Three great things about PebblePad
There are lots of good things about PebblePad (and a few not so good, too!) and in this article I will share with you my top three.
Tips for Distance Learning Delivery
The Learning Innovation Unit has pulled together some tips based on recent experience (2017) of supporting the delivery of postgraduate distance learning programmes
Recording your Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
If you attend or deliver a session which contributes to your Continuing Professional Development it’s a good idea to keep a record of your involvement
PebblePad (portfolios)
PebblePad provides individual and collective online spaces for students and staff to develop, share, reflect on and communicate their learning and achievement
Blogs
A blog is a website which usually takes the form of a series of posts arranged in reverse-chronologocal order, i.e. the most recent post appears at the top of the page. Students writing their own blogs, commenting on other people’s blogs, and consulting blogs written by experts in their field are common learning activities in Higher Education today.
Blogging in Social Geography
In the first semester of 2014/15 I worked with a FET lecturer in Geography and Environmental Management, Sara-Jayne Williams, who teaches on a module called Society, Youth & Ageing. Together we developed a plan whereby students would blog about the subject matter and share their blogs with each other in order to construct subject knowledge as a class.
