Resources to Support Graduate Employability
PEBBLEPAD AND FUTURE-READINESS
Increasingly, universities are promoting active, authentic learning – within and beyond the classroom, with activities such as work placements, study abroad, research and collaborative projects and volunteering/community engagement.
We believe that supporting students on their personal learning journeys should be the ambition of every university. But we understand that for those involved in managing and supporting student development it can present challenges - especially for large cohorts.
That’s why PebblePad delivers tools for educators to easily build frameworks and resources for learning, monitor engagement, and provide formative and summative feedback and assessment to help students shape their journey. Couple this capability with out-of-the-box integration and robust reporting and analytics tools, and the ability to support the end-to-end learning journeys of students is beginning to look like a walk in the park (or a jog at most).
