What is an e-portfolio
An e-portfolio is a purposeful collection of digital items, such as ideas, evidence,
reflections and feedback, which presents a selected audience with evidence of a
person's learning and/or ability.
What is PebblePad
PebblePad is the e-portfolio system used within The University of Edinburgh. It
supports personal learning whilst providing a powerful suite of customisable tools to
improve learning in the University context.
Purpose
You can use PebblePad to record, reflect, review, discuss and share your thoughts,
feelings, achievements and plans related to any aspect of your learning - formal or
informal, structured or serendipitous, institutional or social. You can record your
items directly or add multimedia files then arrange, annotate, submit or present these
online as you choose.
