This is the abridged version of a fuller presentation enhanced with examples of portfolios from across the globe. This presentation explores how PebblePad is able to attend to institutional needs (assessment, verification, quality assurance of learning) without compromising the idea(l) of the learning, and their learning, being at the centre of all learning - and platform - design.

Editor's Notes
- For people who haven’t seen PebblePad – this is what it looks like when a user logs in
- This is a made up example used to show what a resume style portfolio might look like
- Learning Centeredness – learning happens anywhere. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable, not yet processed or for personal consumption only. Hence our privacy levels. Life-wide and life-long. Personal accounts, transferrability, export, account linking Easy to make sense of experience – generic, user-constructed and teacher-created prompts. A tutor/mentor/guide for every occasion. Learning design – learning is always personal, but great opportunities to learn are often the result of an expert intervention Assessment for learning – assessment should always promote new learning even if it’s summative Learning is social – feedback, comments, writing for an audience
- We make this claim based on the 70+ case studies published openly on our website
- These are the learning processes we hope to encourage and develop
- The ‘evidence’ of these processes are the assets securely maintained in the asset store
- PebblePad is the system built around these notions…
- …and provides tools and scaffolding to support and encourage learning
- These are the kinds of things possible to be created or uploaded to PebblePad. Interestingly, all of those not highlighted are able to be ‘bespokified’ to accommodate personal learning designs
- Even when it comes to showcasing, there’s more to PebblePad’s outputs than just portfolios
- Flourish is the guided development space
- And ATLAS the place where institutional (assessment) processes are supported
- Keeping the learner in control of their assets is a powerful set of sharing and collaboration permissions
- Institutional systems through LTI, Shibboleth, APIs and other standards
- And open APIs to allow users to access assets stored across the cloud
- When a student graduates the institutional tools fall away, leaving the user with all of their assets and all of the tools they need to create new ones and edit existing ones
