PebblePAD

PebblePad is much more than an eportfolio. It is a Personal Learning System being used in learning contexts as diverse as schools, colleges, universities and professional bodies; by learners, teachers and assessors; for Personal Development Planning, Continuing Professional Development, and Learning, Teaching and Assessment.

PebblePad has been designed with the learner at the centre of the system. It provides scaffolding to help users create records of learning, achievement and aspiration and has a reflective structure underpinning all of its core elements.

PebblePad supports personal learning whilst providing a powerful suite of tools to improve learning in institutional contexts. Conversation, communication and collaboration is easy in PebblePad; items can be shared with trusted individuals, published to group pages or made public to the world-wide web. Over time users can create, store and review multiple assets’ which can be aggregated into powerful presentational portfolios, called WebFolios, to provide rich stories of learning or achievement for myriad purposes including:
 * Assessment (formal and informal)
 * Advancement (promotion or transition)
 * Appraisal (self - peer - 360)
 * Accreditation (professional bodies)
 * Application (course, job, funding)
 * Articulation (informative story telling)
