Access

Access from your computer

Staff and students can access PebblePad via the channel on MyEd.

• For students, the channel should appear under the "Studies" tab in the “Study tools” section.
• For academic staff members the channel should appear under the "Teaching" tab.
• For professional services staff,  the PebblePad channel needs to be added by clicking on 'Customise' under the red 'Home' tab on the main horizontal navigation bar; and searching for "PebblePad" in the search box . 

Alternatively, you can access Pebble+ directly via this link.

Please note that Pebble+ will open in a new window, so it is important that you have the pop-ups enabled.

Mobile access

PebblePad should be accessible via most Android/iOS devices via their browsers. 

A PebblePad account is also supported by an app (Android and iOS) called PebblePocket, which can be used online or offline. Assets created in PebblePocket can be saved offline, and then sent to your Asset Store in Pebble+ once online.

Access post-graduation

Once you graduate, your PebblePad account will be marked for deletion.

However, if you would like to retain access to PebblePad after leaving the University, it is essential that you apply for the Free Alumni Account (at no additional cost). This will allow you to continue building on and accessing your current PebblePad assets as you progress into your professional career or further study. With the ability to be able to openly share assets and presentations from Pebble+ on the web, you might think about sharing evidence of your ongoing development as part of future applications or ongoing reflective practice.

To create your Free Alumni PebblePad account (to be used beyond graduation):

• log in to PebblePad
• click on the "burger menu" in the top-left corner of the screen
• go to the Additional Settings section and select "Free Alumni Accounts" to register

You must do this while your university account is still active, but only when you have finished submitting work or receiving feedback through PebblePad. If in any doubt, please contact your course organiser.

Please note: Once you have applied for your Free Alumni Account, your PebblePad contents will be migrated over and your new login details will be emailed to your personal email. From then on, you must use the following alumni login page. 

Exporting your assets

If you are not interested in using PebblePad after you have left the University, you may still want to archive all your current assets on a USB stick or any other drive. To do so:

• log in to PebblePad
• go to your 'Asset Store'
• select an asset
• if it is a file you can download it (from the View mode)
• if it is a PebblePad asset (e.g. blog, webfolio, workbook, etc.), once opened click on the "I want to..." button and select the "Print" option
• all PebblePad assets can be exported as PDF files using the "Print" method
