What is this?
Not limited to adding one PebblePad assignment to a Blackboard course, it's possible to add multiple assignments. All are saved in the linked ATLAS workspace, meaning quick access for instructors, whilst also efficiently handling enrolment rostering.
How To Set-up
Before proceeding, first complete: Add A PebblePad Assignment
Requires the user to be enrolled as an Instructor or Course Builder on the Blackboard course.
1. Add Content Item
Select the + (plus) icon and choose Content Market from the dropdown menu.
2. Add ATLAS link
From the PebblePad and ATLAS via LTI 1.3 tile, select the + icon in the bottom right corner.
It's important not to select the title itself, as this will run the creation wizard process but will not add an assignment to the Blackboard course.
3. Adjust Blackboard Assignment settings
From the course page, select the 3 dot (...) menu, and choose Edit from the dropdown.
Retitle the assignment.
Mark to be Visible to Students from the dropdown menu.
Tick Create gradebook entry for this item.
Adjust maximum points to 100.
Save to confirm.
At this stage, you should also set the correct due dates and include an informative explanation for student in the description area.
4. Confirm ATLAS assignment settings
Select the assignment link to open PebblePad.
Scroll to the bottom of the page, confirming the assignment settings are correct.
Save to confirm.
Select the Assignment button from the workspace menu bar to view all listed assignments.
Repeat the steps above to add additional assignments. Each will be saved within the same ATLAS workspace connected to the Blackboard course.
Student View
Requires the user to be enrolled as a Student on the Blackboard course.
1. Open PebblePad
Select the assignment title to open the sidebar, and choose the Launch button to open PebblePad.
The link uses role recognition to detect a student user and direct them towards Pebble+.
2. Navigate Pebble+
Landing on the Pebble+ dashboard, you have full access to Get Creative or custom templates and resources.

Instructor View
Requires the user to be enrolled as an Instructor, Course Builder or Teaching Assistant on the Blackboard course.

The link uses role recognition to detect a non-student user (Instructor, Teaching Assistant etc) and direct them straight to the linked ATLAS workspace.
2. Navigate ATLAS workspace
Use the workspace's menu to access submissions, enrolments and settings.
