PrebblePad - Exhibitor
It has been 8 years in the making but PebblePad has finally realised its potential with the release of PebblePad3.   Emerging from extensive engagement with the PebblePad community and our commitment to learner-centeredness, this Personal Learning and Assessment system has the potential to transform teaching and learning practice.

The system combines Pebble+, the private, secure Personal Learning Space where individuals plan, record, and demonstrate their independent learning, and ATLAS, the institution space that provides a powerful suite of tools to manage teaching and learning activities and the whole assessment process.

A major innovation in PebblePad3 is the template builder that enables all users, students and staff alike, to create templates to scaffold the creation of records of learning and experience.

We don't have sales people on our exhibition stand, just enthusiastic staff that are involved in the design and use of this innovative system - do drop by for a chat.
