PebblePad is a Personal Learning System which is used to help you:
- reflect on the way you learn
- keep a record and commentaries on what you've learnt
- prepare you for future employment.
With PebblePad, you will be able to:
- build your own electronic portfolio (eportfolio) of achievements (ie create, store, and review materials which you can then present as e-portfolios, called WebFolios)
- share documents, images, videos, and sound files, with tutors, other students, and anyone you choose to share with.
 |
These e-portfolios will be used as a form of assessment in some modules.
You can also use PebblePad to present a CV or a set of documents and media files to employers in a webfolio (an online portfolio).
You will be able to use PebblePad throughout the duration of your studies at the University of West London, and to take it with you (for a small sum of money) when you leave the university after graduation.

Graduating from University? How to set up a personal account
Please note that your University email account will expire 120 days after the end of your course (so by the end of September for most undergraduate courses). Once your email account has expired, you will no longer be able to access PebblePad.
Before that happens, you may want to Export some or all of your assets.
Even better, you can continue your PebblePad account for free:
If you are about to graduate or leave University, you are
entitled to a free PebblePad account for 12 months. This is provided so that you can take your
PebblePad assets with you and continue to use PebblePad to support your personal learning and
professional development as you move on to the next stage of your career.
