Contributions to PebbleBash - Case studies by learners
These case studies are older articles, but we have included some here that still hold relevant messages about what learners have found valuable about PebblePadd, and in particular messages to course designers and teachers about what learners wished they had known when beginning to use PebblePad or advice on introducing it to your cohort.
“During my three-year degree course I have been able to share and collaborate on work in a group setting, enabling this to happen at a convenient time rather than all having to be available at the same time and location.”
Midwifery, Lizzie MacKay, University of Wolverhampton, UK
“PebblePad has provided a visual representation of my research activity over the last year, giving me an indication of when I have been, and when I am most likely to be productive in my work.”
Pedagogical Research, Lucy Cave, Aston University, UK
“I would advise lecturers (or course designers) who are thinking of using PebblePad to take the time to explain the benefits to their students. For it to be really effective students need to feel the value of using it and have ownership over what they are creating."
Applied Psychology and Sociology, Claire Fellows, University of Surrey, UK
Advice to lecturers – “Integrate the software as a tool or thread that runs over the course of the degree and is part of the process of either submission of work, communication with staff or connected to specific tasks. My experience was one of an isolated piece of software and as enthusiastic as I am, my use of the functions available is limited.”
Psychology, Ann Marie Killeen, University of Wolverhampton, UK
"I really believe that PebblePad has encouraged me to find ways of expressing myself that were far better than words alone."
Creative Expressive Therapies, Ruth Barnsley, University of Derby, UK
