Padlet

What is Padlet?

Padlet is a tool you can use to create digital pinboards independently and collaboratively. It allows you to make a variety of digital resources in different ways - a bulletin board or blog for example - and share them easily with other students.

 

What can I use Padlet for?

Padlet allows you to create 'Padlets' which are collections of digitally curated content, and then share them with others. You can add text, images, video, audio, and attached files to a 'Padlet', and then share it with others for them to collaborate on or simply to view.

You may also be invited by staff to join or view Padlets, either as a way of sharing collected resources, or as a collaborative task.

How do I get a Padlet account?

You don't need a Padlet account to view or contribute to an existing Padlet, but you will need one if you want to create your own.

Your University Padlet access is linked to your University IT login details, so you don't need to create a separate username or password.

To create or access your Padlet account, go to University of Leeds Padlet, select Continue with Microsoft and sign in using your University of Leeds account. Signing in this way gives you access to the Padlet features available to University of Leeds students.

How can I get started?

Take a tour of Padlet's features, on a Padlet board! You can also find lots of information and guidance on the Digital Education Systems help website and Padlet's own help.

What if I have problems?

If you have any issues logging into Padlet with your University account, see the Digital Education Systems Padlet login guidance. For other help, you can also use the A to Z of Padlet guides.
