What is Padlet?

Padlet is an online bulletin board tool that you and your students can use to post text and other content types, such as images, audio and video.

With Padlet, you can create an online learning activity that is engaging and collaborative, and students can post their ideas asynchronously or synchronously. Padlet is available within LearnJCU and is supported by The Learning Environments Team.

Layouts for Padlets

There are many types of layouts to choose from:

  • Wall - posts in brick-like format
  • Stream - posts one after another (create date ascending or descending)
  • Grid - posts in rows
  • Shelf - posts in columns
  • Map - posts pinned to map
  • Canvas - most flexible, posts can be dropped anywhere
  • Timeline - posts pinned to horizontal line
