PebblePad ePortfolios
About PebblePad
For the better part of two decades, PebblePad has made it easy for students to achieve their goals with a flexible ePortfolio, structured template and assessment platform.
PebblePad is an award-winning online platform helping higher education institutions deliver student-centered learning at scale. Students from over 150 institutions use PebblePad to articulate and evidence learning, skills and competencies required for success during and beyond higher education.
PebblePad ePortfolio solutions supports reflective practice and self-assessment throughout the learner journey. Structured templates facilitate learning, allowing educators to design task-based portfolio templates to support professional learning outcomes and accreditation.
Assessment supports traditional grading, rubrics, standardized feedback, peer review, and capability mapping. External work-based supervisors, assessors and accreditation bodies can securely access learners’ work for assessment and feedback in real-time.
Powerful integration with a Learning Management System (LMS) means greater security through single sign-on (SSO), easier administration with synchronization of members and roles and scalable assessment with the ability to pass grades from PebblePad to the LMS.

Exploring High-Impact Practices
High-impact practices were first identified by George Kuh, Founding Director of the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, and the Association of American Colleges & Universities as research-based strategies for effective teaching. Kuh’s research (2008) suggests that the high-impact
practices (outlined below), when done well, can enhance student success, retention and engagement.
