I thought this might be of interest to the list.
Pebble Learning, founders of online Personal Learning Space PebblePad, announce the launch of their latest book, Pebblegogy.
A companion website is also being developed which will supplement the activities described in the book and will offer further ideas to inspire and engage learners.
The first half of Pebblegogy provides the most detailed explanation yet of what PebblePad is, what it stands for, and why it works the way it does.
PebblePad has now been used for over six years by more than 100 organisations and the second half of the book presents a rich collection of learning designs resulting from the contributions and collaborations of more than 40 practitioners from the UK and Australia. Each of the activities described is accompanied by guidelines usage covering, for example, tutor complexity, student’s ability to use PebblePad and recommended number of students participating. The extensive work covers:
• First steps with PebblePad
• Orientation and induction
• Planning personal and professional development
• Developing academic study skills
• Promoting group work
• Experiential learning
• Collaborative learning
• Self and peer review
• Preparing for accreditation
• Preparing for employment
• Learning for the workplace
• Action planning and project managing
