of new tipsheets to our ever-expanding list. The first briefly discusses how PebblePad Mobile can be accessed on an iPad. Without Flash available it is not possible to use the main PebblePad interface, but the mobile version does enable access to create basic assets, complete forms, and post materials to Blogs and Gateways etc.
UKTI Visits Pebble Learning We were delighted to recently host a meeting with Doug Mahoney, UK Trade & Investment’s (UKTI) International Trade Director, to present our approaches to expanding into new overseas markets and to discuss opportunities for promoting PebblePad in new territories. UKTI has been extremely helpful, with both advice and financial support in our early overseas adventures, and our exports are now worth 20% of our overall turnover.
Expanding Pebble Team In recent months the Pebble Team has continued to grow. We welcome Steven Davies, who initially joined us for some project work but is now part of the PebblePad+ development team; Costas Kourmpoglou who joins as part of a two-year ‘Knowledge Transfer Programme’, researching cloud computing and data security and Sarah Roden, who joins our support team as a customer support advisor.
