PebblePad

What is PebblePad?

PebblePad is a versatile portfolio and personal learning platform which facilitates the development and showcasing of essential skills. With tools for planning, recording, and reflecting on your diverse learning experiences, it enables the creation of a comprehensive portfolio.

You may be tasked to use PebblePad as part of your course, including for learning activities, assignments and assessments.

 

What can I use PebblePad for?

The portfolio of evidence which PebblePad enables you to create can be strategically utilised in various contexts, including job applications and professional portfolios, offering a holistic representation of your learning journey at the University and beyond, including ongoing CPD.

The key to using PebblePad well is to regularly create records of learning and experience, from all contexts of your life, so that you build up a rich store of evidence to create a well-developed portfolio.

If you want to continue using PebblePad after leaving the University, you can create a free Alumni Personal Account. You must create this before your University login expires, and the account will remain available for seven years after you leave. Find out more about PebblePad Alumni access.
