PebblePad Workshops

We are currently offering the following workshops:

Effective use of Profiles
Type: Introductory  Length: 0.5 day(s)

Profile Builder is the authoring tool that allows you to build and manage Profiles in PebblePad. Profiles allow users to respond to questions and ability statements with scales ranging from 1-2 thro 1-9 and with short text and long-text answers. Questions and ability statements can also be evidenced or action plans linked towards their development. Traffic-light icons show progress, responses can be changed over time with a response history stored, comments can be added at each level and items can be verified. Profiles can also be used to support self- and peer-assessment.

This workshop will provide delegates with a thorough overview of the Profile Builder they will then be able to create a Profile for their own curriculum area/interest and publish it for evaluation by other delegates. Delegates will leave the workshop with sufficient knowledge and skills to create and publish Profiles on their own PebblePad installation.

This workshop is best suited to people who will have admin permissions to build profiles for their students use in PebblePad particularly those supporting students collecting evidence against subject or professional ?competency? frameworks.

Effective use of Forms
Type: Introductory  Length: 0.5 day(s)

Form Builder is the Form authoring tool that allows users to replicate paper-based forms in a web environment for saving, sharing and reuse in PebblePad. Forms can be created with different sized text fields with multiple-choice entries and with multi-column tables. Evidence can be added to questions in Forms and they can be saved and used like all standard PebblePad assets.

This workshop will provide delegates with a thorough overview of Form Builder they will then be able to create Forms for their own curriculum area/interest and publish them for evaluation by other delegates. Delegates will leave the workshop with sufficient knowledge and skills to create and publish Proformas on their own PebblePad installation.

This workshop is best suited to people who will have admin permissions to build electronic forms for their students use in PebblePad.

Creating and Managing Gateways
Type: Introductory  Length: 0.5 day(s)

Gateways are widely used where large numbers of users submit work for assessment, accreditation or review. As gateways provide tools to lock work provide access to moderators provide and release feedback and store grades, gateways can be used as an online submission system.

This workshop will provide delegates with a thorough overview of gateways they will then be able to create gateways and explore their full functionality. Delegates will leave the workshop with sufficient knowledge and skills to create and manage gateways on their own PebblePad installation.

PebblePad Pilot Workshop
Type: Introductory  Length: 1 day(s)

To allow people to run a small scale pilot of PebblePad we are offering a project workshop with inclusive accounts for 10 students. This will enable people to trial the features of PebblePad and the pedagogy of supporting learners with a personal learning system. Create a programme which develops skills in the use of PebblePad ePortfolio in a way that supports sustained and pedagogically sound embedding of ePortfolio use for staff and students.

This will be supported by equipping colleagues with the necessary skills to use PebblePad for their own personal development planning, use PebblePad to support student use of ePortfolio for personal development planning, use PebblePad to support (and assess) learning, develop an understanding of ePortfolio technology and methodologies.

Practitioner Workshop
Type: Advanced  Length: 1 day(s)

This participative, one-day workshop is designed to support teachers and learning technologists who use PebblePad with learners. It is aimed at colleagues who already have some experience of PebblePad and its more common functions. Broadly the workshop is composed of 4 sessions.

In session 1 the common functions of PebblePad are explored to exploit a number of learning activities which are generalisable to a range of learning contexts.

In session 2 some of PebblePad?s advanced features are explored and their potential discussed for enhancing learning for project work placements and for the professions.

In session 3 participants will be introduced to gateways and their various functions which are used to support formative and summative assessment. This part of the workshop will concentrate on gateways from the ?tutor? perspective though there will be the opportunity to explore some of the advanced ?admin? features.

In the final session participants will use the form builder tool to build and use bespoke forms.
