CEE TEL Design Content Management PebblePad ePortfolios Using PebblePad

Using PebblePad

Pebble+ is your private, secure personal online learning space.

You can create records of learning, experience and achievement by noting your reflections and showcasing your knowledge, skills and attributes.

Structured resources are on hand to prompt and guide you.

PebblePad is an ePortfolio tool available to all staff and students via LearnJCU.

Lecturers can provide a PebblePad link within the Subject Content, this will allow students direct access to their PebblePad dashboards at the time of need.

Otherwise, students can also find it in 'Books & Tools' in the left-hand menu of your subject site under 'Details & Actions'.

As video files are often too large to be easily uploaded and viewed in PebblePad. An easy solution is to first upload your video to a service like YouTube or Vimeo then link to the video in PebblePad.

I get a blank screen when I click the Pebble+ link in my LearnJCU site?
PebblePad opens in a new browser window and you will need to allow pop-ups so that Pebble+ can open.

Can I take the assets I created in Pebble+ with me after I graduate?
Yes, you can enable an alumni account which offers free, lifetime access to PebblePad including the assets you created at JCU.
