The latest update to PebblePad brings more flexibility, Moodle integration and
a branding tool for enterprise users
In the latest release of the PebblePad online Personal Learning System, users
are now able to draw upon items they create using common online tools such
as Twitter, Blogger, and any other RSS or ATOM enabled system. This means
that a wide range of items from documents to webpages or video links can
now be imported straight into PebblePad and then used as a personal resource
to support development or for incorporation into a presentational portfolio.
PebblePad is used for Personal Development Planning, Continuing Professional
Development, Learning, Teaching and Assessment in schools, colleges,
universities, professional organisations and local government.
The release of PebblePad 2.4 also sees the introduction of a Moodle ‘block’
which allows users to save records of their learning, for example quiz results or
discussions, directly from the course management system into PebblePad. This
new tool ensures that learners can continue to access evidence of learning
even if the Moodle-based course is no longer available to them.
The development of an interface ‘theme builder’ means that institutions with
an enterprise licence can customise the look and feel of PebblePad to
complement their own institutional branding – whilst still allowing users to
choose from one of the interfaces in the built-in library or to create their own.
These additional functions together with over 150 other minor enhancements
go towards making PebblePad 2.4 more powerful, more flexible and more
personal than ever before. For more information visit www.pebblepad.co.uk or
